Panasonic's ultra-flagship new product, the ALPHA G5 "Four-in-One Washing Machine," is launched. One unit serves as a laundry room.

[Hangzhou, September 8, 2025] Witnessed by hundreds of industry partners and mainstream media, Hangzhou Matsushita Home Appliance Co., Ltd. held the grand "One Washing Room Press Conference" for Matsushita's laundry and care products at the International Fashion Showground in Yishang Town, Hangzhou. The company officially launched the ultra - flagship new product, the Matsushita ALPHA G5 "Four - Tub Washing System", which takes the lead in the industry's exploration of multi - tub washing machines with its "Four - Tub All - Heat - Pump Washing, Drying and Care All - in - One Machine", opening up a new solution for high - end laundry and care.

Driven by user needs, the "multi - tub" trend in the laundry and care industry has become increasingly obvious in recent years. Mini - tub, double - tub, and triple - tub products have been continuously launched. Most of them still adopt the vertical stacking or side - by - side combination methods, or achieve a certain degree of one - machine zoning to some extent. However, there are still pain points such as small capacity, large floor space, fragmented user experience, and difficulty in integrating with home decoration.

With the emergence of more refined needs for home washing, drying, and care, Matsushita responds to users' refined requirements for a high - quality life with an attitude of "listening to all advice". With the highly integrated "Four - Tub Washing System" solution, it condenses a laundry room of about 5 square meters into the volume of an ordinary washing and drying set, bringing a brand - new experience of "one machine is a laundry room". As Hu Jiehua, the general manager of Hangzhou Matsushita Home Appliance Co., Ltd., said at the press conference: "Users want both zoning and space - saving; they want both efficiency and high quality. The G5 combines these needs, making the 'four - tub' truly integrated into a complete laundry room."

Wu Lei, the brand ambassador of Matsushita washing machines, also attended the event in person to share his understanding of high - end laundry and care and the concept of "one machine as a laundry room".

As another breakthrough in the Matsushita ALPHA series, the ALPHA G5 continues the brand spirit of "Pioneers create their own answers". With breakthroughs in four dimensions of "high - level integration, ingenuity in aesthetics, powerful performance, and intelligent experience", it makes zoned laundry and care no longer rely on stacking multiple machines. Instead, it realizes an efficient and healthy laundry and care experience in an integrated way.

The G5 "Four - Tub Washing System": One Machine Equals a Laundry Room

Compared with the existing double - tub, triple - tub, and multi - tub stacked products on the market, the Matsushita ALPHA G5 innovatively realizes "four - tub integration, 8 - in - 1": four tubs in one machine can wash and dry simultaneously. It solves two major problems that the industry has not yet achieved: automatic drying after separate washing at one time. In scenarios such as night - time washing or washing before going out, there is no need to wait for manual operation, and the machine will dry automatically. In the scenario of washing different fabrics together, different temperatures are used for separate drying of fabrics such as down and silk, achieving a better and more garment - friendly effect.

It can efficiently and flexibly handle zoned laundry and care for different family members and a variety of fabrics. This is equivalent to condensing the functions of a laundry room of about 5 square meters into the volume of an ordinary washing and drying set, greatly improving the efficiency and health protection of home laundry and care. With this innovative form, the ALPHA G5 is also called Matsushita's "Four - Tub Washing System", which meets diverse washing, drying, and care needs with a four - tub integrated solution.

High - Level Integration: Synergy of Hardware and Software, Achieving Perfection

Notably, while integrating multiple functional zones, the ALPHA G5 also achieves a high - level integration in space utilization. The whole machine is compressed to a user - friendly height of 1738mm, and the lower edge of the upper tub is no more than 1.2m, which is more in line with the daily operating habits of Chinese people. There is no need to stand on tiptoe or stretch hard when taking out or putting in clothes.

This balance is due to several technological breakthroughs made by Matsushita in a limited space: The central heat - pump system innovatively adopts a compact inverted V - shaped structure, enabling one set of heat - pump to drive the drying of four tubs simultaneously in a limited space, taking into account both air volume and energy efficiency. The high - performance Absorb micro - vibration damping pad helps to compress the overall height by about 100mm. The lower - placed intelligent dosing system utilizes the idle space at the bottom, and one set of the device can accurately supply four tubs.

At the hardware level, the four tubs share one set of water, electricity, and air circuits. Compared with conventional machines, the mechanical precision is doubled, making the operation of the whole machine more stable and reducing the safety hazards caused by stacking multiple machines.

At the software level, the ALPHA G5 has an α - Agent intelligent core center composed of 76 intelligent chips, which drives the multi - tub cooperation with high intelligence. In a complex parallel laundry and care environment, even when sharing the same water, electricity, and air passage systems, it can match the most suitable washing and drying parameters for each of the four tubs, realizing a laundry and care environment of "shared passages, independent operation".

The synergy of hardware and software makes zoned laundry and care no longer a complex operation of stacking multiple machines but an integrated experience, achieving an ultimate experience where 4 > 1 + 2+3.

Ingenuity in Aesthetics: Minimalist Design, Space Integration

Jointly developed by Matsushita and the Porsche Design Studio, the ALPHA G5 inherits the consistent minimalist aesthetic DNA of Porsche and continues the Bauhaus concept of "form follows function", making the appearance and function naturally unified.

The overall shape of the machine removes redundant lines and is only composed of circles and squares, following the minimalist balance of the golden ratio. It is simple and neat, easily integrating into various home decoration environments.

In terms of the body material, the whole machine is integrally die - cast from 304 finely carved stainless steel and supplemented with ultra - thin nano - coating treatment. It is durable, fingerprint - resistant, and stain - resistant, ensuring that the body maintains a fresh texture for a long time.

As General Manager Hu Jiehua emphasized at the press conference: "The G5 is not just a household appliance but more like a work of art. It can not only integrate into any home environment but also become the finishing touch of the decoration!" Through the combination of design and function, the ALPHA G5 enables technology and home space to coexist harmoniously, responding to users' pursuit of the beauty of a high - quality life.

Powerful Performance: Professional Luxury Care, A New Realm of Laundry and Care

In terms of washing, drying, and care functions, the G5 is equipped with multiple exclusive Matsushita black technologies, with full - scale configurations. For example, Matsushita's globally - first "Centrifugal Water - Purifying Washing" technology realizes water purification while washing for the first time, ensuring that clothes are always washed in pure water. And Matsushita's exclusive nanoeX black technology can provide professional care at the level of a dry - cleaning shop for high - end luxury fabrics through fiber - level anhydrous maintenance.

Interactive Experience: Intelligent System, Control at Will

To provide consumers with a more intelligent and user - friendly experience, the ALPHA G5 also innovates a more futuristic control method. Matsushita's first - ever α - Watch "Intelligent Control Star Ring" can be removed from the machine body, allowing for convenient control of the four tubs anytime and anywhere. At the same time, the α - Chat AI voice assistant uses a big - data AI model. Through intelligent interaction, users can complete laundry and care instructions with natural voice.

AI Intelligent Media, Opening a New Era of Audio - Visual Experience

For the release of the ALPHA G5, Matsushita also made a new attempt in the communication method: Collaborating with the world - class artificial intelligence laboratory Silverside AI, it officially launched the world's first AI promotional video in the home appliance industry.

The short video, from the script, production to music, is entirely generated by AI technology, combining the highly futuristic intelligent scenarios with the technological breakthroughs of the product to interpret the connotation of innovation. This not only extends the expression of the leading strength of the ALPHA G5 but also shows Matsushita's insight into and embrace of cutting - edge technologies, opening up new possibilities for the future intelligent home laundry and care for users.

The release of the ALPHA G5 once again consolidates Matsushita's leading position in the high - end laundry and care field. Looking to the future, Matsushita will continue to drive the upgrade of high - end laundry and care with technological innovation and design aesthetics, leading the industry's thinking with the height of its representative works and bringing infinite possibilities of a better life to more families.
