Still apply the old-fashioned way of sorting clothes into darks and whites.
This machine in particular is good in that the favourite option is automatic. This means that the water fills in such a way that you are not over using water by the amount of water you require. The machine fills just enough to thoroughly wash and rinse the clothes. This then also reduces the cycle times of your wash..
Having mentioned this, you also have the option to use the different cycles. For example choosing the delicate option, it really is a more gentle wash.
I like the size of this machine because it is big enough to wash your bigger items like bedspreads, blankets etc.

I have been using my washing machine for over a year now, and I absolutely love it.

My previous washing machine was a noisy beast; this one is so quiet that I often forget it's on. It just gives a few beeps when it is done and that is pretty much it.

The 6kg size is perfect for our family of 3; it handles everything from delicates to soiled clothes. It's super straight forward to use and finishes the cycles quickly. I'd researched my options before purchasing and had seen a lot of good reviews for this machine. I feel it has definitely lived up to that feedback - it's been used at least once a day for a good 15 months without any issues whatsoever.

I love this. I have had previous issues with machines quickly showing mold regardless of of airing them and cleaning them as per the instructions. I have had no such problems with this machine. I love how quiet it is when washing and how it doesn't crease my clothes as much as other machines

Not very happy as we chucked in some small pillows in cases and they split right open even on delicate wash! We also after this had water leaking from somewhere in the back. As its in warranty were just waiting for someone to pick it up and have gotten it swapped for a different model but by the same make

It is a quiet machine and it clean well.The clothes does not tangle after washing and the spin cycle take out most of the water.
A good feature is it tells you how long it will before the washing ends.
And the price on the machine was reasonable.
Cannot coplain.

I love this washing machine and would never go with another brand again. It does tend to go off balance with a heavy load but every machine I've had does that. I did need the extended warranty but the service guy came out so quickly and fixed it with ease. No problems since

Good washing machine for an apartment for 2 users. It does have the lint problem but that 's common for all F&P machines. Found out the hard way that softener does not go well with the eco cycle as my clothes still came out with softener. Panel functions were flexible enough. I did find it pricey for a small machine but I guess I'm paying for the brand.

Washes the clothes well even in cold water. Almost drip dry when I remove the clothes. A real workhorse machine that can handle the capacity. You have to realize the direct drive motor in this machine and no need to run a gearbox is what makes Fisher & Paykel great.

I love this machine! Has been amazing from day one. My partner is a farmer so constantly washing muddy, greasy, dirty clothes and coming out clean every time. Can be a bit on the louder side but we have a
Large laundry that can echo. Love that you can pause for it to start in so many hours. Love it’s

This machine is a quiet machine that doesn’t make much noise, appears to not move around a lot. Does not wear out clothes, favourite thing about the machine is that the washing powder spreads through the machine and doesn’t stick to clothing and leave powder marks. The water ratio is not the best

Six weeks, and does the job.
I purchased the extended warranty as I have an existing electronic control board memory.
It is quick and quiet.
I bought it, (in a hurry), after using this site to decide what machine to purchase. My old trusty F&P started leaking around water pump, (couldn't be bothered fixing it).
I have read some reviews about water splashing up on the high water setting. I checked this by opening up the lid and sticking my head in while the machine is washing. I saw a few little drops onto the angled side. I solved this by pulling my head out and closing the lid.
I live in NZ. I ordered online. When it was in store, (three days, man), I picked it up.
One year on, still good, still the same. No problems at all.

This wasn't what i expected, when i washed the childrens play clothes. They came out clean & fresh no messy residue .Which ive had issues with other brands. Hard working machine well worth it's weight in washing power! The machine wasnt to loud which is a issue for me as laundry room near children's bedroom. Can rely on Fisher &Paykel!

This machine is very easy to install being a light model.The cleaning phases are easy to manouvre as you run through your particular wash cycle.The final result finishes with the cloths being nicely cleaned and thre rinse cycle also does a nice job extracting the water.Our machine is whisper quite,although it is situated in a closed off laundry.The Eco Rinse and wool cycles would be my favourite features.

My mum had a 6kg washer that broke down after 15 years. SO I bought her this replacement. When it arrived, the drum looked half the size of her old one. It gets good reviews, but it is way to small to wash enough stuff, so we ended up changing it. This is not for someone who washes their sheets and towels frequently

Only purchased my fisher and Parker machine 3 weeks ago and have found it to be super quite even during the spin cycle. Have found that my washing is coming out cleaner and removes more stains. The rinse cycle is perfect, doesn't tangle clothes around the agitatior. The settings are easy to use and easy to understand. Cycles are short with the option to increase the washing time.

We replaced our 15 year old 10kg Fisher & Paykel after we gave it to someone that had several kids. The 6kg model is more suitable in size for our needs now and is just a easy to use as its functions are the same, and since it has similar workings so we expect it will last as well.

Plus
It washes well
Is economic with water
It is hard to unbalance loads

Minus
It noiser than many front loaders - but it's so much faster.
Note: we reset the spin rate down from 1000rpm to 750 as we've found that is more than enough and is quiter too.

Well made reliable and a good size for average sized laundry areas. Since getting around 12 years of use from the previous F and P machine I decided to upsize to this model.
The auto everything function does a great job of washing clothes and has options for delicates reducing the speed of the impeller blades so as not to damage clothing articles.
Heavy duty mode seems to work very well with the appropriate quality powder and additives to remove grease/oil stains from my overalls.
Very happy with this model and easy to set up level with adjustable feet for flooring uneveness.
A great product you will be satisfied with for many years.

This is a great washing machine but it does leave residue on black items in particular.
The machine is very very quiet.
I like the 'fuzzy' feature where is determains how much water is needed.
I also love the fact that it has no turntable in the machine so makes it easy to wash doonas and blankets

Washes everything very well & so easy to use! I would recommend this washing machine to anyone & have done so since we bought it - can be a bit noisy in the last spin cycle but that's ok. I used to use Simpson washing machines but I'm an F & P convert
