Best Fisher & Paykel Top Loading Washing Machines

Bad experience with Fisher and Paykel – Popular brand however annoying crap in playing up two years time with their stupid codes that constantly beeping non stop. Never this brand again, got LG better !

Ok so when washing if your doing let’s say rags the machine my not register that it has rags in it so it may fill up once again like a if you started a new load or it may try to push it out all to gether Show details

I agree with ALL of the comments that I've read. In my case the agitator has broken fins after 2.5 years, and the machine occasionally makes a… Read more

grinding noise at start up. I also purchased an extended warrantee from Harvey Norman which I have found very difficult to navigate and also have not had any satisfaction in my attempts to make a claim. There are 2 of us in our household and we wash clothing bedding towels etc. Since the fins are broken the wash in not effective at all, even needing to wash 2 times.

I have purchased a few top loading Fisher and Paykel washing machine previously. I have always loved them. My favourite features were that they never… Read more

had a lint filter. All the lint would go down the plug hole. My other favourite feature used to be that they had a superior spin rate which reduced drying time considerably. These two features are no longer in the new Fisher and Paykel top loading models. This is extremely disappointing. Having to clean out lint filters add more time to the task and it’s difficult if you’ve got old arthritic fingers. I also live in an extremely cold area and getting laundry dry hard at the best of times especially now that the machines don’t spin the clothes as dry as they used to. Really disappointing Wish they would go back to the old models

We bought another Fisher & Paykel top loading washing machine because we liked our old one which lasted 16 years. I like the size of this new 10kg… Read more

machine and the fact that it still has a pause button so you can pause the cycle to unlock the lid to add more clothes or check the water level etc! I also like that you can manually override the default water temperature and spin speed and can save your favourite preferences for each cycle. What I do not like is that the automatic water level uses too little water so that your clothes don't wash well if quite dirty and with so little water the drag and pull on the clothes is much rougher than if you use more water. I guess they choose to use so little water to bring up their star rating!!! Well I want to wash our clothes properly so I will manually choose the water level..... so glad you can do that... But, there are no markings inside this low agitator machine to use as a guide as to which manual water level to choose!!! They had water level indicator marks on the agitator in my old machine! I'll just have to work out the appropriate manual water levels by trial & error! So many friends have told me that their washing machine doesn't was dirty clothes very well or wash the soap off very well and it is because these modern top loading washing machines are using too little water on their auto settings!

I timed the large wash I did yesterday - 3 hours 20 minutes! The quicker loads are only for small loads - 2 - 4 kg. Starting a wash early in order… Read more

to get maximum sun on it in winter will be a problem because early, the sun isn't on the solar panels. And there will be no two washes in a day, (if I want to dry my clothing on the line,) which I could happily do in my old washer which took 40 minutes. Why technology has to go backwards, I'll never know. To justify the massive price? Strangely enough, it has a 4 star water and electricity rating. How that can be, I don't know, when it goes for so long, emptying and filling about 4 or 5 times from what I noticed. I've done small loads which still took well over an hour and used the sheets setting - it washed everything well. It's quiet. One thing to think of if buying a new washer - this top loader is very high and very deep. I'm 5'4.5" and can barely get things out of the bottom of it - so consider that if you're a shortie.
