Pros: Huge tub, plenty of cycles, less water, less drying time, two-year standard warranty. Cons: Plastic lid opens to 90 degrees and can come down on head.
It was a sunny crisp fall Saturday in Western North Carolina Stardate 111304. Most of the daddies around were playing with their kids at the park or washing their cars. Me? I had to do a little laundry. Well, not really a little, but a mound so big I ...
Pros: Shiny, quiet, flat control panel, cuts down on drying time needed. Cons: What if the elves escape?
When our ancient GE washer went to it's final resting place (not sure how old it was--it only had a hot/cold setting and a large/small load dial!) we set out on "THE SEARCH". I hate "THE SEARCH", as it usually is for something my husband wants. It ...
Pros: PERFECT balance, spin speed, soak cycle, well thought out machine, PRICE Cons: lid only opens 90 degrees, no typical soap & bleach dispenser, mediocre on tough stains.
I just purchased the F&P GW11 and I do like the machine. I did have a Calypso washer which I liked initially as well but it has been unreliable after 4 years. In my opinion, reliability is always a top factor along with cleaning ability. I can't ...
Pros: Great Unit. Very quiet, even at max spin speed. Cons: Doesn't have all the fancy compartments for automatic addition of bleach or fabric softener.
We hadn't purchased new laundry equipment for fifteen years. When our dryer died recently, I decided it was time to replace everything. We have a septic system and I wanted to get one of the new front loading washers. They use a lot less water than ...
Pros: Spins incredibly dry yet leaves perma press damp for less wrinkles; easy to clean surface Cons: Could be said to be a bit noisy, maybe even unattractive
Don't be afraid to give this brand a try! After using Maytag for over twenty-five years I "switched". I first saw this washer at the local Lowe's and the sales person pitched all the great things about it. I investigated and thought I would give it ...
Pros: Energy efficient, fast spin speed, top load, stainless tub, intuitive controls, plus many more! Cons: Nothing notable.
This is one of those products you walk into the store and know absolutely nothing about, including the company who makes it. You are expecting to see Maytag, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, etc. When you look at those machines, then the Fisher & Paykel, you...
Pros: Clothes come out barely damp; laundry chore is done faster! Saves on water bills. Cons: Wish the beeper were a little louder.
We've had this washer for three months, and love it! A high priority for us was a washer that uses as little water as possible, as water is very expensive here. I was scared off of front-loaders after reading numerous owner reviews mentioning water ...
Pros: Energy saving, simple design. Cleans clothes just fine. Cons: Wish it didn't make me afraid to add bleach.
I came here to read the reviews on this washer and its matching dryer (the DEGX1 SmartLoad) before making a decision on buying them or not. It seems there isn't much middle ground on these appliances -- people either love them or hate them. But I was ...
Pros: QUIET! Efficient. Well engineered. Cleans well. Cons: Huh? I can't think of anything.
We've had our Fisher and Paykel GWL11 for a few days now and so far we really like this thing! Definitely a very quiet washer. The spin cycle makes a cool "jet turbine" sound that is nowhere as loud as people mention. We have the washer/dryer in a ...
Pros: Energy efficient and intelligent. Cons: No control of rinse temperature, restricted control of other settings to maintain energy efficiency.
This is an e-mail that was sent almost 3 weeks ago to Fisher & Paykel in New Zealand after getting a poor reply from the US department. I have still not gotten a replay. I am interested in more information and have some concerns about the Ecosmart ...
Pros: Fast. Inexpensive. Dryer clothes. Uses little water. Clothes smell great and look brighter. Cons: Plain looking. It is not a gourmet kitchen centerpiece like the new mega-dollar Kenmores.
Our 16 year old Whirlpool was getting cantankerous, so we decided to get one of the new high efficiency front loaders. I read all of the reviews and found that almost all washers have some negative reports. But I was trained in the quality assurance ...
Pros: What we wish we purchased last time, and the time before that. Cons: The washer will bang around if a rug causes a large imbalance.
We recently purchased and installed the Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer. Likes: Size: fits our smallish laundry room much better. The Maytag units are huge. I think the size of the Maytags is just for show as the capacity is not that much ...
Pros: purchase price, less detergent use, less drying time, more overall efficiency. Cons: none substantiated
After fixing my old (only)10yr old washer for the umpteenth time, I got disgusted with it and informed my wife that we were going to look for a new one -- the one with the best reliability rating -- because I didn't want to be fixing our washer every ...
Pros: This washer is technically in a class by itself Cons: Not a one, if anything probably not priced high enough.
Let me start by saying I am a recently retired electrical engineer who spent his whole career with Rockwell Automation applying the state of the art technology being used in this washer. The only difference is that I applied this technology on ...
Pros: Ease of operation, quiet, and cleans clothes better than previous top loader. Cons: Cost and the end of cycle alarm volume is low and can not be changed.
After 10 years, our Kenmore top loader bit the dust with a bad transmission and a chipped porcelain tub. After researching epinions and other web sites, the design of the Fisher and Paykel (Direct drive variable speed motor and stainless steel ...
