This machine has been excellent.

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

We had this model washing machine for 9 years without incident. When the washing machine required a major service, we decided that because it had been such an excellent machine, we replaced it with the current model which like its predecessor, is excellent.

Only worked for 3 years then had errors

WashSmart WA7560E1 (7.5kg)

Very disappointed with our purchase. There are frequent detergent marks on our clothes because it doesn’t wash very well. After three years it kept beeping every load saying it was unbalanced. We tried everything and even got it serviced. It didn’t fix the problem. I would never buy this brand again!

Not enough expletives to describe machine

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

The very worst washing machine I've ever had.Always stopping for being out of balance,cleaning cycle uses vast amount of water and you can't select your own water level. Don't buy under any circumstances.

Purchased for $1,299.

After 7 years, I'm calling it - worst machine ever.

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

I have had this washing machine for seven years, and I cannot begin to describe how much I hate it. It constantly has out-of-balance issues and is difficult to clean and troubleshoot. The out-of-balance issues can regularly turn a normal 40-minute wash into a two-hour ordeal. Genuinely not worth it. Avoid at all costs.

Bad waste of money

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

IT will not fill with water to a full level even on full load. it tangles and knots up the bed sheets. it tangles up my work cloths and leaves gunge marks all over them even in warm water and using the liquid detergent.
Have had many fisher & Paykel machines before until now. The water saving sensor won't put enough water in it to wash properly and without a full agitator it rolls and knots up the cloths. Don't buy.

Very Disappointed

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

I had been so happy with my previous Fisher & Paykel washing machine, that when it stopped working after many faithful years, I did not hesitate in purchasing another one, big mistake. I should have done my research and read reviews, as this new machine is terrible. Very noisy, out of balance and problems with the water level. So disappointed, an expensive mistake.

Not happy

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

Can hear water going in to washer then seems to drain out, on checking water nowhere near covering clothes. Told by helpline to put on heavy duty wash. Ridiculous as clothes are very lightly soiled I prefer quick wash. Clothes smell of detergent.
Have tried adding water, wetting clothes first to add weight etc. Etc.
Really not happy with this expensive product and would love a solution.
There is no setting to control water level.

Purchased in at The Good Guys for $1,694.

Can't believe they sell a washing machine WITHOUT a lint filter!!!!!!!!

WashSmart WA8560E1 (8.5kg)

I am astounded that in 2018 Fisher & Paykel are selling me a washing machine WITHOUT a lint filter!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe I have to pay almost $50 to buy the part that should come with the washing machine????????!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise I am happy with the machine. I wash a lot of dark clothing and this is just not good enough.

Constant Issues with the balance from 35 mins on

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

The Machine constantly beeps with balance issues from the time it gets to 35/34 mins out. No amount of moving clothes around seems to help. It is quite steady and not out of balance but I can never get it working except on rare occassion when it finishes the wash while stopping only twice

This machine frustrates me every time I use it.

CleanSmart WL1068P1 (10kg)

I bought this machine as our last Fisher and Paykel was superior quality.
I regret the purchase every time I use it.
Despite all efforts to trouble shoot, my clothes come out covered in lint/ residue.
Fisher and Paykel customer care has not offered any assistance to resolve the issue.
The product she be discontinued as it absolutely does not do the job that it claims to do.

A few months on...and this washing machine continues to be a piece of crap. A 10kg machine ought to be able to wash a queen size top and bottom sheet together, but no...in this machine they come out dirtier than they went in.
Customer care continues to be of zero assistance.
Stay away from this machine.

Purchased in at The Good Guys for $1,500.

The machine is filling up and it sporadically beeps 3-4 times, no error code both hot and cold water is on. It doesn’t stop the machine from working - I have reset, given a super duper clean out. Any ideas?

Contact the service number in the booklet provided. Unfortunately I hate my new machine so can't give any proper advice. I don't recommend this model.

This is a really bad machine - have issues and mine is only 2 years old. Fisher & Paykel have zero customer service and do not care what is wrong and take NO responsibility for their dodgy workmanship. I will never purchase another Fisher & Paykel - complete rubbish - riding on false good name!! Also warning machine rust from the inside out - not designed to interact with water - which is ridiculous given it is a WASHING MACHINE!!
