Washing machine reuses tub water, dry-cleans leather jackets at home
Sanyo Japan was showcasing their new line of washing machines, AQUA this morning. The one that catches the most attention would be the ability of dry cleaning clothes at home. You heard that right, the wet-washing machine is able to dry-clean your clothes too, and they’re using Ozone. Sanyo was able to lower the temperature down to 50C, making leather jackets (and shoes) or silk ties fit to be tumbled in those washing drums.
Canon disses Sanyo Xacti with TX1
 When it comes to SD (SDHC) card camcorders, few would deny that the Sanyo Xacti line is indeed one of the most popular products if not the best and most successful in the market.

Sanyo Snoopy-ish dog checks battery status
The folks at Sanyo are Snoopy fanboys, they’re no shy about combining the name of their rechargeable battery Eneloop with that. So we have the Eneloopy today, a dog that takes the Eneloop battery in its tummy, the nose will light up when there’s juice in there. Then you can roughly guess how much is left from the brightness. As if that’s not the main function, there’re also a couple of plastic bones that come with the Eneloopy to make... Continue reading
It’s okay to be irresponsible when your air-conditioner is smart
For those that live in places where the climate does not allow you to live without an air-conditioner, you will understand how annoying it is to clean the filters inside. We all aim to clean it at least once a year, but sometimes it is up till the point when we can’t stand the smell any more do we take turns to do the cleaning. Sanyo’s new Seasonal Color air-conditioner EX series have a few gadgets in their to save... Continue reading
Testing Sanyo’s stylus-free thumbwriting recognition: W42SA
One of the models that deserve attention in the Winter line-up of AU KDDI would be Sanyo’s W42SA. This phone supports a new kind of handwriting recognition that does not require a stylus, instead you would be using your thumb to “stroke” over the number keys. Of course you can still use the usual T9 predictive text system, but just face it, there are a lot of words that even the Japanese don’t know how to pronounce properly, names and... Continue reading
Sanyo’s NEO electric shaver is not all about the looks
Sanyo has started selling the expensive-looking T-SOLID SV-NS1 electric shaver before Christmas, claiming that it was the best-looking electric shaver they have ever made. The Impress team took it for a spin and liked what they saw. First off the whole redesigned handle and the slanted angle all turn out to be really ergonomic. The best part is perhaps the little door that you can open and flush water in to wash the blade without taking the whole head off,... Continue reading
