Lint left, unbalanced continually, and some clothes and sheets need rewashing after washing. I don't ever have dirty items, but many come out dirty after washing. Its aqua smart meaning frugal with water, but you actually need water to wash clothes. While frugal with water the cycle takes over an hour so expensive on power. Read the reviews carefully because it appears some are very questionable in their endorsing such a woeful washing machine that should have been recalled. After staying in Timeshares throughout the world using hundreds of washing machines over the years, this machine is the worst I have ever encountered.

Does not wash blacks well, leaves a residue of powder or lint? Have tried cleaning machine several times and changing to liquid but still can't get a good wash on darks.

Trying to wash 4 towels. 4. Towels.

I've reset it about 20 times now due to unbalancing. 4 towels. Absolutely ridiculous.

Machine leaks, unbalances, leaves lint on clothes, basically what all other complaints are about.

This thing is actually struggling to wash 4 towels. 1 bath towel and 3 hand towels to be exact. What a joke.

It leaves marks and lint on clothes. They come out dirtier than they went it! Shocking machine! I will never buy another Fisher and Paykel again. It is criminal that this company sell such a dodgy mavpchine and we should all get refunds. It unbalances most washes and beeps at you and takes a long time to go thru a cycle. Terrible!!

Re my review of Worst Washing Machine Ever. I contacted Fisher & Paykel and they were very helpful as to how to try & resolve my problem over the phone. I decided to get a technician to look at it. He arrived on time and fixed my machine promptly. I must say it is running perfectly with new balancing struts. All up cost with labour $230. The service was excellent and I'm happy I don't have to go out and buy a new machine.

Like the majority of people on these reviews I hate it. Can't wait until it breaks down so I can get a new washing machine. Biggest problem is white powdery marks on dark clothes and sludgy brown marks on white clothes. Gets unbalanced with towels and sheets. Some cycles take way too long

I am having problems with every wash when it comes to the spin cycle it becomes unbalanced and constantly bleeps. Even on the 'clean me' cycle without a load it will do the same. I have checked the suspension and it all looks ok, the machine is perfectly level too. When it is on the spin it makes large bangs, especially when on the 'clean me' cycle, and will actually move across the floor!! Why is it doing this and how do I fix it? I have had the machine for 7 years and there was no problem until about 6 months ago.

This was the worst washing machine I have ever had. I too had the soap scum and tangled clothes, but it was the constant 'out of balance' behavior that finally drove me insane! Have just been out and bought myself a new appliance and would like to push the F&P under a bus. I will never recommend this brand to anyone.

My first appliance purchase as an independent male. I thought the poor results were a result of my domestic ineptitude. Followed the instructions to the letter, blamed the liquid detergent, stopped the water efficiency....all to no avail. I know lemon is common in many cleaning products but this lemon doesn't clean anything. F&P, never again.

Have followed your instructions. Fingers crossed it works as I have also experienced scum constantly on my clothes, too long cycles and creased washing. Not a machine I will be recommending.

No matter what I do the clothes come out with some white film on them. I use the correct washing liquid, keep dark stuff together (which is mainly where this happens)....It is SO annoying....everything has to be wiped over with a damp rag. Can not wait for it to blow up so I can get a new machine!!!!!

Easy to use; many cycle options, clothes still came out clean... One problem we did have was sometimes water would leak from the filler nozzle if the taps weren't turned off right after the load was finished, dripping onto clothes and virtually saturating them, requiring a re-spin. Very stylish, and had a self-cleaning mode.
Stylish, easy to use, self-cleaning mode
Occasional water leaks, mechanically there are better Fisher & Paykel washing machines on the market.

i thought buying a f&p machine i was investing in a long term asset - turns out long term to f&p is 5 years (compared to 10+ that simpson did at my parents place). what a waste of money. f&p brand is going down the drain, wont be supporting it any more. Uncontrollable beeping when load goes out of balance and takes about 4 hours to wash one load. doesnt spin dry clothes and leaves marks where there were no marks!
