Not bad.
To be honest, foreign brands of air conditioners are still ahead of domestic ones. At present, the air-conditioning market is accelerating the popularization of frequency conversion products. The reason why these are not used as gimmicks by foreign brands is because these technologies have long been popularized abroad, especially in Japan. Friends who have been to Japan may wish to take a look at the popularity of frequency conversion products in Japan, which is no less than 90%.
Panasonic entered the market in the 1980s, and its air-conditioning factory was established in Guangzhou in 1995. It has been established longer than most domestic air-conditioning brands. In the past 20 years, it has basically followed the global synchronization of technology, that is, Japan's Technology is also introduced in China, and the strict work style of Japanese companies is indeed the key to ensuring product quality. For this reason, if you have a relatively loose budget for air conditioners, you can give priority to Japanese products.
Basic introduction to Panasonic air conditioners:
Panasonic (a famous Japanese electronics manufacturer) is a Japanese multinational company with more than 230 companies around the world. The total number of employees exceeds 290,493. There are more than 54,000 of them in China. The total sales in 2001 were more than 61 billion US dollars, ranking 26th among the world's top 500 manufacturing companies.
Panasonic's Chinese name is "Panasonic" (early called National, gradually changed to Panasonic starting in 1986, and all unified as Panasonic from October 1, 2008). Fortunately, he started his own business and developed branded products covering home appliances, digital audio-visual electronics, office products, aviation and many other fields and became famous all over the world; the company's brand jumped into the "Top 500 World Brands" rankings. Panasonic announced on October 31, 2012 that its consolidated final profit and loss (according to US accounting standards) for the 2012 fiscal year (April 2012 to March 2013) is expected to be reduced from a profit of 50 billion yen to a loss of 765 billion yen.
Electrical appliance brands:
Since the "Panasonic" brand was launched as a brand for North America in 1961, its brand value has been enhanced both at home and abroad. By unifying "Panasonic" as a global brand, marketing resources can be concentrated, and an effective public relations campaign can be launched to introduce the business form of Panasonic Electric, which has a wide range of products. By combining the "Panasonic" brand with the values ??of "safety/reliability" and "advancement/cutting-edge" established in the European and American markets, and expanding to all overseas regions, we seek to further expand the brand value.
Domestically, it is mainly used in imaging equipment, audio equipment, magnetic recording products, information/communication equipment, vehicle equipment, electronic components, semiconductors, electron tubes, FA-welding machines, photo supplies, etc.
Quality issues:
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the quality supervision department’s special supervision and random inspection results on the quality of household electric washing machines showed that among the 17 batches of randomly inspected products, including Panasonic, Xiaoya , LG, and other five batches of household electric washing machines were judged to be of substandard quality. Among them, the Panasonic brand XQB65-H671U fully automatic washing machine of Hangzhou Panasonic Home Appliances Co., Ltd. failed to pass the test in three items: washing performance, power consumption and energy efficiency level. In February 2013, Panasonic expressed objections to the random inspection results and applied for re-inspection. After re-inspection by the municipal quality supervision department, it was still found that the above-mentioned quality problems existed in this batch of products. On February 28, 2013, the Shanghai Quality Supervision Bureau introduced in detail the relevant situation of the random inspection and made it clear that the results of the random inspection were "no problem."
