Nitori Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Sapporo; President and CEO: Akio Shinohara; hereinafter 'Nitori') has started selling the 'Drum Washing Dryer (standard wash capacity 10kg / standard dry capacity 5kg) ND100KL2' at all Nitori stores nationwide and on Nitori Net from mid-June 2026. [Product Page] https://www.nitori-net.jp/ec/product/2113400063822s/ Nitori's drum washing dryer, priced under ¥100,000, has been widely purchased by customers seeking solutions to common concerns such as 'too expensive,' 'no space for installation,' and 'long wash-to-dry cycles.' This popular product, which redefined expectations for drum washing dryers, has now evolved further to address even more customer needs. The new model now features 'automatic dispensing of liquid detergent and fabric softener,' eliminating the need for manual measuring. Additionally, a new 'low-temperature drying' cycle has been added to gently dry delicate garments. Furthermore, in addition to the existing left-opening door model, a highly requested right-opening door model has been newly introduced, allowing customers to choose based on their home layout. Despite significant improvements in functionality and usability, the price remains unchanged at under ¥100,000—just ¥99,900 including tax. This is truly a confident offering that exceeds expectations—'O, Nedan Ijou.' ■ Product Features Reduce daily hassle: Automatic liquid detergent and fabric softener dispensing For those concerned about garment damage: 'Low-temperature drying' cycle that gently dries clothes Minimizes disruption to household workflow: New right-opening door model added alongside left-opening ① Solves space issues: Compact size despite 10kg capacity—smaller than conventional top-loading washers (※1) ② Ideal for busy households: 'Express Wash & Dry' cycle completes in 60 minutes ③ Effortless maintenance: Drying filter is automatically cleaned after each use Reduce daily hassle: Automatic liquid detergent and fabric softener dispensing The new automatic dispensing function for liquid detergent and fabric softener eliminates the need for manual measuring and pouring. With a large-capacity tank (1,000ml for detergent, 600ml for softener), laundry becomes much simpler. Users can adjust the standard dispensing amount in 1ml increments to match their preferred detergent or softener. A warning light blinks when tank levels are low, preventing unexpected run-outs. For those concerned about garment damage: 'Low-temperature drying' cycle that gently dries clothes When concerned about shrinkage or fabric damage, use the 'Low-temperature drying' cycle, which gently dries clothes using warm air at approximately 60°C. Drying at a lower temperature reduces stress on fabrics, making it suitable even for garments prone to shrinking. Minimizes disruption to household workflow: New right-opening door model added alongside left-opening In addition to the existing left-opening door model, a right-opening door model has been added. Choose based on your installation space. Selecting the door's opening direction to match your laundry workflow reduces unnecessary movements during use. ① Solves space issues: Compact size despite 10kg capacity—smaller than conventional top-loading washers (※1) With dimensions of 600mm (W) × 857mm (H) × 595mm (D), this compact unit is smaller than a standard 10kg top-loading washer, making it ideal for customers who previously gave up on purchasing due to space or access constraints. ※1 Volume comparison based on external dimensions with 10kg fully automatic washer NT100S1 (540mm W × 982mm H × 601mm D) ② Ideal for busy households: 'Express Wash & Dry' cycle completes in 60 minutes A survey revealed that only about 20% of users operate the drying function daily (※2), with 'drying takes too long' being a common reason. To address this, the new model includes an 'Express Wash & Dry' cycle that completes washing and drying of approximately 2kg of laundry in about 60 minutes (※3). Perfect for quick laundry during spare moments or when you've forgotten to wash clothes and need them dried urgently. ※2 Internal survey (N=218) ※3 Drying time and results may vary depending on installation environment, laundry load, fabric type, thickness, weave, and combination. ③ Effortless maintenance: Drying filter is automatically cleaned after each use The hassle of manually removing and cleaning the drying filter after each use has been eliminated. During drying, lint and dust are automatically washed away, so there's no need to remove and clean the filter every time. Nitori supports customers before and after purchase.
