washes well, is mostly quiet in operation and though sceptical about full auto it does a good job in selecting fabrics, spin speed and wash action. Powder through the top is easy and never found anything undissolved. You can set how you like or just press start, now been running for 3 years including a move out of Sydney.

For the price it is a good machine. My mother wanted it because it had an agitator. She used to have an old washing machine and she had read up about how when it doesn't have an agitator it does not wash your clothes as good. She also needed a top loader as she cannot bend down.

This model was a good size. Not too big and when it is just her she can put it on the short cycle. It was simple to hook up and the controls are simple to use. It is average when it comes to noise. No noisier then mine that I have at home.

So far no complaints.

At least 10 times our machine has stopped. When it gets to a spin cycle we get a message on LCD power cut,turn power off & on says restart in 10 seconds than stops after 5seconds.The power point is fine all other appliances are working perfectly. Fisher & Paykel produces rubbish products, I am very disappointed.

I purchased this machine 8/2/13 on the 14/7/14 I had a technician come an replace the electronic device after having numerous problems now it is Not working again an warranty has expired... This machine is a lemon to say the least.. Im very angry! I only wash every fourth day as i am a family of 3 only. Technician is coming again at a cost of $135.00 to just look at it! This is a joke... Do not buy!

We had to replace our old, reliable but dying, top loading F & P machine and seriously didn't want to.We spent a fair bit of time reading reviews on washing machines before purchasing - a disheartening process. After considering front loaders with their long cycles and the non agitator top loading options (the ones we saw were poorly reviewed), we opted for this Fabric Smart machine. We are only 2 weeks into it, but It has run perfectly, is easy to use and we wash a load almost daily. In our view, the more features any machine has, the more potential problems there are. We only need the basic cycles and this machine suits us well. In addition, there has been no lint or smudges left on clothes. We are very happy with our decision.

for ten years no problems this one is a dud.Has anyone had a similar problem?

After ten years of enjoying this model we purchased a new one but only lasted three years . The new fisher and paykel we bought was not made in the same country as the last model . Very unhappy this one walked across the floor take 3/4 hours to wash too costly to fix .lint on the clothes after wash .
Not happy
