ENDURANCE ON QUALITY AND QUANTITY!

published

Cleaning & Rinsing 5/5, Water & Time Efficiency 5/5, A quiet machine you can use day or night! Best features Lid Lock, Economy Option and a pleasant beeper indicating lid is open and it needs to be closed to operate (excellent safety) also indicates end of cycle! Options for washing anything from silks to work wear it’s been that great that I have often advised friends to get the same and the ones that did bought me a thank you gift!

Can't compalin

published

Almost 3 years since my purchase and the machine hasn't missed a beat. Although have to be careful as sometimes the axle gets trapped with the cloths and starts making loud noise. So, I simply pause the machine and untangle the cloths for the washing cycle to continue. So, this has been a great workhorse for us so far.

Good machine for two person household

published

Have owned this machine for 9 months. Great size for a two person household. Cleans clothes well - although there is some lint behind in the machine and on clothes occasionally. Cycle is very quick - like the eco friendly wash option and the ability to do a cold water wash.

average washing machine

published

I find the washing machine very loud and it will go off balance very quickly if the washing is not put in machine evenly and then will start to jump all over the floor if you do not turn it off and then repack the machine. For all that it cleans and does rinse cloths very well. Not a family washing machine and suited well for pensioner couple.

Fast efficient and does the job

published

Cleans and rinses clothes and towels well fits 5bath towels
No damage to clothes only have to hang my shirts and they don’t need ironing
Sound is a bit high on fast spin but it’s only for a minute or so
Water softener can be added easy
It’s value for money and ease of use

Great durable washing machine

published

I previously had a similar machine which I had for about 10 years without any issues until the control board went. I bought a similar one again and am very happy with it. It cleans clothes really well and seems to be very gently on them. I like that you can easily choose which cycles to run as I like to hand wash some clothes then just rinse and spin it out. There is a short and long full cycle too and doesn't take too long.

planned obsolescence or piece of junk

published

Due to laundry space constrain, I only can buy Fisher & Paykel washing machine despite knowing that the life of the product will barely exceed more than 2 years without any major problem (Electronic failing, parts to replace). The latest, 2 board failure in 18 months. An advice, purchase an extended warranty or choose another brand!!

Long lasting goodness

published

Perfect machine for a couple of guys, has lasted well, over four years and has not played up. Its quiet, it washes clothes well on green laundary liquid, it spins well and you can turn the spin down for bulky items. I thought i had killed it the other day washing three floor mats but it recovered when i took em out and flushed the machine.

Real good !!

published

Favourite feature is if it gets out of balance from heavy bulky items it stops preventing it from belting itself all around the laundry smashing into the freezers. does an EXCELLENT job on very filthy work clothes (cow manure, grease) wonderful on delicate clothes, cant fault it, had this machine for a yr now, it gets used 4 to 6 times a week & it washes quickly. Cheers Pete @ Tapua Labradors.

Rubbish

published

We foolishly bought this rubbish about four years ago. Ok, it hasn't actually broken down - I wish it would. Then I could pick it up and smash it into tiny pieces.
It kind of washes the clothes but the worst bit is that it infuriates in the process. The agitator protrudes too much in the wrong places, catching on large items. It then won't spin, preferring to dance around the laundry.
If you want your washing machine to induce homicidal apoplexy, buy this. Otherwise, spend the dollars on something decent.

Perfect size for a small family or couples

published

We love our new washer and would recommend it to a small family or couples. If you are washing for more than 3 people, could be too small for you. We like that is is very quiet and economical on water and energy. I can hardly hear it in comparison to my previous machine I felt like " the plane is about to take off" when it was spinning. It is also good value for money.

Love it

published

Cleans very well with little noise.

Does not wear out clothes.

Very quiet. Installation was easy as.

Very happy with the purchase as the overall size is small for its capacity.

Felt it was a good middle to low range priced machine and backed by a very reputable brand in Fisher and Paykel.

Very Good Economic Mashine

published

Very happy with this middle of the range priced washing machine. Cleans well and is economically on both power & water. Another member of my family has just bought one after using mine for a few weeks. Have had no problems with it at all. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced machine.

Excellent - Purchased for my mum

published

I purchased this washing machine for my mum who was only used to the hand dial manual operation of a top loader washing machine. The people from the Good Guys installed it and removed my mum's old machine. This machine was easy to use as I could not assist my mum as I live in a different state and she found it easy to use and for someone who doesn't even have an ATM card or a mobile she could operate it and I found that was amazing. She loves her machine and said it even beeps when it is finished. Oh the small things.

Very functional washing machine

Great washing machine. Small but powerful. I was looking for an affordable and functional top loader washing machine for my small apartment. It ticks all boxes for me. It works very quick and washes well and clean. It is very easy to use and quiet when it is in use.

Very simple and easy to use

published

No arbitrary nobs or dials or calligraphy styled icons to decipher here. Just straight up simple design that can start a load in a handful of button presses in seconds.
Had variation of these models for years now, never had issues.
This smaller model suits my needs fine, if I were ever to upgrade or need another to accommodate more people then I'd likely just get a larger version within the same model.

Excellent small machine

published

Cleans clothes very well there are so many wash cycles to choose from it is so basic to use. Due to having a small agitator, clothes don't get tangled and worn out, holds a fair bit of a load. Love that it is quiet and I love that it plays music at the end to signal end of load.

This is a must buy!

published

Different options for type of wash and how much water you want to use. Reliable and safe to use for any and all clothing you may have. Will do a full load in just over an hour, but worth the wait, with your clothes coming out clean and not dripping wet
