Pros: its got it all
Cons: none
Summary: As my regular reader knows (hi Mum), I don't often do product reviews. This is not because I don't want to - its just because living on the Ethiopean end of the Australian economy we rarely buy anything. For instance our attempts to buy two slices of ... read more

Pros: In a hot/arid climate, you won't even need your dryer during the summer...
Cons: F&P's great engineering seems to include an excellent "planned obsolesence" engineering approach...
Summary: Revised now for the third time... Cons: shortly after (on the order of months) the 2 year parts/service warranty ended, the washer decided to stop working. Less than a year later, it stopped working again...this time it's the control panel that went ... read more

Pros: It's the best washer I have ever had in my house.
Cons: None
Summary: When I first looked at this machine I wondered how it could ever work since it does not have a transmission. I am a believer in it now. I purchased mine in Sept. of 2001. Since that month my electrical bill has dropped an average of $20. per month. I am ... read more

Pros: Cleans Clothes Wonderfully!
Cons: None!
Summary: One year ago we purchased the Fisher & Paykel EcoSmart Washer GWL10 and I'm proud to say after 52 weeks of use we are still extremely happy with our decision to buy this washer. What I love about this washer is that even though it uses very little water ... read more

Pros: Energy and water efficient, cleans great, makes cool noises
Cons: More expensive than other top loaders, service may be difficult to find
Summary: I recently spent several months researching new washers and dryers while my ancient Whirlpool machines died a slow death. When the dryer finally gave out a few weeks ago, it inspired me to stop researching and start buying. For my new washer, I chose the ... read more

Pros: CleanCleanClean clothes, high spin speed, automatic water level
Cons: "Travels" a bit when spinning sometimes
Summary: I love this washer!!
I recently spent a year with a brand new Maytag Neptune washer and dryer and was completely unhappy and dissatisfied. I divorced them, picked up the pieces, and now I'm happily cohabitating with a Fisher & Paykel Ecosmart. ... read more

Pros: Easy to use; flexible; good cleaning; high energy rating; low water usage; 1000 rpm spin
Cons: Can't stack; still has agitator; water usage not as low as front-loaders; no sanitizing
Summary: Latest update (4/22/03): I was moved to a temporary apartment in Switzerland and a Miele washer/dryer came with the apartment. Now that I've lived with and used both, I can compare the two. They are both fine machines. The benefit of a Miele over the FP ... read more

Pros: quiet, clothes come from wash cycle really dry, easy to use, lightweight
Cons: higher purchase cost compared to some washing machines, lower operating cost
Summary: Was planning to buy the Maytag Performa, based on the good review Consumer Reports gave it, but the appliance store didn't sell that particular Maytag model. The salesman gave a spiel for the Fisher & Paykel, but the somewhat high price tag made me ... read more

Pros: Fast, quiet, light
Cons: reliability, leaks, service response
Summary: OK, so I was so impressed with this technology that I shelled out $800 clams. The last washing machine I owned was a Maytag and it was bullet proof for 20 years.
I have owned this for less than 2 years and guess what: It has leaked at the ... read more

Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: Severe-violent agitation cycles
Summary: It seems that the people @ F&P have indeed developed a technological standard for a top loading unit that may second to none. The Consortium for Energy Efficiency has rated this unit among the highest on the consumer market. Along with a direct "smart ... read more

Pros: Ease of use,$100 rebate from Alliant Energy!
Cons: It doesn't have a see through lid so you can watch it work.
Summary: Don't let the plastic lid on this machine fool you it is a definite work horse. When I went into my Whirlpool Dealer/Repairman to see this machine he couldn't stop telling me how great it was.He has access to all the Whirlpool machines but took home ... read more

Pros: The advantages of a front-loader but the back saving convenience of a top loader.
Cons: Haven't found one yet.
Summary: My wife and I originally wanted to get a front-loader because of the energy and water conservation. She has a bad back and after stooping to look at the front-loaders available she said she preferred a top-loader if we could find one we liked.

Pros: 1000 rpm spin speed leaves clothes almost dry.
Cons: 1000 rpm spin speed sounds like an airplane taking off.
Summary: This review is for the Fisher&Paykel Smart Drive washer=
I bought the Smart Drive washer in September 98. It has a 3.0 cubic foot stainless steel tub. It is a 20 pound capacity model. Ever since I bought this washer back in 98 I do 2-3 loads in it ... read more

SEE THE NEW UPDATE!!!!

Pros: Energy Efficient; one touch operation
Cons: Loud during drying cycle.
Summary: There are not many top loading washers that are EnergyStar compliant. The Fisher and Paykel (F&P)washer is the most energy efficient if you compare KwH per year using the FTC method. In addition, the F&P ranks above ALL washers (both front and top ... read more
