Panasonic NA-140VX4 review
Low running costs and a great purchase price, but this 10kg washing machine doesn't quite have the wash performance of previous models
Specifications
Drum size: 10kg, Spin speed: 1,400rpm, Rated efficiency: A+++, Wool wash: Yes, Silk Wash: Yes, Hand Wash: Yes
EASE OF USE AND FEATURES
Simplicity is the word when it comes to the NA-140VX4’s controls. A good basic layout makes this machine a delight to use. A single control dial makes it easy to select the wash cycle you want to use. There are plenty to choose from, with special modes for Shirts, Bedding, Baby-care, Delicates, Wool and Denim.
Clear controls make it easy to use all of this washing machine’s features
A clear LCD display shows you the time remaining, the wash temperature and spin speed. You can use the dedicated buttons to manually adjust the wash temperature and spin speed for any cycle, while you can also set a delay timer.
We like Panasonic washing machines for their ease of use, and the build and general quality is of a high standard. Buttons and dials are tactile and feel robust when handling.
CONCLUSION
All in all, this washing machine is good choice, available for a decent price and with low running costs. It doesn’t quite have the same standard of wash performance that we’ve seen from previous models, though. For better cleaning and low costs, the 9kg Samsung Ecobubble WF90F7E6U6W is a better choice.
