Takes too long to dry cloths takes an 1hr , doesn't matter if it's 3 things or 15 things or towels or sheets , and on top of that there still damp in… Read more
places like waist bands etc .set on heavy , dry, extra dry and high heat settings.My old 5kg f&p dryer was much faster and everything came out dry.Also I hung mine on the wall and fitted the reverse sticker panel but the LED panel was still upside down and it took me forever to find out how to invert it.The process for this is nowhere to be found in your booklet.Im sure 95% of people are staring at an upside down LED.On the plus side the 8kg top load washer I brought at the same time is great .
Follow-up · It still takes way longer to dry clothes than my old f&p dryer but after finding out how to turn led the right way round I am reasonable happy with it over all

The machine was easy to instal and is reliable, sensing works fairly well. But.. started rattling on the second use & got worse but not affecting use. Main issue is it bundles all larger items like sheets and covers into a ball that thuds and doesn’t dry them because it keeps returning the fabric into a ball. Have loved previous FP machines but this one is a dud. Poor cheap design. Show details
Do not Buy – Worst dryer I’ve had in half a century of laundry duty. Rolls sheets into a tight ball. Many other users say the same. No customer service from F&P. Do not purchase! Show details
More Options for Delicate Items – Our previous dryer was also a Fisher & Paykel, as is our Washing Machine and 3 Fridges!! The brand is therefore well known to us for its quality & reliability. In choosing this model we looked at the new technology available but decided that our usage is modest and did not warrant the top end options. This dryer has many more settings which allow… Read more
for the amount of heat to be accurately applied as well as the "Sensing" capability which assists greatly with how long it runs. We use it always for towels, which come out much softer than sun drying. Lately, I have been experimenting with other clothing and am pleased to say that the shrinkage, which used to be a major problem in the older dryers, is not an issue with this model. I have used the Dryer for items which say "Do Not Tumble Dry" and while I am not recommending this, I do feel that maybe the clothing manufacturers have not kept up with the advances in dryer technology. I fully recommend this product as I do with all F & P products we have used over the years.
Keep looking at other dryers! – I have been using this machine for approx 6 weeks and already the Start/Pause buttons, which are the most used ones, are starting to wear off. I will have to put tape over them before they wear through. Also, the auto sensor program: you have to keep an eye on what you toss in. Some items are still damp, whilst others are bone dry. A learning… Read more
curve with that program. The timer program starts at 30 mins and goes up in 30 min increments to 2 hours 30. If you are using it for that long you have a serious problem! Overall I wouldnt recommend this particular machine and I went by the reviews on Appliances Online website, too! Bought to replace a reconditioned 34 year old dryer only problem was the door was cracked. Kinda miss it!
Mounting is terrible – F&P dryers used to use a wide metal bracket for a wall mount (see photo). The bracket was great as it didn't matter what the stud spacing was, you could easily mount the dryer without issue! This latest dryer uses a two piece mounting bracket (see photo) that needs to be 555mm apart. Pity if your stud spacing isn't 555mm apart (as mine weren't) as… Read more
you then need to spend half a day mounting an intermediate piece. :( A complete waste of my day. Thanks F&P.
The other incredible oversight by F&P is why they didn't just include two mounting slits in their newer dryers??? This way new dryers could be mounted on older brackets like the wide metal bracket that was already on my wall. Overall I truly think F&P have lost the plot when it comes to modern appliance design. Do any of their designers actually mount these items themselves? Perhaps senior management could have the designers try out their designs in someone's home. If they can't easily mount the unit themselves then they get another product designer.
Great product – Bought this when our old dryer failed, with 4 kids it’s going constantly and performs as expected, great quality product from Fisher and Paykal, would purchase future products from this manufacturer Show details
Biggest lemon ever – Want knotted sheets that don't dry in the middle. Love noise of grating metal?have f&p invented the worst dryer ever? you have to try this lemon to believe it. Customer Service is a myth Show details
Poor quality – My last F&P dryer went for more than 25yrs without a hitch. Finally broke down (starter capacitor) Bought new one which lasted 5 weeks before fan problem - rubbing on housing & min. 10 days for repair tech to come look at it. PP service. Don’t make ‘‘em like they used to. Show details
Buttons on clothes, Cords get caught between dryer plastic wall edging and drum – Small buttons on shirts, cord on shorts get caught between drum edge and plastic trim on dryer wall. Only way to remove is to break them off/cut. Leaving loose pieces behind drum. Small items, ie socks, cloths etc go into lint filter and need rewashing as they are fluffy. Cannot change setting once dryer has started ie. temp. Need to power off and… Read more
start again. I wish I had not upgraded my old F & P. Old model built differently internally and way better. If only I could return it and get my old dryer back.
Great products – After 13 years two loads a day every day my old Fisher & Paykel dryer died going to miss the beast never let me down that was until I bought the new one today love it hope I can get the same life out of it as I did the old one great products always my first choice. Show details
