Front-Loading Washer/Dryer with New Heat Pump that Saves Time,Energy and Water

Front-loading washer/dryer BD-STX130J, BD-SX120J
For this product, we have newly adopted the heat pump technology developed for refrigerators and EcoCute, and we developed the Rakuhaya (easy and fast) wind iron, which combines high-speed airflow with high air volume. The dry filter-less structure of Raku (easy) maintenance, which improves airflow resistance in the area where the dry filter used to be*1, contributes to the combination of high-speed airflow and high air volume.

These features save time and energy while maintaining the same high quality of finish. In addition, the heat pump system saves water*2 by eliminating the use of water for cooling and dehumidification during drying.
