..thus sent back as considered, in my opinion, a design fault and based on principal was sent back; you spend a good deal of money and expect to install and away you go, but no, the drainage hose was too short to reach the sink right next to the front loader. I'm standing there scratching my head, "Like WTH.. I have to go out and buy an extension, get stuffed.." So, item was sent back and now looking at a different brand front loader that caters for a sink on either side, not just one side. Friend has one and recommended it and am confident it's a great product but... some idiot at Fisher & Paykel needs an upper cut. Anyway, thanks for reading but just a heads up!

Needed to install under bench and waste hose 600ml short to connect to sink spigot. No appropriate extension pipe with rubber grommet both ends. Contacted company by phone and email massive indifference. If you go to Harvey Norman and compare with other brands this product stands alone for such a short hose. It’s a product fault and they just don’t want to hear. Cost me money for plumber and to finally locate a fitting. Shocking service.

I moved from a top to front loader and never looked back. Although the machine takes a little longer than I expected, the quality of the wash and rinse is great! I enjoy the wrinkle free setting as well as the 15 minute quick wash - really handy for smaller loads.

I am so disappointed. This machine has so many good features, size of drum, quietness, good cycle options, does a good wash...so what went wrong? The machine is supposed to work on cold water only and heat the water if you want to select a temperature, I have now had 2 machines in 2 and a half months, both with same fault which is that it won't work on cold only unless you only ever want to do cold washes. F & P have zero customer care. They do not communicate, they have a so what attitude on the phone, you get no apologies, the service guy takes forever to get to you and they offer nothing to assist. I will never buy a F & P product again.

Recently upgraded my old Front Loader for a new F&P Front Loader absolutely love it
Wonderful on Water usage and power
Loads of options including my favourite(especially with children)the ADD A GARMENT OPTION
Washes clothing well from superquick cycle to longer depending on temperature cycle. Good family machine
SO QUIET and well priced I got mine on special so even happier with it.

This washing machine has proven to be reliable, thus far--we've only had it for 3 months, but we are impressed. A great size for 4 of us, great cleaning ability and whisper quiet. One of the few that allows you to break into the washing cycle to add something else. Looks great too!

Very good purchase. Our clothes are always clean and well rinsed; never had any problems. We were looking for a very quiet machine and we found it! You can use it any time and it is very easy and simple to set up. We usually use the quick wash (30 minutes).

Easy to unload -wife has arthritis
various spin cycles 500-1400 (1100 normally or500 for towels for softer feel) spins so well it feels dry
Various settings and times - quick wash - add wash -bacteria resistant door seal
The 3 sales people owned them also
slight wobble is normal... We are so impressed!!

I opted out for an extended warranty and of course the thing breaks down 2months after it expires. Previously had a simspon that was a cheaper quality and it lasted 23 years. I was expecting this kind of life span. a huge purchase cost and I am so disappointed. It stopped draining water and when I paid for someone to come and look at it he said don't worry about fixing it. just buy a new one. What???

Its very good washing machine,cleans well, does not harm clothes or tear them, has facility to add conditioner keeping freshness in the clothes, clothes come out nice and clean, and is very quite has a small musical alarm when finished washing, less space consuming in laundry, looks good. Good energy and water rating

Does the job very well, so quiet -- unbelievable. Add a garment function ---Love it . First time bought top loader - lot of water savings . As per manual machine reminds you to drum clean after every 100 washes but we never got one .no issue though still very happy with the product.

I love this washing machine! I've never had an issue with it. It has a great variety of settings and includes a drum clean option. It even has short 15 and 30 mins cycles for quick washes. It has a classy finish and is extremely easy to use. Wonderful value and very energy and water efficient.

Can any tell me Why is it coming up not tap on delayed start function when it work on evey other cycle thanks ? M m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m

My last Samsung that I had for a long time died on me so had to get a new one. Went to The Good Guys and the rep recommended this one, I'm so glad we listened to him. My son suffers from eczema and noticed the machine has an allergy setting, which we needed. It washes clothes perfect every time and when you need it done quick you can use the 30 min cycle. It works so quiet too wouldn't even know it was on if not in the same room. All in all..I love it, great machine.

Clean and rinse the clothes thoroughly.
Does not wear out the clothes.
It has many different washing options which I really like.
Super quite even when it is spinning.
Really love this washing machine, the best one I have so far.
It's not very cheap but definitely worth every cent of it.

Our old top loader died, so we swapped to this front loader. It's probably a really obvious thing, but we didn't think about how bent over you need to be when loading/unloading. That inconvenience aside, it's a good washer that seems very water efficient. A little bit noisy during the spin cycle, but overall we're happy with it.

New house, obviously had to have a washer and dryer ready.

Went with a pair of Fisher & Paykel, had a cash back offer at the time, so good value buying both.

Easy to install, and very easy to use. The panel on the front is very self-explanatory.

The different modes are useful, as my partner uses the washer for her delicate and sheets, and I use it for quick washes for work clothes and gym wear. No damage to clothing at this stage. The quick wash is gold for me, as I'm always in a rush.

Not too loud, but not quiet either. What I would expect from a washing machine.

I want to preface this review by saying I used to have the discontinued 7.5kg F&P Washsmart model so I have based my review on my previous experience. The machine has great features - a lot of different presets and I love the fact that it allows you to add in clothes that you have forgotten. However, I find the machine quite loud in comparison to the old model - I've made sure it's perfectly level and the delivery man even came out again to check that it was installed properly but the machine still makes quite a lot of noise. However, considering the machine does a great job with the clothes, it's a small price to pay.

One of the better washing machines that I have purchased. Cleans and rinse the clothes really well. There are plenty of settings to adjust to suit your liking. Typical run time for front loader. Does not wear-out your clothes as opposed to other top loader washing machines. Runs really quietly even with the laundry door opens. You could also add clothes in if you forget.

So far I have been using for about 4 washes and I have to say the washing machine is quite good.
Compared to my last washers (samsung) was quite slow for everyday washes.
For everyday wash will take minimum 56 minutes which is good.
On top of that the machine looks sleek and paired it with the heatpump F&P.
