Best Fisher & Paykel Dishwashers

Our second dual drawer just died at 5 years and 1 month old, it keeps tripping out the circuit breaker, I would have expected to get at least 10… Read more

years out of a dishwasher. We favoured fisher and Paykel products as we hold their shares and we are New Zealanders but we won’t be buying another, they’re too unreliable

I bought this about three years ago for my single person household and it hasn't missed a beat. Pros: Fits most dishes, including large dinner… Read more

plates and medium sized pots and pans. Cleans well, even when mixing e.g. glasses with saucepans, although I do use the heavy setting most times. Flexible enough internal configuration, and not too fussy about stacking methods - things get clean even when not stacked perfectly. Mine's set just under the counter, and it's easy to stack without bending down to far. I scrape off left over food, but don't pre-rinse my dishes. No clogs yet. Fairly quiet to run. Cons: be careful when stacking that nothing pokes down beneath the stacking rack, as it's easy to block the spinning spray arms that way. That means watching where you put e.g. Tupperware lids, as they can move during washing. The soap tablet dispenser has been shaped to only take proprietary tablets and won't fit any others. You can put any tablet or pod in the cutlery basket instead though. Takes a long time to wash on the heavy setting, but that's the nature of it: with dishwashers you can either save water, or save time, but not both. F&P opted for water efficiency.

Shortly after the warranty expired problems began. Flimsy plastic parts of the racks broke, the rinse aid indicator fell out and the rinse aid… Read more

function stopped working totally. The machine began to give error codes as the impeller refused to stay on the shaft until I drilled a small hole through it and permanently glued it with a loctite product. Over time the machine began to be extremely noisy and eventually the pump failed totally. I would not recommend the product at all. Customer service simply did not want to know about it.

The machine was faulty from day one. The touch pad was A real TROUBLE. Buttons were not functioning. Customer service is extremely hard to get in… Read more

touch with. The website is pushing you to select a date and a time FORCED on you. Very inflexible. Three( 3) service guys came and each time they found it hard to recognize the problem. First one replaced the Touchpad on his second visit. Still was a failure. Second guy re adjusted. Third guy said it had not been set up/ programmed right. Now it is ok. But if your body touches the Touchpad by accident it gets activated. ( it is under the island bench and kitchen sink) Now l switch it off from the wall outlet each time I will NEVER touch anything FISHER AND PAYCLE.

After 11 years we finally unalived our F&P dual dishwasher. This is the 2nd time we've had the F&P dual draw and just love them, our first one had… Read more

to stay in the house when we sold it so we went straight out at got another one in 2014. It got a lot of us, i mean a LOT over the years and served us well. So naturally we bought our 3rd one to replace it. Super quiet, in fact so quiet i didn't know it was washing at first, nice new features with the light up button, i do like it being on the outside so i can see what's going on without opening the draw, we are very happy.

I loved this dishwasher when it worked. For 8 months I would have encouraged everyone to buy this machine, it washed beautifully (I do not prewash),… Read more

dried wonderfully (if you have the rinse aid in). Lovely features like the door automatically opening to assist drying and the delay. It can be connected which I never did but a nice feature. the adjustability of the wash settings and the ease of use are incredible. It fits so much, and the baskets are great, the adjustability of shelf heights and the ability to lay down the supports fitting EVERYTHING was so easy. Its reasonably quiet. For the price of the machine it has a lot of features. Unfortunately, we are not in a serviceable area so when it started faulting it could not be repaired and it will be refunded, and we will need to replace it, after waiting months to get the original machine I won't wait again. I am sad to see it go as I love this machine for the price I just wish it lasted longer. That said I live in NT with very hard water.

Worked fine for 12 months then the display panel broke. The approved repairer came out and didn’t have all the parts. So now need to wait as they… Read more

order more parts to fix my appliance. I usually get F and P- really disappointing and I will think twice again about getting anything else from them. Trying to get onto someone from the company, is really hard also.

Awful product – Dishwasher arrived with dented front door, coincidentally my neighbour brought the same one and theirs arrived with exactly the same dents. It took… Read more

months for them to come and replace the doors. Then the bottom drawer won't drain, they have now come twice first time tried to say I had caused it by not rinsing my dishes properly, yet I has only used it twice! Still not fixed as say they are ordering another part. The dishes are wet despite being on heavy and extra dry, they said to wash on heavy to get it hot enough to dry. This is much worse than my old drawers that I had for 11 years and replaced when I renovated my kitchen. Wish I had read these reviews prior to upgrading. :(
