YAMADA Holdings Unveils New “RORO” 9kg Diagonal Drum-Type Washer-Dryer with Automatic Detergent/Softener Dispenser

YAMADA Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Representative Director and CEO: Noboru Yamada) is set to launch a new model of its diagonal drum-type washer-dryer, equipped with an automatic liquid detergent and softener dispenser, under the “RORO” sub-brand of its original “YAMADA Products” brand. This new appliance will be available nationwide at Yamada Denki stores (excluding some) and on the Yamada Webcom (EC site) from June 13, 2026 (Saturday). Pre-orders will commence on June 6, 2026 (Saturday).

Background of Development

As a leading appliance retailer with extensive customer contact points, YAMADA Holdings is committed to developing original models that address customer needs. The “RORO” washing machine brand has consistently focused on core needs such as “time-saving,” “time-performance (Tai-Pa),” “cleanliness,” and “comfort,” aiming to make daily laundry more pleasant. With this new model, the company specifically targeted the pressing need of dual-income and single-person households to “reduce the burden of housework.” By integrating the automatic liquid detergent and softener dispenser, the new model aims to make daily laundry easier and more comfortable.

Reliable “Appliance Store Quality”

YAMADA Products are developed through rigorous quality checks to ensure long-term, reliable use. The company maintains a meticulous production system, prioritizing precision and care down to the smallest details to deliver superior products. In addition to purchase support, specialized staff handle delivery and installation. For added peace of mind, a 5-year warranty (3 years manufacturer’s warranty + 2 years Yamada warranty) is included, reflecting a commitment to quality from appliance professionals.

Product Features

1. Automatic Liquid Detergent and Softener Dispenser for Reduced Laundry Effort and Time

This feature eliminates the need to measure detergent for each wash and prevents overuse. It also simplifies laundry for those less familiar with household chores. The automatic dispenser tank is removable for easy cleaning, making maintenance and switching detergent brands straightforward.

2. Compact Size for Easy Placement and Use

Addressing concerns about the large size of drum-type washer-dryers, this model offers a compact footprint that fits neatly into standard waterproof pans (internal depth of 540mm or more). Despite its compact design, the wide opening ensures easy loading and unloading of clothes.

• Also compatible with direct drainage.

• A minimum of 600mm is required from the front inner edge of the waterproof pan to the back wall.

3. “Filter-less Drying” and “Large Capacity Drainage Filter” for Easier Maintenance

This model eliminates the need for frequent cleaning of a drying filter. Dust and lint are instead flushed into a large capacity drainage filter during dehydration by a “triple automatic cleaning function.” The large capacity filter reduces the frequency of cleaning, and it is easy to remove, significantly lightening the burden of daily maintenance.

4. “Silver Ions” for Clean Clothes and Washing Tub

During water intake, silver ions from the Ag+ unit dissolve to create antibacterial water. This antibacterial water is used for washing and rinsing, resulting in cleaner clothes and a hygienic washing tub.

5. Four Selectable Warm Water Washing Courses

In addition to regular temperature washing, users can choose from four different water temperatures based on clothing type and soil level. This allows for tailored washing, achieving higher satisfaction. The approximately 60℃ course is expected to provide a sanitizing effect.

6. Ten Washing Courses for Various Needs

1. Standard Course
2. Speed Course
3. Soak Course
4. Custom Course
5. Blanket Course
6. Delicate Course
7. Powerful Course
8. Indoor Drying Course
9. Night Course
10. Pollen Course

7. Low Noise Design for Peace of Mind

The low noise design allows for laundry to be done at any time without concern. This is beneficial for residents in apartments or condominiums, those who do laundry late at night (single-person or dual-income households), and families with infants.
