1.1. Panasonic 9kg NA-F90A4GRV washing machine
The Panasonic NA-F90A4GRV top-loading washing machine effortlessly blends with any interior style, suitable for use in small spaces such as dormitories or mini apartments. The touch-sensitive display panel in Vietnamese is designed on the back of the machine for convenient usage, eliminating neck strain when selecting washing programs.

This Panasonic 9 kg washing machine model includes 9 convenient washing modes: air drying in 90 minutes, delicate wash, quick wash, regular wash, baby clothes, environmentally friendly, water-saving, soaking, softener, and tub cleaning.

Furthermore, the Panasonic 9 kg washing machine NA-F90A4GRV utilizes Dancing water flow technology to create powerful multidirectional swirling currents that penetrate deeply into fabric fibers for thorough cleaning.
The ActiveFoam system in the washing machine dissolves soap into tiny microbubbles that deeply penetrate fabric fibers, eliminating even the toughest stains, ensuring quick and efficient clothes cleaning. This is an exclusive technology of Panasonic 9kg washing machine models.
Moreover, the SAZANAMI stainless steel drum with specially designed drainage holes ensures thorough removal of dirt, protects fabrics from bacteria, and keeps your family's clothes looking new.
In the event of a power outage, the auto restart feature will be activated. When power is restored, the machine will automatically resume the paused washing cycle and complete it without compromising the machine's durability.
The electricity usage efficiency of this Panasonic 9kg top-loading washing machine is quite impressive, consuming only 7.4 Wh/kg, making it suitable for households seeking an energy-efficient washing machine. However, due to its affordable price, the product is equipped with a Belt Drive motor, hence it might experience vibrations and noise during operation.
1.2. Toshiba 8Kg K905DV(SG) Washing Machine
This Toshiba top-loading washing machine with 8kg capacity is super energy-efficient, consuming only about 4.4 Wh/kg, allowing you to do your laundry comfortably without worrying about soaring electricity bills at the end of the month.

The crystal star-shaped drum of this Toshiba washing machine resembles a washing board, facilitating easier laundry without fabric wear.
The Toshiba K905DV(SG) Washing Machine is equipped with Great Waves washing technology that utilizes 3 water streams to swiftly clean clothes. This technology employs a combination of 3 water streams from 3 directions to generate super-fast waves that effectively remove tough stains, reducing the washing time of the wash cycle.
Paired with GreatWave washing technology, the i-clean technology continues to push strong water currents into the washing drum during cycles to effectively remove dirt. Simultaneously, the drum spins at high speeds to eliminate mold, odor, and bacteria during the washing process (water level approximately 2/8 of the washing drum).
Moreover, the Toshiba K905DV washing machine also integrates a self-cleaning function for the washing drum after each use to remove bacteria and leftover debris, thus better protecting your clothes and saving annual maintenance costs.
Furthermore, the Toshiba K905DV is equipped with a timer function, which is very useful when you're too busy to keep an eye on the washing machine. The delayed wash setting allows you to schedule the machine to start washing after 3, 4, 5 hours, or more. In case of a power outage during washing, the machine will automatically save your settings and resume the cycle when power is restored.
