NEW DELHI: Panasonic's official India store lists the CH4 top-load washing machines at Rs 24,500 for NA-F70CH4CRB and Rs 27,400 for NA-F80CH4CRB. Both amounts are labelled MRP inclusive of taxes. The catalogue presents them as the 7 kg and 8 kg versions respectively, with a built-in heater and MirAIe connectivity.
| Exact model | Capacity in catalogue title | Finish | Listed MRP |
|---|---|---|---|
| NA-F70CH4CRB | 7 kg | Charcoal Inox Grey | Rs 24,500 |
| NA-F80CH4CRB | 8 kg | Charcoal Inox Grey | Rs 27,400 |
Price as of 7 November 2026, 00:32 IST. This table covers the CH4 versions displayed on the catalogue page checked for this report. It is a reference to Panasonic's published amounts, without subtracting bank promotions, cashback or exchange values. A delivery quotation should retain the complete model code.
What the CH4 name tells you
The common proposition is a heater-equipped, connected top-loader. Panasonic's catalogue identifies Drynamic Spin, StainMaster+ and a set of onboard wash programmes for these machines. The practical question is whether the household wants heated wash options and app functions together, rather than simply a conventional machine with a larger drum.
The readable NA-F70CH4CRB detail page separates heated courses for different cleaning tasks. That is more useful than treating the presence of a heater as a reason to heat every load. Everyday fabric care still begins with garment instructions and the selected programme. Heated washing is a tool to use deliberately, not a universal setting.
For this range, the finish does not provide a reason to move up the price table: both listed versions use the same named grey colour. The distinction a reader should investigate is the laundry capacity described in the catalogue and whether it matches the model delivered. A colour preference cannot explain the difference between these particular listings.
A capacity discrepancy needs checking
The smaller version's detailed page contains an inconsistency. Its product heading and the category listing identify it as 7 kg, while a lower overview field says 6.5 kg. We have labelled the table explicitly as catalogue-title capacity and have not treated that lower field as a separate variant or assigned it another price.
That discrepancy matters if a home is comparing closely sized machines. Ask for the capacity shown on the actual appliance label and its matching manual before finalising an order. A product code, title and delivered rating should agree. Until they do, a decimal value copied from a web table should not settle the choice.
The larger version's detail page could not be read during this check, so the price and headline features for it come from Panasonic's accessible category page. Specifications from the smaller machine have not been silently transferred to it. In particular, this report does not assume that physical dimensions or weight are identical across both versions.
Connected functions have a different purpose from wash capacity
MirAIe adds remote interaction and wash guidance to the smaller model's published feature set. Panasonic also describes stain suggestions, weather guidance and consumption tracking on that detail page. These functions address planning and monitoring. They do not establish that a larger or more heavily soiled load can be squeezed into the drum.
A useful demonstration would show the controls on the appliance as well as the app. Consider who normally operates the washer and whether that person wants phone-based guidance. If several people share laundry duties, agree which functions everyone needs to understand. The benefit of connected features depends on their place in the household's actual routine.
Drynamic Spin is presented as a way to shorten subsequent drying time. It should not be read as confirmation that this top-loader delivers cupboard-ready clothes like a dedicated heated dryer. Before relying on any drying claim, establish what the programme does and where the clothes will go after the wash.
For a balcony installation, also obtain the dimensions for the exact code being ordered. More stated wash capacity does not establish how much extra floor space the machine will need.
Who each version is for
The NA-F70CH4CRB listing is relevant to homes planning smaller, regular batches while seeking the heater and connected feature combination. Its capacity discrepancy deserves resolution first. The NA-F80CH4CRB listing addresses readers who want more stated washing capacity within that same broad proposition, subject to checking its full specification sheet.
Keep warranty duration separate from the price comparison. Our Panasonic EZ18 price list: Rs 43,990 to Rs 46,490, LG washing machine warranty: 2 years on product, 10 on DD motor and Samsung washer motor warranty: 120 months for buys from 1 April 2026 explain other brands' ownership terms. They provide useful questions to ask, while the Panasonic invoice and applicable warranty documents determine this purchase's cover.
