Price does not equate with the quality or performance – I bought a washing from Fisher & Paykel in 2018 & it broke down 6 years later. The price gor this front loader was close to $900. When contact F&P… Read more
for repair they charge $150 for dropping by. The circuit board was found to be defective & they quote almost $400 for a replacement. I found F&P product quality has deterioraded & the price for their products & parts are way too high for poorer quality product. I could just buy a new European brand for less $700 instead of doing the repair.

laundry liquid/powder dispense drawer, there is an option to fill one of the compartments for multiple washes ie no need to fill the drawer for every load. Everything is cleaned & spun really well.

Buyer be aware Fisher & Paykel they do not stand by the warranty for a brand new machine barely used (3 times) and will try shift blame to you to… Read more
avoid claims!
Brand-new washing machine after only three washes, it began leaking from the front door due to a faulty rubber seal. No errors. No misuse. I have two witnesses. Fisher & Paykel refusing to honour the warranty, instead are trting to shift the blame onto me creating hypothetical scenarios with no legal basis or supporting evidence.. The repair is not costly, but they'd rather liability avoidance rather than standing behind their product!. Also their AI-generated response is appalling!! They should invest in their product instead!
A near-new appliance failing after three uses is not acceptable!. Consumers deserve better! Disgusting treatment! This is unacceptable. If i could rate zero I would.

An excellent upgrade from the F & P top loader – I recently upgraded after my trustee 10kg top loader Fisher and Paykel washing machine of 18 years stopped working . I read numerous reviews and… Read more
decided to make that change to go with a front loader and because this brand has served me well for numerous larger appliances in my home, I went ahead and purchased it again!
This machine being 11kg will wash your king sized comforter with no issues. Items like socks come out really white. I like that it has a automatic dispenser that you can pre fill with liquid detergent and it dispenses as needed to the size of your load . I use OMO liquid detergent and also use laundry pods (and set the soap selection to manual when I used pods) by placing 2 at the back ends of the drum on either side and it washes a full load with no residue . I like that it has a 30 minute speed wash and the washer is user friendly in letting you adjust spin speeds and and water temperature to your liking . Overall I would recommend this washer to anyone looking to upgrade from a top loader . Clothes come out less creased with a front loader so there is less ironing needed!

So, this was a replacement for a dodgy 10kg Bosch front loader. Our verdict? We like it! SO quiet! We've not had one problem with it so far, and… Read more
we've been using it (a lot) for almost 4 months now. The spin cycle kicks in so quickly, and is really very quiet. You just don't notice it with the laundry door shut, and barely notice it with the door open! This machine is honestly the noisiest when it's taking water in! The cycles on it are very useful. I can wash blankets, heavy things, doonas/duvets, woollens, delicates etc. And obviously normal cycles, too! And I LOVE that you can do a 9kg 'Everyday' wash, that's under an hour. And things come out clean. Or I can make it just over an hour by adding in an extra rinse, or a prewash, or changing the temperature from 30 to 40 degrees. Or I can do a longer 'Cottons' wash if I think things are dirtier than usual. But even then, I can change the 'Speed' function and make it wash a bit faster. Basically, I have so many options with this washing machine, and it's not stuffed up even once. And it gets used a lot. The only downsides are that it's actually fairly noisy taking in the water (and we have the cold water tap very open so it's not struggling to get enough water or anything) and the wash cycles often take a bit longer than what it says to begin with. I've been caught out a few times thinking I'll have time to put a second load on before heading out, but then I check and it still has 17 minutes to go on it or something when it was meant to be finished already. Perhaps for lighter loads, the original time might be the case, but for full loads, it takes longer than the cycle says. However, it's still WAY faster than our old Bosch, so it's still pretty good. And I honestly think our clothes come out cleaner in this machine than they ever did in the Bosch. Plus the F&P machine is gentle on our clothes. No pulled drawstrings, stretched or torn clothing. I'm a happy camper and would definitely recommend this machine. Wish we'd bought it instead of the Bosch all those years ago! The mechanics and overall function seem superior.

Disappointed with Customer Support and Product Longevity I purchased this washing machine about a year ago for around $700, expecting it to last at… Read more
least a few years without issues. However, it has recently started making loud, abnormal noises during the wash cycle. I reached out to customer service hoping for some assistance, only to be told that a call-out fee of $349 would apply – nearly half the original purchase price, and more than the machine is even worth now (around $300).
This has left me incredibly frustrated as a customer. For a relatively new appliance to have problems so soon, and for the brand to charge such a steep fee just to assess it, doesn’t reflect well on the product quality or after-sales service. There was no offer of goodwill, no effort to troubleshoot remotely – just a high service fee that makes it hard to justify a repair.
From a customer experience standpoint, this feels like poor value and poor support. I expected more from a brand that markets itself as reliable.
If you’re considering buying this product, I would recommend thinking twice and perhaps looking at other brands that stand behind their products better and offer more reasonable support options.

So far so good – No issues. Inner light is a nice touch, quieter than the old german manufactured Bosch. Will update if (when) issues eventually arise. Average 4-5… Read more
loads a week. Machine makes a slight high pitched noise just being plugged in - turn it off at the wall because of this. Extended replacement warranty to five years.

dispenser. Said it was a real problem and to avoid another f&p washer as they have dropped in quality since moving manufacturing to you know where.
He suggested we dilute detergent and try thinner liquids. Tried that and it still overflow and wastes detergent.
You never know if there is a heap of detergent or none going in. I would certainly buy something else next time.
