Hi guys,
Well I found this Panasonic NA-168VG3 8kg 1600rpm washer on eBay half an hour away from where we live. I'm amazed! It has a massive drum, a silent inverter motor and 5 recirculation jets!! It uses lots of sensing technology only including a very good water level sensor. The cool feature is the 3D washing system which adjusts the tumble speed depending on the size of the load. Heavy loads get a faster tumble and slower for light loads. It wasn't too fussy on spin and was very quiet on 1600rpm! We plan to buy a matching heatpump dryer brand new as I wouldn't know where to start fixing a broken heatpump! Darren |

Nice! Seen your video, it's certainly quiet enough! Isn't that where the Askos were? |

That's a pretty good rinse level. My Whirlpool has gone above half way up before though... |

I had planned to get a top of line bosch set until I stumbled upon the panasonic! Yes those new whirlpools look abit of a bargain for the price!
I love the 5 jets on this I never know where to look 😂👏 I washed a fairy full load last night and it picked up the tumble speed nicely! I'm going to wash the dog beds shortly, they get rather heavy when wet so it could be interesting to see how it adapts the cycle speeds and water levels. Darren |

Lol whoops! Yes Louis the fairy did s fairly full load! 😂
Unbalanced loads: it can be slightly fussy with towels but normal loads seem to spin first time. If it does detect imbalance it will try to spin then it will break the drum hard, thus throwing some water out and throwing the load about. It will keep doing this until it finds a happy level. Last nights load was heavy with a lot of absorbent items like hoodies and sweatpants. It span through a waterlock it didnt pour down the glass but it made the obvious slosing drum sound for a while and then picked up speed when it cleared! Darren |
