Read that headline again. Bonkers, isn’t it? But that’s what Panasonic’s promising from its first ever washing machine: a clothes-cleaner that’ll recognise what you’ve got inside it, and spin it “in 3D.”
Honestly, Panasonic has gone 3D mad. If it’s not 3D Blu-Ray, it’s a 3D Washing Machine. According to Panasonic, its 3D Washing Machine has a special set of sensors to figure out exactly how much your washing weighs, and the force with which it falls from the top to the bottom of the drum. From that information, it can figure out how fast to spin it to make sure it gets a good dose of detergent on all sides.
In effect, it means your grubby clobber gets spun through 3D space, rather than just clinging to the side of the drum. We’re not sure that lives up to our expectations. If we’re honest, we had very futuristic visions when we first heard Panny mutter the words “3D Washing Machine”, but it is very eco friendly.
Because the 3D Washing Machine can sense exactly the right amount of speed to use, it doesn’t waste any energy. It also uses a tilted drum, so it uses less water. It’s Panasonic’s first ever washing machine, but the company promises it won’t be the last, as it makes a new push into white goods.

It’s Panasonic’s first ever washing machine ???- IN EUROPE !!!!!. Panasonic/National has been the prefered white good brand in Japan for 40 years. Get your info right next time, please
This is very true, and indeed the £d sensors work to control the movement of the clothes – I was at the Amsterdam launch.
The noise level is phenomenal, high frequency noises eliminated for sure!! I also quite like the design, simple but classic at the same time.
Sorry that should have read 3D sensors.
Panasonic have actually manfactured 80million washers and were the worlds first manafacturers to fit a heat pump tumble dryer in a washer back in 2005!! They have made washers since 1951.
I have recently purchased one of these machines and can highly recommend to anyone, its very quiet, simple to use and very efficient.
I have one of these washing machines and it is excellent! Extremely quiet and far better made than its Hotpoint predecessor which only lasted 3 years.
