Fisher & Paykel Series 7 Top Loader Washing Machines

So very, very disappointing.
Clothes come out dirtier than they went in time and time again.
I specifically chose to invest more in a quality machine but my basic old machine was 100x better

Machine is great except it’s not. Good programs, great ease of use, look fine BUT for the love of god it cannot handle any imbalance. It seems only the smallest imbalance sends it into thump thump mode and then stops. Rearrange the load, start again and yep same problem multiple times

Firstly the auto fill option under fills the machine for the load. This causes soap residue. You say add less soap, but the solution from f&p to reduce lint is to add more soap. F&P know there is a lint problem & sell a lint filter for it. Should have been included to start with. The agitator blades break off and then start to tear your cloths. The agitator blades are note well designed

Pros:
The motor is great
Cons:
Lint lint, Fisher and Paykel is aware of this for years but who cares
No hot&cold water mixer, so hot water hits first and will ruin your clothes

I am new to Fisher & Paykel washing machines and all I can say is I wished I had discovered it years ago. Absolutely wonderful, it is quiet, efficient, reliable and looks gorgeous in my laundry. Have had a few months now and washed various items and all with amazing results. Highly recommend and will most definitely consider other Fisher & Paykel products. Purchase - you won't be disappointed.

I had it for almost 2 years, didn’t clean properly from beginning; tried all the cycles with water efficiency off.
I just had enough; my laundry come out still smells, didn’t have enough water in all cycle.
Called support F&P after long wait and he transferred me to machine.

I spent around $1500 on this machine ,with high hopes for the price huh was i sorryly mistaken.
Next to no water when washing clothes ,sheets ect. No matter how much or little u put into it,no option to pick your own water level.no lint remover(even thought it states it's supposed to get rid of lint with out one ) it does not!,clothes come out smelly ,rough and full of lint .oh and by the time the hot water makes it through the pipes to the machine it stops filling the measly little bit of water it uses, so no real hot water function,usless! I will never buy a fisher and pykel washine machine again it's not even worth 1 star ,I feel ripped off ! Only LG and simpson for me

We used F&P top loaders for over 20 years - high quality and reliable products. Not any more. WA7560E1 delivered yesterday. It is very noisy. Called F&P for assistance. The earliest available appointment is in 22 (twenty-two) days. It looks F&P is extremely busy with repairs. Does that tell much about quality?

The pros - good size no agitator can handle a load of towels or large blankets , no drama smart technology. The negative - For the last six months this machine can take up to 2 days to wash one average load i’m washing because it will continuously beep due to levelling issues. I wouldn’t recommend for a family, I wash daily and this machine- just won’t work properly

I brought this based on the reviews saying how quiet it is, it is so noisy it sounds like it is going to take off, very very disappointed as our laundry is next to our living room, even with the doors shut you can still hear it

I bought this washer in 2016 after my trusty 15 year old Simpson failed with a water damaged motherboard.

From the very first wash it was noticeably louder than the old Simpson, took longer to finish, and didn't clean as well.
I made sure it was installed as per the instructions and took special care to level it perfectly.
Regardless of the way we added the load, or the items in the load, it would make loud banging noises and had a high pitched squeal during the spin cycle. The squeal sounded like a main bearing had failed but according to Fis...

Doesn’t use enough water. Towels come out hard. Clothes tangled. This is too automatic as extra water can’t be used. I hate it. The control panel is hard to see too.

The F&P cleansmart 10 kg is my 4th Fisher & Paykel top loader . I am not happy with it . Because of the low water use towels are poorly rinsed hence hard and crunchy . Even with fabric softener . I did have my husband add buckets of water to increase the water level . Now I just return to laundry after fill and fill double . We do not have many very dirty clothes . Though I did need to rewash and hand scrub the knees of my husband gardening jeans . I can NEVER remember having to do that . Sheets become tangled in knots . I am currently sittin...

I have the 8. kg model. For 4 years and 8 months I have put up with it unbalancing !!!! I have had the technician out, who tried to tell me it is because I send my water out onto the lawn. I put up with it because I knew we were going to do a major reno and change our plumbing. Well guess what! I no longer do that and it still unbalances - every single friggen load. Biggest piece of rubbish I have ever purchased. I will not even give it away, as I would not inflict this nightmare on my worst enemy. Never Ever will I buy a Fisher and Paykel again. And as for the technician - Don't lie to people, if you know the machine has this fault, be honest.

Had for years. SO annoying. Don't buy. Unbalances ALL the time, quite unreasonably; then beeps. try rebalance...doesn't work... more beeping and so on for hours. Detergent dispenser is also silly.
