This busy working mummy highly recommends

I have two young messy boys and a tradie husband.... lets just say this is the best washing machine ever. My family have never had such clean clothing. It cleans so well!! It’s quiet, it has a variety of functions you can realise customise each load which I just love.

Religious problems with the touch screen

published

While owning this machine the touch screen display broke various times. I ended up receiving a replacement washing machine from Fisher & Paykel after two years of problems.
But the inconvenience of waiting for maintenance multiple times meant long nights at the laundromat and piles of unwashed clothing. I regret buying a touch screen now.

Waste of money

published

Dirt, Lint etc from clothing ends up in seals. Lint catcher doesn't "catch anything at all. It's also placed at the bottom, front, right hand side of machine. You are required to "unplug" a small hose to get to the filter. This hose, is very low to the floor. It pours water from it and there is no way of catching it except for using towels!
The machine has also started to make very loud spinning noises. It was very quiet at first but not any longer.
I had top loaders before this and will definitely be going back to them!

Quiet and sophistication in the perfect size

published

This washing machine is a dream. Just choose the right wash cycle and it washes the clothes perfectly. Even silks come out perfect with no tears or wear! The main dial and buttons are easy to use and looks good. The machine has a high energy and water efficiency rating, which is obvious when you see how little water is used during the cycle.

Pleased With This Washer

published

This is a our first Fisher and Paykel front loader. After many reliable years with their top loaders, we though we would use them for a front loader. Water efficiency was up the top of our list and this machine is very good in that dept. It does a super job of making the clothes feel very clean and spins up so fast that they barely need drying when done. We are hoping for a long life from this but so very, very good indeed.

Great machine

published

Cleans well and a quiet machine so can have on at night time without too much trouble. I wish I had of bought the one which you can stop and add items into For only about $60 more which would have Been so much easier in hindsight. But a good machine none the less

Machine stops on Spin Cycle and won't progress

published

The machine works really well until it decides to randomly stop on the spin cycle when it has from 3-8 mins left. I thought it was over loaded, so I open the machine and take items out but it seems to make no difference. I've stopped the machine and put it on the spin cycle and still it just turns left, then right but doesn't go into a full 1200 rpm spin. This is not a one off problem so it's very frustrating and a huge waste of my time!
Would love to know if anyone else experiences this problem?

Cleans well

published

The washing machine cleans well, is relatively quiet but only has a cold water hose meaning cycles that use hot water take a long time to complete as the unit itself has to head the water. . Has a handy quick cycle which only takes 30 minutes to complete, but doesn't allow for loads using very hot water > 70 degrees Celsius. Has a very short drainage hose.

Date PurchasedJan 2018

Very happy with this machine

published

Love this machine. It is extremely quiet, washes clothes beautifully and has a choice of many wash programs which I found a lot of other machines didn't have. Doesn't move either when on high spin. Price reasonable too and with 4 star water saving and 4½ start energy. No regrets.

published

I purchased a 7.5kg front load, even I used the same 7.5kg of other brand, but fisher & Paykel has smaller capacity than other, due to its deep dimension is smaller than others. The result is that I put same volume of clothes in into the machine, that machine get problem, it cannot adjust by itself, it keeps spinning more 30 minutes when it supposed 3 min left. No good.

Brand loyalty

published

After religiously buying LG washing machines for the last 8 years, we purchased the F&P quick smart front load in January 2018. Since then, I have been extremely pleased at the quality of wash, reduced water and electricity consumption and most importantly, how quiet this machine is. The purchase price was comparable to the same load size LG machine, but frankly I will only purchase Fisher & paykel front loaders mainly due to the reduced noise and efficiency.

Very Reliable Family Washer

published

We use this washer every day and it quietly does its job and never gives us any problems.
It's quiet and has huge load area. The biggest sheets and doona covers are no problem. You could put a doona in if you wanted to, not that I have tried.
Controls are super simple. This is the closest you can get to a "like the old days" product that is still made.
The metal is not as thick as the old style but the reliability and simple design are there. You can do delayed start which is good too if you want the washing finished when you get home.
No worries of any kind. A good reliable machine

Terrible piece of junk

published

Had this washing machine 2 years. It has been a pain. Sometimes won’t balance load and it can take 3 hours to do a load. Now it won’t spin. Piece of garbage. Won’t buy fisher and Paykel again. Certainly would not buy the next model. Will buy a competitors brand. Incredibly annoyed.

Excellent and good price

published

I have used this washing machine for a year as it was included in my rented apartment. When I moved interstate, I bought the exact same model because it was easy to use, effective, and was a good price compared to some other brands out there. It’s also energy efficient, and qualifies for the $200 energy rebate from QLD government. I would highly recommend this washing machine in this price range.

Great washing machine for its price

published

Bought this 3 weeks ago after having a LG for 15 years & had not owned a Fisher & Paykel product however so far I am extremely happy. The machine is quiet & the 30 minute quick wash is actually 30 minutes with choice of temp & spin speed. Clothes come out clean & fresh. The clothes do not feel as dry after the spin of 1200 compared to my LG spin of 1000 but that may only be on the quick wash as have not yet tried another wash cycle. The 30 min does what I need quickly & water efficently. Love the spin only cylce great for hand rinsing. Will definately recomend this
