Perfect wash everytime
Every day work clothes are now cleaner than ever before. The tumble action I wish i'd had many years ago.
Delicates are not damaged in this machine and being able to adjust the time of the wash is wonderful, save on power. The size is brilliant for doona covers and sheets and to wash a lot more.

Great washing machine with one not-so obvious problem
This is a great washing machine for washing sheets and clothes. It offers a range of washing cycles and temperatures for a range of needs. There is, however, one problem with the machine which I didn't uncover until after use: the washing machine drum is harsh and abrasive on towels. I have Sheridan towels and the ribbed drum tears at the towels leaving them coarse and rough. I contacted F&P regarding this issue and their customer support was poor, no solutions provided and the consultant said they had never heard of this issue. Now looking to replace this machine after 6 months.

Love love this machine
Love, love this machine Fisher & Paykel Washing Machine. I use this machine to wash lots of clothing from 2 messy little boys, myself & husband. Our sheets, towels on a daily. I love the different wash settings which can be selected upon what you are washing at that time & how quickly you need it washed. Its gentle on the garments which is an added bonus. It has actually made me love doing the washing again.
The machine is quiet, the clothes come out very dry & makes the drying process a lot quicker than other machines I have had in the past.
The price of the machine is excellent, not to expensive, definitely getting value for money.
I would recommend this washing machine for all the reasons above.

Water, energy and time efficient, lots of functions and super quiet
I recently bought this machine to replace a 6.5kg Simpson top loader that malfunctioned and caused a flood in my house. The situation was painful (having water damaged floors, dealing with home insurance inspectors, negotiating with extended warranty company staff, delivery delays...), but this machine has been one amazing silver lining!
The 8kg frontload WashSmart by F&P is fantastic. I've been using it 2-3 times a week to wash the usual culprits - clothing (office clothes, delicates, synthetics & sportswear, denim & cottons), sheets, towels ...Read more

Great Washer - Just love it
No doubt, this is a great machine. For several years past I have owned top loaders, but I am short in stature and find difficulty in reaching the bottom of the tubs. Decided to go for a front loader which also fits better into my tiny laundry. I was in awe looking at all the models at Harvey Norman and decided on the 8kg WH8060P2 which is a wash smart. I just loved the high speed spin drying - dried my clothes a treat and the auto water levels - saves a lot of guess work. A huge bonus is the fact that the clothes do not entangle. The d...Read more
ial pictures illuminate and I think it would be a good idea if the wording illuminated, better for sight impaired people. Not a game changer though, just have to wear specs. My laundry now looks uncluttered with the lovely design of this machine. Just love it and wish I could now afford the dryer as a companion.Purchased in March 2021 at Harvey Norman Appliances Physical Store for $799.00.

Always clean
Have never owned a front loader
Had no idea it saves you so much water and clothes come out super clean even with the quick cycle (30min)
It’s easy to operate and the machine tells you when it needs a drum clean. When this happens all you need to do is turn the dial to drum clean and the machine will do the rest!

Spin cycle never resolves, F&P don't care
I am so annoyed with this machine. It actually cleans really well, and has great cycle options. However, it has a major flaw. The spin cycle gets stuck at various intervals, but particularly on 8 minutes. It will not complete, or get to sufficient speed to drain the load. It can stay at 8 minutes for 20 minutes or more. My whole cycle can take 45 minutes or longer than the estimated time. Many times my 1hr10m cycle took 3 hours. My P1 model did it, so (after a long, tiring dispute) I got it replaced, and my P2 model is doing exactly the same th...Read more
ing! I was so disappointed with F&P service. The first time I complained they told me that if it didn't perform the fault when they came to visit, I'd be charged the full service fee (despite that I had photos and diary of cycle times). Then they told me that if it took longer than the displayed time, that is was an 'acceptable variance'. Yeah! After a full week of work, putting the washing on at 7am to hang it out and go out for the day, to wait until 10am. Not acceptable! When the technician came he told me my loads were either too heavy, or too light. Eventually he admitted and could see the problem, but made me feel very mistrusted in the process. Today, I have a generous half load, quite 'normal' and I'm sitting here waiting for my machine. Here's the SNEAKY part: the technician told me he would write a report saying the fault could not be repaired and send it to product care (as it was out of warranty). Weeks went by and I called product care, and they had not received the report. I called F&P who said, 'there's no report here and we'll have to send another technician to confirm the fault again, as too much time has lapsed, and you may have to pay for that visit'. I called product care again, and they offered to call F&P. And MAGICALLY, they found the report instantly and sent it through. I have no respect for those kind of tactics, and did not think F&P were that kind of company. Now I have the same problem with my new machcine, and get to waste all my time and energy dealing with F&P again!Purchased in August 2021.

I love my washing machine
My washing machine has a large variety of programs to choose from, suits just about any fabric, there is even a special cycle for your gym clothes and also it has a gentle cycle for baby clothes, and a program for your Donna. The fact that you can stop it during the cycle is a great boost.

Great washing machine. Love it. So easy to use and great result with cleaner clothes.
I bought this a month ago and I love it. Very easy to use with turn dial and easy to read functions. Everyday wash cycle just under 60 minutes and great spin speed. I had people to stay over Christmas so the machine got a good workout with loads of sheets, towels, adult and childrens clothing etc. Best machine I have had. Took my time choosing after reviewing through Choice magazine and not disappointed. Good value for money.

Exactly what we need
We had to replace our old (F&P) top loader within a day, so my starting point was to target a reasonably priced machine based on recommended models (by Choice, November 2018). Don't need more than an 8kg model with 3 people in the house.
We have always had top-loaders in the past but considered moving to a front-loader due to space efficiencies as well as water and energy savings. Went with this one based on price and ranking. The box fits easily into the back of an SUV (CX-5). Easy to unpack and set up.
So far very happy after a couple of loads, very simple and logical settings and very quiet - compared to the old one. Early days yet and hopefully there won't be any issues but happy to recommend so far.

Washing machine
I usually put dark clothes in the washing machine, I'm very satisfied with the product's controls and its performance when I apply different settings. This washing machine is very careful with my clothes in particular with delicates, I'm very very satisfied with the cycles time of the washing machine.

Can't clean the cloth
Very expensive machine but never done it's job, I have to shake every single cloth I washed to get rid of dust left over on clothes, even dirtier than before wash... I will have to buy a new one of other brand and sell this one. It has no water level option.

Terrible machine - appalling customer service
Terrible wash. School shirts and business shirts extremely crushed. No matter what spin cycle or function you use. Washes worse than a LG machine I had for 12 years. I am now having to replace clothes that are only 7 months old. Customer service is absolutely appalling. Spoken to 6 different officers and all kept saying the same things of never receiving service reports. I will never purchase a fisher and Paykel appliance ever again. Frustrated and disappointed customer.

excellent washing machine
Cleans clothes very well and they don't come out all tangled together. The functions are easy to use and you can even pause it if you forget a piece of clothing which is always useful. Really happy with this washing machine, nice settings and control display. It is really quiet when washing and rinsing more than expected.

Great machine
Love the drum wash option to keep the machine clean and fresh after washing my partners work gear (carpenter).
Great that it gives you the time remaining so you can plan your morning and the super quick wash is excellent when you’re in a hurry.
Best machine I’ve ever owned. Very happy customer!

Washing Machine
I love this frontloader its easy to use has heaps of wash cycles and that is great when you rely on tank water. I love the add item function. Also the drum cleaning function. I previously had another brand frontloader and this one washes much better than the older one.I love that you can do a supwr fast wash in 22mins

Awesome machine
Awesome machine that's quiet and cleans clothes very well. Love the handwash option along with the ability to add additional rinses to a cycle. I like the options available, makes it easy to make sure each load is handled exactly how it needs to be. It doesn't take long and clothes wash perfect . Has great energy and water saving efficiency. Would definitely recommend this washer .
It's lock system is not that good can be unlocked so easily, not a machine in little kids houses.

Faulty design - poor electronics
When it works this washing machine washes great. I'm now on my third service call and it's all the electronics which are failing. Please don't bother with F&P service as they aren't worried about helping you. Should have stuck with my ugly old Euromaid 8kg washing machine which didn't miss a beat.

How to remove the lower front kick plate
3 answers
You should only remove the cover for the filter, which is a small plate not the whole kickplate.
A coin or screw driver will help remove.
I need to remove the whole plate as the
drain rubber hose has slipped inside the the machine.

For some garments, I'd hand wash them and use the washer's spin cycle to dry it.
My son has a WH7560J2 washer. Ever since he bought it 3 years ago, the spin cycle doesn't work to dry hand-washed business shirts. He finds this extremely annoying.
I intend to get a WH8060P2 to replace an existing Fisher & Paykel top loader. Could any user tell if the spin cycle of the WH8060P2 can be used independently to spin dry washings?
Thank you.
