Toshiba Lifestyle Products & Services Corporation will release new products for its fully automatic washing machine "ZABOON" series: the "AW-12DPB6" and "AW-10DPB6" in June, and the "AW-9DPB6" and "AW-8DPB6" in July. These models feature a "Low & Big Opening" that makes it easy to load and unload clothes.
The "Low & Big Opening," which has been well received on the 12/10kg models [*1], is now also adopted for the 9/8kg models. By widening the opening and making the bottom of the tub shallower, it is now easier to load and unload clothes. Furthermore, the "Antibacterial Ultra Fine Bubble Wash W," which enhances washing effectiveness, is also equipped on the 9/8kg models, following the 12/10kg models. It effectively removes sebum dirt from deep within the fibers to prevent clothes from yellowing.
● "Fine Bubble," "Ultra Fine Bubble," and "FINE BUBBLE" are registered trademarks of the Fine Bubble Industries Association.
The 12/10kg models released in 2025, which were the first to adopt the "Low & Big Opening," were highly evaluated in the market for their ease of use, including the ease of loading and unloading clothes, and received a lot of positive feedback from users. Therefore, the same design has been adopted for the 9/8kg models "AW-9DPB6" and "AW-8DPB6" this time. The width and depth of the opening have been expanded by about 5% respectively [*2], and by making the bottom of the tub shallower, it is now easier to load and unload clothes.
As for the washing functions, the "Antibacterial Ultra Fine Bubble Wash W" is equipped on the 9/8kg models as well, following the 12/10kg models. Ultra Fine Bubble water is now used not only for washing but also for rinsing. With two high-flow showers, the detergent solution containing Ultra Fine Bubbles permeates the clothes, effectively removing sebum dirt deep within the fibers to suppress yellowing, while thoroughly rinsing away the remaining washing ingredients of the detergent.
In addition, every time you wash, the clothes are treated with "Ag+ Antibacterial Water" [*3] to prevent the proliferation of bacteria that cause unpleasant odors when drying clothes indoors.
