Pros: energy efficient, not overly expensive, gets clothes nearly dry when finished.
Cons: cheaper looking lid, but won't rust.
Summary: I bought my Fisher & Paykel washer in 2004 for $599. It has been wonderful. I have six people in my family including 4 playful children, who generate a lot of dirty clothing. This washer can handle the loads. I wash nearly every day and since purchasing ... read more

Pros: your children can jump up and down on the lid with little to no damage
Cons: breaks easy, expensive to repair, ruins clothes
Summary: I purchased this washer new 2 years ago from a scratch and dent store. Like many other people said the salesman toted the plastic top that could withstand anything. They would have done better making the whole washer out of that stuff because ... read more

Pros: The clothes are usually super dry after completion of spin cycle.
Cons: Too much reliance on cheap circuit board and cpu controller.
Summary: We bought the GWL15 about 3 years ago at Lowes. It's been ok for a family of two plus a couple golden retrievers. My son convinced me to buy it because it was supposed to be easy to work on - like you can remove the motor through the top of ... read more

Pros: Decreased gas bill for hot water and water bill.
Cons: Lid locks once it is on and requires stopping to open it.
Summary: We purchased this washer a little over a year ago at Lowes and had only one slight problem with it. It turned out to be a safety pin with lint stuck in the diverter valve (I repaired it myself). This washer is a lot easier to repair than regular top ... read more

Pros: A real energy saver, cloths ring out dry as a bone.
Cons: High speed spin does cause cloths to wrinkle more.
Summary: Upon reading these reviews on here, I am somewhat amazed at how negative some of them are. How can some people have such a bad experience compared to others? One reviewer even saying their cloths were shredded? How did the machine do this I ask ... read more

Pros: High spin cycle. Large capacity.
Cons: Needs self-leveling legs. Can only get "hot" cycle if you use permanent press cycle.
Summary: When our Kenmore dryer died on us after only 3 years I decided I needed to do some research before buying this time. We wanted the washer & dryer to match because they are on the main floor of our home so we bought this washer with the matching dryer. ... read more

Pros: Came with five year parts warranty, eco friendly, easy to use.
Cons: Breaks down easily, parts are hard to obtain.Few repairmen know how to service.
Summary: I have owned the Fisher and Paykel EcoSmart washer and dryer since July 2002. The dryer is a fairly reliable appliance; it has only needed to be serviced once in the time I have had it (the seal on the door needed to be replaced to keep lint from spewing ... read more

Pros: Big compacity, good price, stainless steel tub, spins clothes really well.

Pros: Large capacity, manual override of automatic water level.
Cons: Shreds clothing and towels, leaks water onto the floor.
Summary: My husband and I just purchased this machine in November of 2007 to replace a 2yr old Kenmore that had also given us problems. After countless hours of reading conflicting reviews for all of the washers available on the market today, we chose to go with ... read more

Pros: large capacity, stainless steel drum, preset wash cycles with overrides, 2 year warranty
Cons: even though stability is good there is a slight rocking motion during spin cycle
Summary: I had to replace my 8 year old machine a month ago because the drum braking system was worn out. This washer is better than average and is top loading which saves hurting the back that is possible with the currently advertised, top of the line front ... read more

Pros: Huge stainless tub. Really cuts drying time due to spin technology. Very quiet.
Cons: Wellwater pressure MAY be a problem. Fabric softener didn't dispense thru clothes like conventional machines.
Summary: I'm not sure I can give a fair review of the F&P GWL15 since I had problems 80% of the time I owned it. (only 8 weeks!) However, I want to encourage potential buyers who's water is supplied by a WELL SYSTEM with LESS than GOOD WATER PRESSURE to ... read more

Pros: Clothes spin nearly dry.
Cons: Water and suds on the floor!
Summary: We have owned this Fischer & Paykel washer for 11 months. The F&P set replaced our Frigidaire front loader set which did not allow us to determine the water level used for washing. We like our laundry without detergent residue. We get clean laundry ... read more
