Have had better.
Not very impressed with this machine. This is my third fisher paykel washingmachine in probably 15 years. Other two have had agitators, not this one. Previous ones were 6.5kg. New one is 9kg, but doesn't have as much capacity. What I could do in two loads in smaller capacity now takes me 3 loads,so using more water. Need to use warm water now to get a cleaner wash. Even then the wash is not as clean as I would like. Wish now I kept my old one and had it repaired. Had it for 18 years too. Never needed any repairs in that time.

Not happy Jan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disappointed with my new updated version. The lack of an agitator, yes gives more room, but clothes comes out all twisted, its like going back to the old twin tub days. Too many options 95% of them I will never use. I mostly use the quick cycle because of the cycle time as I dont want to be hanging washing out at lunch time. In my old FP washer I could reduce the time of the cycle manually for a quicker wash.
Would love to be able to go back to my 11 year old model.

Quiet and efficient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had our 8kg washing machine for a few weeks now. It is much quieter than our old one. It is so quiet we don’t hear it when a load finishes. I have put the app on my phone and use it to do delay starts when I am busy elsewhere in the house. This machine has two lint filters that I empty once each night. It took a few days before I figured out all the bells and whistles. I had the instruction book out and checked it before each load. We are happy wi our purchase.

Poor features
I bought this washer three weeks ago and I have numerous issues with it:
The autofill is not adequate; the lid lock is very frustrating having to pause and unlock it every time you want to inspect the wash or add clothes; there is no way to save the final rinse water; the eco wash does not rinse the clothes adequately; you can’t change the wash options (like increase the water level) once the cycle has started – have to stop machine completely and reprogram it. I will be selling this machine to some other unfortunate.

Another very satisfied customer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Machine appearance and design is really great and very easy to use.
It has an extensive range of washing cycles which can also be tailored to suit the users requirements.
The slow closing lid is another great feature and self levelling ability compensates any type of floor
Our previous Aqua smart FP machine served us well for 17 years.
We also have FP fridge and freezer again over 14 years old and still going well
This made choosing this brand again a no brainer

So easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely loved my last Fisher and Paykel, it lasted almost 15 years and my husband would even chuck in a load a washing because it was "so easy to use", it's replacement definitely had a tough act to follow! I am very pleased to say that my new Fisher and Paykel is living up to the standard set by it's predecessor and hubby has continued to put a load of washing in................ just need to get him to actually take it out and hang it on the line!!

Is the F&P a great machine?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a great washer! I seldom give a full 5 stars in reviews. Maybe Im picky, but what I do not like: is when you press the start button, it makes a sharp tack!! Noise! One would think something just broke!!! I do not like that at all!
But machine washes just fine, with presets etc. Low operating noise!
Happy in general terms, big improvement with my previous F&P.
Just that loud "tack"noise!
Dont see the point of that.
For blind people maybe? No.

Happy customer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy so far. Only purchased 2 months ago but impressed with performance. Quiet, cleans well and lint catchers work very well. It’s kinder on the clothes as there is no agitator which I was hesitant about at first but it’s a good thing. Always had fluff on my clothes from previous machine but no problems now. If it lasts as long as my previous machine (22 years) I will be very very happy! So it was a good purchase and would recommend it.

Another Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have just replaced our washing machine (15 year old Fisher & Paykel) with a 8kg Fisher & Paykel. After 61 loads (I get this info from the IOS App) , I could not be more pleased that I decided to purchase another Fisher & Paykel product. Initially I had to check that the machine was working, this is due to how quiet the machine is. I would certainly recommend this product to others. Thanks Fisher & Paykel for another great product 👍👍👍

I bought this machine s few weeks ago. It leaves detergent streaks on my clothes. The lid locks during was cycle and you can’t open the lid. Very annoying for a top loader. The cycles are really long and slow

What a great 8kg washing macine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The washer was delivered put in place. Its a great looking machine ,so neat clean lines make it a nice piece in our laundry.
On filling the machine with our dirty clothes from our recent trip away, we were anxious to see how good it was, the controls making wash selction so easy, well wow our clothes came out so clean looking like new.
It a very quiet machine you can hardly hear it working, wonderful, and we recomend this machine to all.

Nice machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like everything about this washing machine, except....the residue of washing powder, washing sheets or liquid that I find on my clothes thereafter. It is obviously more noticeable on dark clothing but I'm sure its on all my clothes. It's annoying to have to dilute prior to washing. This machine doesn't have an agitator in middle like my old one, that could be the problem as it never happened with my old machine. Otherwise, its ok.

Happy with extra room inside tub
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This top loader does not tie up the clothes and linen as much as previous washers we have used. The two lint collectors take getting used to as you must use two fingers to press and hold the catches to disengage from tub. Once clear, the lint is easily removed from the collectors. Time to wash is longer than expected - usually 1hr16min for mixed load, and regularly longer than the originally displayed wash time (extra 5 to 10mins)

Love my new F&P Washing Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new F&P washing machine, simple to use, lint filters easy to reach and clean out, love the timer count down on it so I know I only have a few minutes to wait before I head off to work. Its very quiet and I find our clothes are spun really well with no excess water, so drying time on the line doesn't take as long as it used to. Great size, overall size smaller than my old machine and with no agitator, bowl size works well.

Fisher & Paykel 8kg Top Loader Washer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Fisher & Paykel top loader has been pleasing, I have no complaints. It doesn't have those long agitators making it kinder on clothes but still delivers a great wash. There’s lots of cycles to choose from depending on what you’re washing, and build quality feels solid. What I like most is the practical usability. It's just simple, intuitive and just gets the job done without fuss. Finally, it's the quietest machine I've owned.

Spacious & easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Am enjoying this machine. Overall very happy with it. Was easy enough to install & set up ourselves. This is the first top loader I have used with no agitator, and it is so much easier to load & unload. Washing performance has been good. Occasionally there are residue marks left on dark clothing, even with using liquid detergent. I realised this was happening when the water level was set to Auto, as though it wasn't using enough water to rinse thoroughly. I have found that selecting an appropriate water level gives better results. The filters are easy to remove & empty. I have made it a habit to do this after every cycle. Good selection of cycles available to choose from, and options to customise. I like that the machine powers off once the cycle has finished.

Not happy
I bought this machine January 26 & wish I'd read the reviews first. My previous machine was a top loader F&P also & I loved it. This new machine isn't as good. There is always linting on clothes..even after 2 items been thru a second rinse & spin. I've used drum cleaner & liquid clothes wash. Another thing that bugs me is the length of the rinse & spin cycles as well as wash cycles my last machine was quicker & more efficient . Definitely give this a thumbs down.

What I honestly think about this washing machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with my new F&P washing machine. Smaller profile than my old 8kg and a lovely sleek feel and look. Does a great job and handles sheets and other lrg items well. There is a sharp locking noise when it first starts, but then runs quietly. The controls are simple and easy to adjust and the timer display is really helpful. I haven't used its WiFi features, though I can see how they'd be handy for some.

Excellent little machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use with lots of settings to choose from. Love not having a large centre agitator. The overall outside size of the machine is smaller than the older models but the drum still takes the same size load. I don't like the lid lock for the entire wash, the washing powder hole is messy & the wash cycles are longer than the old machines were. But over all, its a great machine and I would recommend it!

NOT HAPPY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not very happy as wash cycles very slow and take about twice as long as digital timer indicates. Eg quick wash does not take 27 minutes but almost an hour and mixed cycle not 57 minutes but 2 hours. Another problem is that everything comes out very creased, despite my using slower spin rate. I now have to iron things I have never ironed before. Worse, my favourite Liberty cotton shirt came out shredded.

LOVE IT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 8kg Series 5 Top Loader Washer, UV Sanitise we are absolutely loving our new machine. Always had F&P and after pressure to change decided to stick with what we know. Had doubts over the no agitator feature, but after a couple of months of use find that the flexibility offered by the whole drum being used is great. Love the lint filter traps. Bought on a good special so a great machine at a great price.

Effortless Laundry Days with Fisher & Paykel

Plenty of cycles to suit every fabric and situation
Smart, water‑saving technology for efficient performance add real hygiene value
Quiet operation and smart safety features
Eco‑friendly without compromising on clean
If it weren’t already yours, I’d highly recommend it based on the flexible features and performance it delivers.

A Brand I Know and Trust
I enjoy using this washing machine with it's easy control panel and my clothes come out clean (unlike some reviews I've read). Love not having the centre agitator making more room for clothes, and the lint collection is an added function that is great. My only criticism would be the lid locking from the beginning of the wash cycle, would be better to only lock during the spin cycles like my old machine. Even so I'd still recommend this product.

A great machine, but…
Having just retired out last Fand P washer after 20+ years of reliable service, we are very happy with the new variant, except perhaps for the needless requirement to have to use the app and wifi connectivity for a few of the cycles. Really!?! A rotary cycle selector should be able to manage all of the necessary cycles and an appropriate use of the delay function should easily negate any requirement for a washing machine to be internet capable.

18 years service from one machine - beat that
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are many great features on this machine - the lint trap gathers the fluff from the clothes, the handles on the side are great when shifting and the wash cycles do an incredible job with great versatility. I like that it is 8 kg like my old machine but is slimmer and deeper so takes up less room in the laundry My previous machine was a Fischer & Paykel that I had for 18 years so I didn't look at any other brand. It still washed the clothes but did not pick up the fabric softener. There are two features I would change - the serial number should be displayed on the front of the machine, maybe inside the lid for completing warranty or calling for service and I would prefer not to have a soft close lid. We all lead busy lives and want to get on with the wash not wait for the lid to close

I preferred my old Fisher & Paykel washing machine
I have always had Fisher & Paykel washing machines. Unfortunately this one doesn't allow for drip drying clothes as even when you "hold" the spin, it drains so hard that the clothes are not wet enough to drip dry. If you want to take them out dripping you have to interrupt the cycle and hope you have stopped it at the right time. The fast spin leaves clothes very wrinkled, but the mid speed spin leaves them so damp they take forever to dry.

Loving Fisher & Paykel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new Fisher & Paykel washing machine. My last one lasted 16 years so didn’t hesitate buying another one. Obviously after 16 years styles have changed and controls are different but it took me no time to work it out. Love the timer as I can set any time I want and it’s great to have a load waiting for me to put out when I get up in the morning. Nice and quiet even when it has completed.

Frustrating
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a Fisher and Paykel washing machine for the last 20 years, I never hesitated to purchase another one 4 weeks ago. However, I am disappointed in the results. Dark clothes seem to come out dirtier than they went in and I have to rinse them myself. The spin cycle is too long. My clothes also come out feeling hard. I use exactly the same liquid detergent as before. Very frustrating
