The Cubed, Slanted-Drum Washing Machine with a Beautiful Cubic Form


Panasonic will release six models, including the slanted-drum washing machine "Cuble" (NA-VG1000L, etc.), in early November. This new model features the industry's first "cubic form" that harmonizes with home sanitary spaces, and the industry's largest "large opening" for easier loading and unloading of laundry.

Named from "Cuboid" + "Bubble"


As seen in the collaboration between Panasonic's "C-Line" vanity and Journal Standard Furniture items, which we also featured on OPENERS, the design of home vanity areas (sanitary spaces) has diversified, ranging from curved to simple, straight-line coordination.

The "Cuble" slanted-drum washing machine retains the excellent washing and water-saving performance of Panasonic's traditional 10-degree slanted drum, while adopting a "cubic form" with a horizontal and vertical design, a departure from the previous curved body. It pursues external design and ease of use with a "flat face" without unevenness, a "clear window" for easy viewing inside the drum, and an integrated control panel, proposing harmony with sanitary spaces.

Improved Washing Performance Also Noteworthy


Hidetoshi Nishijima, Panasonic appliance CM character, who appeared at the new product launch, commented, "The high-quality texture and simple, beautiful form make you want to show it off. As expressed in the commercial, doing laundry seems like it will become more enjoyable."

The "Cuble" is equipped with the popular "hot water function" from Panasonic's VX series slanted drum washer-dryers, allowing for temperature settings of approximately 15, 40, and 60 degrees Celsius, and the "instant foam wash" that penetrates foam deep into fibers to lift and remove dirt. It effectively removes yellowing and stubborn stains, achieving high washing performance and water savings unique to drum-type machines.

The drying function, highly demanded in households, features newly developed "low-temperature powerful drying" (heater exhaust type) (up to 3kg capacity / NA-VG1000 and VG700 only) that gently dries clothes while minimizing shrinkage, damage, and wrinkles. It also includes cleaning functions such as automatic tub cleaning and a "30°C tub cleaning course," proposing a comfortable laundry style.
