It just works

published

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.

Strong smart loader.

published

Plenty of options to choose from when washing. Have put in large loads consistently and seems to do a pretty good job. I have used Fisher front loaders but prefer the top loader edition seems to get the job and stir the suds around more effectively. Can be too aggressive

Good product

published

This washing machine cleans and washes clothes great. It doesn't wear out the clothes and it is quiet once the door is close. The only thing I dislike is that it auto drains the water unless you put it on pause. In an older previous model the washing machine could be switched off and soaked the clothes. With this model if you turn it off it will auto drain which is frustrating and a feature you can't turn off. It has been a while since I bought a washing machine and I wish I had known that auto drain was a thing. Other than that the machine is great and I have had no issues. It is very simple to use!

Bought for my mother

published

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.

Hmmmm....too early to call!!!

published

Replaced our 10 year dud Simpson with this one but it's too early to judge the performance. My other half is not enterly convinced yet! She chose this one because it had an agitator so am staying right out of it!! However, it's not as versatile as stated on the brochure! On the hindsight maybe the basic model would have been a better choice.

Love washing with my new miracle machine

published

I am happy with my new washing machine that I have purchased for a growing family of 4. I can fit lots and lots of clothing in this 8.5 kg. I previously owned a 5 kg washer. It makes a big difference and I would recommend it for growing family needs. Good length of cycle and clothes come out clean and less creased. It is not that noisy when spinning.

It makes my life easy. I like it!

published

I like a washing machine with an agitator compared to the one without. I set and forget this model so I really like it.I don't have to keep changing the settings. It has a timer so I know when the wash is going to finish. It has a pause button in case you need to add more clothes.The only thing I don't like is, it doesn't collect the lint or it doesn't have a lint bag so sometimes the lint are left on the clothes specially the blacks. Overall, I am very happy with it coz it makes my life easy.

Not the best.

published

Cleans clothes fine but we have had to have it serviced twice.
The agitator wings broke off through normal wear and tear. Had to replace that.
The computer died, had to replace that.
Otherwise, it's a washing machine, it does what a washing machine should do.
If I could go back, I would buy a machine without an agitator.

Cleans like a dream

published

After our Hoover decided to die after 18 years I decided to go for something a little more intelligent. The Fisher & Paykel 10kg washing machine is an absolute beauty! a major upgrade from my previous washer. It cleans clothes perfectly and is easy to use with all its pre selected modes. It's great on water efficiency and runs fairly quietly compared to my previous machine. I love the feature of the washing detergent being circulated when the machine is filling up.

Love my new washer!

published

I was on holidays and stayed in a serviced apartment which had this washing machine. I was very impressed with all the features, like the length of the cycle, how quiet it is when washing and the quality of the washed load. When I came back to Sydney I started looking for the same product & found one in the 2nds World. I am very happy with my new washer!

Not as impressed as I was hoping to be.

published

I was a bit unsure about this machine as I'd read a few reviews that said it wasn't very good at filtering the lint out, but I'd also read a lot of good reviews. I'm mostly happy with it as it does a good job of washing the clothes, however I do sometimes have a problem with lint, especially on the towels.

That being said, the 10kg capacity is absolutely fantastic! I can fit twice as much washing in as I could in my old Ariston 8kg front loader, and it washes them quicker too.

I'm overall fairly happy with it, but the lint issue can get a tad annoying.

Good wash and quite machine

published

Wash options meet our needs and the whole wash cycle is very quite. The only issue is that all liquid or powder soap has no soap dispenser within the top of the cover as earlier models had. You can certainly load this up with queen bed linen plus other whites an accepts the load with ease. Prefer to nominate the water level and not the auto water level.

Best Machine Ever!!

published

Got rid of the over $1000 Panasonic front loader always chewing up my clothes. After extensive research I went with this machine. Best choice I ever made. I am so happy with this machine, it cleans clothes really well and the agitator is not too big so it doesn't tangle clothes. The only thing is there was a fair bit of lint on the clothes, it's suppose to be a no filter machine that washes away lint. I called Fisher and Paykal and they sent me out a filter. I will give it 5 stars for quality of machine and service. ★♥¨*:•.THANK YOU.•:*¨¨*♥
