Fine washer with the funny name

byDesignSmith Nov 9, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Energy Star saving both electricity and water. Burst proof hoses included. Space saving...
Cons Parts availability. (not yet needed, but hard to find on-line)
Recommended it? Yes

Fisher and Paykel is not widely known or available in the US, but it is generally available at the Lowe's warehouse stores.

At first my wife did not want the washer with the odd name and nearly as odd looks. But I was sold on the efficiency ratings, which showed it using half as much... Read full review »

Pros Uses only 7 amps, solar compatible.  Direct drive motor, efficient. Makes cute beeping...
Cons None so far. But will report any I find.  
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my fisher and paykel back in early September 08.  We run our home off a propane generator and a solar system.  I always had to do laundry with the generator.  Now I don't, The FP is one of the only HE washers that will operate off solar system energy through an inverter and batteries.  ...

Pros Good when it works
Cons Near impossible to get serviced
Recommended it? No

I bought this machine October 1, 2006 and it died on me today 7 short months later. The tub inside is tilted to one corner and is unusable. That's not even the worst part! Quite the story in just trying to get this thing serviced.

I first called the Lowe's service center as instructed by... Read full review »

Pros Energy efficient, water efficient and great at getting your clothes clean!
Cons I've heard parts are hard to get hold of
Recommended it? Yes

I love my Fisher and Paykel washing machine, but then I'm probably biased as it's the type I grew up with (being that I'm from NZ originally). I love the fact that it is so energy and water efficient!

We use cloth diapers, and the time had long come for our old washer. I kept waiting for... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I have this machine, and everyone told me I would love it. I bought the set. Within the first year the pump broke, and the biggest problem is that all the parts have to be shipped to you. I am so glad I got the extended warranty. I just recieved a gift card as the buttons on the top broke and the... Read full review »

Pros Great machine all around, uses much less water & electric, compact and light-weight!
Cons Can no longer use the washer to felt projects, No other complaints about this item!
Recommended it? Yes

Must say this little machine has really impressed me! We purchased this unit awhile back, when I blew the transmission seal out of our newer Maytag. Being the third washer to meet it's fate at my hands in a period of 5 years, we decided to give something different a try.

I am a notorious... Read full review »

Great washer (and dryer)

bymotor_street Mar 11, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Very efficient, relatively quiet, high capacity, multiple settings, doesn't take up...
Cons Very basic appearance
Recommended it? Yes

We were looking for a lot more capacity than our old Whirlpool gave us. Although the Whirlpool was a workhorse that gave us many years of good use (and still works very well), it simply did not have enough capacity for my family of five. In addition we were looking for a faster spin cycle so that... Read full review »

Cons Unreliable. Long repair time. Repair parts not readily available. High cost to repair...
Recommended it? No

Failed to drain twice in 3 1/2 years. It took over 3 weeks to get it fixed the first time it failed. Repairman did not have the repair parts (not a common model) and then parts were not readily available.

Second failure occured last week. Called the repair hotline and nobody has returned... Read full review »

Pros large capacity.automatic water adjust saves on water
Cons rough on clothes, expense, lint collect clogs the drain pump.Inside tub retains sour water
Recommended it? No

We needed a large washer,we spent a lot of time in research. We thought we'd found a real gem. WRONG... Within six months we had multiple issues with(too many suds). It doesn't indicate in our manual that you must use an H.E. detergent. Well, you'll wish you did. Then we had several issues with the... Read full review »

Pros Many features, physically light, MANY FEATURES!!
Cons Potential Lifespan Issues, not much else negative to say
Recommended it? Yes

Well, our 20 year old washer died and we went over to Lowes to see what was out there. We found the Intuitive sitting next to a front loader Whirlpool.. Anyway, we don't have the room for front loaders in our laundry room, so it ruled out the better machines on the market. When we came to the... Read full review »
