Anyone own a "Fisher and paykel" washing machine?

[nhrenee]

Our old washer isn't worth fixing and somebody recommended a Fisher and paykel brand. They're originally from New Zealand but are now being manufactured in Ohio (or so I read on-line )
TIA!!!

We do, we do, we do!!!

LOVE this washer. When we first got it, I thought I'd need a degree to figure out how to actually work it, but it's really been a snap. VERY energy efficient, very water efficient, gets our clothes VERY clean, and spins so much water out of them, that my 14 year old dryer (that I now hate BTW) is also working better.

It's a top loader, got the biggest drum I've ever seen, and the best part of all? I NEVER NEVER NEVE have to go to the laundrymat again, because each of our comforters will fit!!!

If you have any specific questions, let me know.

Lowe's is the big box retailer around here that sells them, and I think some Mom and Pop shops carry them as well.

Thank you SO much for posting. I had never even heard of Fisher and Paykel until today.

What model do you have?

We have this one:

The IWL16. We had initially ordered the lower model, but there was a problem with delivery, and Lowe's made us a GREAT deal on the higher end one.

I just pulled DS's WHITE baseball pants out of the washer, they had blood and grass on them, and it all came out.

We have both the washer and dryer and love them both...

I have a F&P washer. The only complaint is my hood has cracked twice. It does spin the clothes fast so they do not take that long in the drier.

Tracy: which model did you buy and was it under warrantee?

We have a washer and dryer too. I LOVE them. My dog on the other hand, hates the washer. That's right, my dog. When the washer spins makes a high pitched noise that bugs him. The noise does not bother us at all by the way.

We have one too. It has been fine, but do not overload! I have found the washer much more delicate than others I have had and doesn't react well to "rough" handling.

I will have to go check. My mother use to work for an appliance place. So they fixed it for me twice with no problem. They ordered me a new hood.There is only a 1 year warriaty on parts. When the repair man came he said who sold you this piece of %^&*.

He told me to be careful with the hood when I open and close it. He also told me the saleman got a free washer and drier if he sold x amount. That is why they really push them. I`ll check my model # later. I`v had it about one and half years.
