Brilliant!

published

Have had this machine now for 4 weeks - am very impressed with the size load it takes, the end product (clothes always clean) and how quiet it is. No lint issues on dark clothes a huge bonus (after Simpsons disaster). Very happy with this purchase from the Good Guys.

RIDICULOUS - NO LINT FILTER

published

Washes well. Arrived broken - had to get warranty repair to lid lock as machine would not work from straight out of the box. No lint filter - supposed to be self cleaning. 16 months on - I have just had to pay $190 to get the lint cleaned from a blocked pump. Apparently the lint filters are sold as an extra part - how ridiculous - F&P - why don't you just put them in the machine - would save a lot of grief and unnecessary repair. Looks like I'm going to have to part with some more hard earned cash to prevent the problem happening again. Annoyed that the filter was not in the machine in the first place,

The best there is

published

We have used this machine for 5 years now at our caravan park and it really gets used constantly and has never ever given us any problems. Would buy again without a second thought.
Most reliable machine there is.
It has only one small fault. The agitator could be designed better as parts of the bottom fins can break off.

WashSmart WA8560G1 (8.5kg)

My WashSmart 8.5 top loader is not turning on.
It started when I decided to clean my washer. Turn off the machine, unscrew the agitator and clean the surface carefully. When finished, I switch on the power point and turn on the machine the usual way and did not turn on.
I followed the User guide for this problem but it is not working as well. Please any help? Thank you

Our F&P washing machine (WA8560G1) is now doing the same thing - now stops due to "out of balance" numerous times each load - I suspect the suspension rods may need replacing. Machine is not that old (out of warranty) and I would have thought the suspension rods should have lasted a little longer. With time off due to the current health crisis, I have some time to investigate and replace if necessary - replacement seems straight forward once new suspension rods are purchased.
