Energy Saving Trust endorses Panasonic 2010 white goods

Panasonic has announced that the Energy Saving Trust now endorses the new 2010 additions to the white goods range and therefore the new products now carry the coveted Energy Saving Recommended logo.

Under the Energy Saving Recommended scheme, only products that meet strict criteria on energy efficiency can display the logo. The criteria is set by an independent panel and reviewed annually. The logo ensures consumers that they are purchasing the most energy efficient products and will cost less to run whilst also helping to lower CO2 emissions.

Following on the success of last year

Joining the two Panasonic fridge-freezers which were approved by the Energy Saving Trust last year, (NR-B30FG1 and NR-B30FX1), is Panasonic’s new side-by-side American style refrigerator, the NR-B53V1, is the industry’s first A++ Energy Rated US style model with No Frost technology. The NR-B54X1 side-by-side refrigerator in arctic white also carries the Energy Saving Recommended logo. The exceptional energy efficiency is made possible by a shrewd combination of technological innovations such as Inverter technology and the U-Vacua vacuum insulation panel. As a result, the new fridge-freezers are much quieter than comparable models while the substantially thinner insulation walls provide greater storage capacity.

Two of Panasonic’s new washing machines, NA-168VX2 and NA-168VG2 are also certified by the Energy Saving Trust as energy efficient appliances. All Energy Saving Recommended washing machines must be AAA rated: A for energy efficiency, A for spin efficiency and A for wash performance. Four out of the five newly launched models for 2010 offer a power consumption of 30% lower than conventional A-category appliances and, like the fridge-freezers, produce best values in terms of electricity use. Also offering an increased load capacity of 8kg, these are some of the most efficient washing machines on the market.
