Does the job
It cleans & rinses well. Considering the spin cycle is something like 1400rpm the machine is reasonably quite with little vibration (unlike our last LG).
We were tossing up between this & a Miele, but given the substantial price difference believe we made the right choice.
Plenty of features & different settings available.

ok could be better
Recently brought this as the reviews were great!
We don't love it, its just ok. Only ever had a top loader before this however we needed more space hence buying a front loader.
Clothes aren't as clean as I would expect from a new washing machine
Cycles are an hour plus and even then the timer seems to take longer than an actual clock
My bra's and delicates even when using a wash bag aren't treated carefully
On the plus side I love the add garment feature as this is very handy and the clothes come out very spun which saves drying time

Great replacement for our old Fisher and paykel
Quieter, carries a bigger load and a good spread of functions compared to our older machine. We traded up, not because our machine was not working, but before it started to not work. It lasted well for around 7 years. This machine is quieter and seems better overall in the area of programs and cleaning. It allows for additional clothing and just seemed to have a better reliability reputation than other brands.

Excellent product.
After nearly ten years of hell with three different Whirlpool front load washers I couldn't wait to switch to a different brand. Figuring that we'd had no complaints with any of our F & P appliances over the years that's what we chose. It's now been over six months and I honestly have no complaints.
Sometimes it takes longer than the timer suggests but that's not an issue for me, it washes really well and has a lot of cycles and options to choose from. Even the fifteen minute wash does a great job on the clothes.

h cycles are a lifesaver because who has time to hand wash these days, and it spins everything nice and almost dry. Big capacity is important for our big family as I wash almost daily. It's neither loud nor super quiet, if the door to the laundry is open there are some stages of the cycle you can hear from a couple of rooms away but, again, it's not an issue. Overall very happy with this machine, especially considering that with the Whirlpool I bought back in 2009 it had already been replaced by this stage for being a lemon.Similar opinion?

Functions perfectly
We have had this machine for 6 months now and are most impressed. The short cycle is just under and hour and it washes clothes and bedding very well. We have never had to use longer cycles to date. The machine is very quiet to boot. We can barely hear it. So, far this appliance has been faultless. The controls are well set out and easy to use. It even has a tub clean cycle which is very useful. Most impressed. This machine was also priced very competitvely.

Questions & Answers
Lindaasked
What is the difference between the front load fabric smart and wash smart machines?
2 answers
It appears that the difference is simply a bit less water used in the cycles. Personally, if I need to be sure of full rinsing, and I've maximised on the quantity of items for the cycle, or it's for items worn next the skin, I do an extra rinse - which can defeat the objective of saving water. Also to be aware of - don't overdo the quantity of detergent; more does not necessarily mean a better wash, and it will always be a problem for rinsing properly. Front loaders need less anyway. The F&P we have is definitely the best machine we've ever had.
Thank you Kate.

When switching the power button on, the Go/Pause light flashes white, the keylock sign flashes red, the timer shows 2.22 hours to go, & the large mode selection knob turns but does not activate anything. Any suggestions?
2 answers
Sorry I don't have an answer but if the appliance is within warranty I would definitely call fisher and paykel and alert them to the issue- the machine might be faulty.
hold the keylock till it goes out/ stops flashing (3 - 6 seconds) - your control panel is locked so children cannot play with it.
