At a glance
This 12kg Fisher & Paykel front load washer suits larger households that want fewer loads and easier day-to-day washing. Its strengths are the generous capacity, auto dosing, touchscreen controls and specialised programs including steam refresh and allergy care. A fair limitation is that it is not Wi-Fi enabled, so it lacks app-based control found on some premium rivals.

Things to consider

5 star WELS, 86L
Family laundry fit

- 5 inch Touchscreen: Makes program selection and wash customisation simple and easy to follow.
- Steam Refresh: Freshens lightly worn clothes without running a full wash cycle.
- Add a Garment: Lets you open the door immediately to add missed items after the cycle has started.
- 5 Star Water Rating: Helps reduce water use, with a WELS water consumption figure of 86L.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Offers strong energy performance with stated consumption of 275 kWh per year.
Q: Does this washer need both hot and cold water connections?
A: Yes. Fisher & Paykel WH1260R5 connects to both hot and cold water taps, so it suits homes with dual inlets already in place. If your laundry has only one tap, that plumbing setup needs to be checked before purchase.
Q: Will the 661mm depth fit in a standard laundry recess?
A: It fits many open laundry spaces, but 661mm is not especially shallow for a front loader. Allow extra room for hoses, door swing and airflow, especially if the washer is going into cabinetry or a tighter enclosed laundry zone.
Q: How is Refresh different from the sanitise wash options?
A: Refresh is for lightly worn clothes that need freshening without a full wash, using steam. The sanitise options are separate wash settings with hot water or UV light, so they are better suited to a deeper wash treatment.
Q: Can I add a forgotten shirt once the cycle starts?
A: Yes. Fisher & Paykel WH1260R5 has an add-a-garment function with immediate door opening, so forgotten items can be added after the wash begins. It is intended for quick additions, not unloading and re-sorting a full load.
Q: How does auto dosing help on everyday family washing?
A: Auto dosing stores detergent in the machine and dispenses it automatically, which reduces measuring for regular loads. Manual dose settings can still be useful when you want tighter control over detergent choice or the amount used.
Q: Does this Fisher & Paykel washer have Wi-Fi or app control?
A: No. Fisher & Paykel WH1260R5 is not Wi-Fi enabled, so programs are selected on the 5 inch touchscreen rather than through an app. It suits buyers who prefer direct on-machine control, but not remote start or phone alerts.
Q: Which side does the door open, and why matters?
A: The door is left-hinged, so it opens from the left side of the cabinet. That matters if the washer is going beside a wall, dryer stack or laundry tub, because the opening side affects access and how easily bulky loads go in.
