Great Machine...but – I just wanted to write a review on this washing machine as I wish I could of known this before purchase.. This machine washes really well.. No complaints there, but... (as there always is!), you cannot open the machine during cycles to add to machine or add fab softener or vinegar if you forget. Pain! However, I did come across a great little tip to stop lint accumulating on your clothes. Fisher & Paykel have a Lint Filter basket that goes into the agitator and you have to clean after each wash. Really excellent. The Lint Filter number is 42651P, Costs about $35.95+postage of $8.95. I'm sure you will find this helpful. My husband wears contacts and can't have fluff on towels, so this little gem perfect.
