An update... About three months after using it (usually on auto, air filter only), the fan started to sound like a propeller airplane taking off! We got it fixed under warranty, and hope it was a one-off issue with this model. Apart from that, it has been great - have to clean the outer filter every few days (quick low-setting vacuum) as the dust gets so thick. Definitely works well. The humidifier appears to be working well, and the tank usually has to be refilled once a day on average.
thnx 4 the review,but i was wondering since it has a permanent filter, isnt that a downside? i mean it it wont be as effective over the long run.also, do you know how much the filter replacment costs?
Hi Darren. They say you should: 1) Wash the water tank each time you fill it. If you find any build up of grime, us ammonium citrate (that's kuen san in Japanese). 2) Wash the humidifier tank tray once a month. You should also do that for the mould-prevention unit in the tray. They recommend two tablespoons of ammonium citrate for 3L of hot water (about 40 degrees), and leaving the unit/tank soaking in there for 30 mins. Rinse really well after, and let dry (I do that outside). (cont...)
3) Another thing I read is (after making sure your humidifier parts are clean), running the unit on anything but the humidifier mode on the 'Turbo' setting for three hours, and make sure you also have the Nanoe feature turned on. Hope that helps a little!
Hello, although I have a different Panasonic Nanoe humidifier (F-VXF80), I was wondering if you could help me find what to get in order to get rid of the bad smell (smells like an aquarium) of my humidifier/purifier. I have had this for about 6 months now and I constantly clean both filters. I live in Japan but unfortunately I do not speak Japanese so talking to the Panasonic reps is kinda hard. Thank you!!!
@IslamMyMed Hi and thanks! There are two filters: one for the dust and one for the odor. Both are rated as having ten-year lives. By that time, it may be time to replace the whole thing, anyway (I hope it lasts 10 years!) On the Panasonic website in Japan, it says: F-ZXFP70 dust filter @ 7,350 yen F-ZXFD70 odor filter @ 4,725 yen Recommended retail prices. BTW, the dust filter is black and quite tough - easy to see when you have dust build up and to vacuum off. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the review. Question: I am considering purchasing the item for use in the USA. Are you aware of the plug specifications for the product? Will I need a converter or adapter for us in the U.S.?
Mine is on the way. How do you feel abut the humidifier does it feel wet a bit and is there a way to lock the buttons so my little child won't mess out with them
Thanks. It's still in use, and doing well (it cleared the room of burned fish smell pretty well the other week), but... got the latest Sharp for the kids room, and I must say it seems to be a lot better (well, it's a newer model, so it should be!). I didn't hesitate to get the Sharp, really, despite being not unhappy with the Pana here. There is a reason they hold top spot here in Japan in this field.
Thanks Andy! I actually bought a semi-recent Sharp model (KC-D50) and it seems to perform quite well. However, I did notice that the Panasonic units tend to have the filter element on the front which seems to allow you to back them up completely against a wall which seems pretty useful. I think I'll buy another for a different room and try a new Panasonic out just to cover both brands. Thanks for the help!
@tytjanik Hi, and thanks. Yes, it has an indicator on the front (lights up in green at top right). Ranges from 'Below 30%' and then in 10% increments to 'Above 70%'. In winter here (in Japan), it usually is about 50-60% in my house. It will still show current humidity even if you do not have the setting on "Humidifier and Air Purifier" (my approximate translation). After using it for three months now on humidifier setting, I do not notice any "smell" that you often get with humidifiers.
@andybsan thnx a lot for replying, the info was more than helpful.i appreciate it.hope u enjoy a long and healthy life,both physicaly and spiritually.tc
Hi! Wow...I had almost forgotten about this video. It still works, but "hums" a little (=makes a little noise). I think I need to replace the filter again, but I think it could be expensive now so I will upgrade to a new model. Hope that helps.
@christineaimee Hey there! Well, its only rated at exactly 100V and for either 50/60Hz. Best to look at the ehow entry entitled: "can you use Japanese appliances in the US?" for more details. It should work in theory, but I can't say for sure. Hope that helps!
The nanoe name is Terrible, the marketing team should be fired, doesnt justify 20 years of Panasonic's hard work, should be called nano cell or something, J got one and nano tech is the best for removing dogs odours bacterial and etc I am very very impressed.

Nice video - how's the purifier holding up, or has it since been replaced? I'm sort of torn between the Sharp and Panasonic models.

andybsan Is Sharp any different filter-wise? I mean the quantity of filters and the idea of "Air washing"

So shall I buy Pana or Sharp? :)
Can this remove pets odor and hair
How can I set this nanoe to be cold when I feel hot
It's not an air conditioner, just an air filter and humidifier!
