Dosent start cycles does nothing can't open door ... Top product

I love this machine so much, after coming from a 5kg Samsung top loader I have never been happier. It is so quiet (my best friend's sounds like a jet taking off and she is über jelly) and doesn't have an annoying 40 second jingle upon finish, then it turns off. It's spin reli wrings out the excess water, the drum hasn't started to get smelly at all. I love the different settings, the water efficiency, the minimal amount of product required to wash things and that they always come out so clean and smelling so nice. I haven't had any clothing wear out as a result of use yet and I've had it 18 months.

Love this machine!! Super quiet. Quick washes available that get a super good clean. That was the most surprising and exciting; how clean everything came out. Mines on cement floor so no clue what a couple others are talking about. If it's installed and leveled it's perfection. So very happy!

We've had this machine for around 12 months now and it hasn't missed a beat.
It washes clothes really well and is very quiet compared to our old top loader which means we can turn it on just before we go to bed and not be disturbed by the noise.
I love the quick wash option which only takes 30 minutes to do a full load of washing.
You can pre-select the speed that the spin cycle works on and can customize your wash temperature for each wash selection.
We needed a machine to fit into a small(ish) space and this one is nice and narrow on the outside, but can still take our king size doona.

So quiet, washes better than any other machine I've invested in, and no need for a dryer because the spin cycle is more than adequate.
excellent for washing in the wee small hours whilst the others are sleeping. With 3 guys in the house hold it does the job well.

On the plus side, I like the "beep" when its done function, has a good choice of basic programmes and it self balances reasonably well
On the down side you only get 1100rpm spin speed, have to go to the Washsmart model to get 1400rpm.
Gets used most days, takes 3 big bath towels OK, working well after 3months

We have only had it a short time but it is a great machine. Cleans clothes really well even on the 30 and 60 minute washes. Super quiet to the point we couldn't even hear it running (it must be levelled though). Hot and cold hoses. The clothes come out soft and near dry. It does add a few minutes to the wash sometimes but I don't see this as an issue as its doing what it needs to for a great wash. Good quality machine. Very happy.

We have been using water saving front end loader machine at our rental property for 4 years but found it too small and opted for a Laundromat. At last when we moved we bought this gem. We have never been so impressed with its efficiency and ease of operation. We processed three loads of 8.5 kg wash in one evening and this machine is a true marvel. It's quietness in operation and auto shut of on completion is an excellent feature. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a new washer.

I should have mentioned as part of first review that I use the quick wash 30 minute cycle or I should say anything from a 34 to 43 minute cycle!!! I wouldn't want to try a longer cycle based on this it could take all day to do one load!!! I can't get an answer from Fisher and Paykel as to why this happens - perhaps you purchased it so its your problem??$$?? - When I purchase my next machine which could be VERY soon based on my experience with the product so far I know I will definitely be crossing Fisher Paykel off my list for any products. Please find this helpful and try another brand - you wont regret it!!!

Just bought this machine after reading heaps of great reviews, got it home, installed it and looked at how great it looks. Carried out the test cycle, and as expected water filled super quietly, then once on spin. Screech, screech, screech. Will be on the phone to Goodguys tomorrow in hope for a refund or exchange :(

After all the drama's we have had with our lg washing machine.we had brought a product care plan from Harvey Norman they were great they said we can have a new washing machine.so we went down to Harvey Norman had a look around and put in some more money and got the fisher and paykel front loader.we have only had it a week but so far so good our clothes are really clean! Unlike the lg where we always had brown grit all over our clothes.

I really don't understand any bad reviews about this product. ITS GREAT!!! It is soooo quiet, doesn't make any noise apart from the water filling. My machine does at least two loads every single day, I hardly need to use any cycle apart from the 30 min quick wash. The clothes are always clean with NO FLUFF. It's great

I've only had it about 6 weeks, but so far I am loving this machine. My last machine was an Electrolux WSE7000SA and it wasn't fabulous, was extremely noisy and hard to stabilise. I hadn't owned it 5 years and had to replace it and I am really pleased with the replacement. It's a great size for my family, is much much quieter and has the optional, much shorter "every day" setting which I use ... every day! I would thoroughly recommend this machine so far and if it starts to fail, I will come back and report on it.

I read reviews on here and decided to buy it. Please note when the machine has no clothes in it and if u run a wash cycle, its going to be very quiet. The moment u add clothes and when it soins in last 6 minutes its just like a tractor. A lot of noise and shaking and vibrations. I have even called a fisher and paykel technician to come out and have a look. It is not bloody silent when spinning and makes a hell lot of noise. Please do not buy!

I love this washing machine, I've had it for a month. It's really quiet. The noisiest part is the water filling, and then the washing slopping around. I leave laundry door open when its on, and I forget its on.
It has a big door, and fits a lot on it.
Its simple to use. The one hour wash is great. The washing is coming out very clean.
I'm very happy with it :)

This is the first review have ever bothered to do - I read up on this site before purchasing thus really wanted to help others... Really clean clothes, smooth and quite operation (and on wooden floor)! I am really happy to do washing in this machine my last machine also F&P ran for over 15 years with no repair which is why I went F&P again and this model has a engine guarantee for 10 years... the front loader saves on both water and power too which is a great investment! We are a family of five and the 8.5 kg size is also magic no more doing 2 loads a day! Thank you Fisher & Paykel, love your work!

I purchased this machine because it has the ability to do a quick wash (30minutes), it also does a rinse cycle (25minutes) which comes in very handy when you have an infant at home. I have used both cycles before and not really paid attention to the time but always thought it was longer than was stated on the machine. Last night I urgently needed to wash some new items before I could put my baby to bed. I used the rinse cycle which stated '25 minutes' 45minutes later it finished. I stood and watch the 8 minutes remaining on the machine for over 6 minutes before it counted down to 7 minutes. I have since used the 30 minute cycle which also takes more than 30 minutes. Do not trust the cycle times.
