At a glance
The Fisher & Paykel Series 7 WH1260D5 is a 12kg front load washer built for large households and frequent washing. Its strengths are auto dosing, flexible fabric-care programs, Steam Refresh, smart app control and 1400 RPM spin performance, plus 5 star water and energy ratings. A fair limitation is that it is a full-size machine, so it may be less suitable for compact laundries.

Things to consider
Its large 12kg format suits bigger homes best, so households with tight laundry spaces or smaller weekly loads may find a more compact model easier to place and run efficiently.

Water efficiency rating
5 star WELS, 86L per wash cycle
Family laundry fit
Excellent for large families and high-volume weekly washing
Noise level vs category average
6/10 - No published noise figure, but advanced out-of-balance detection and correction suggest typical to better-than-average stability for its class.
Allergy suitability
8/10 - Allergy Care plus sanitise options using hot water or UV light make it a strong choice for allergy-conscious households.
Key benefits
- 12kg Capacity: Handles large family loads, bedding and towels with fewer wash cycles.
- Auto Dosing: Automatically measures detergent to simplify washing and help avoid overuse.
- 1400 RPM Spin Speed: Spins out more water so clothes come out less damp and drying time can be reduced.
- Steam Refresh: Freshens lightly worn clothes without running a full wash cycle.
- Sanitise Options: Offers hot water or UV light sanitising options for laundry that needs a more intensive clean.
- SmartHQ App Connectivity: Lets you monitor and control washing remotely from your compatible smart device.
- 5 Star Water Rating: Uses 86L on the WELS cotton program, helping reduce water consumption compared with less efficient models.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Rated at 275 kWh per year, helping keep running costs lower than less efficient alternatives.
Q: Will this washer fit a standard laundry space with door clearance?
A: Fisher & Paykel WH1260D5 is 850mm high, 602mm wide and 661mm deep. It suits many full-size laundry spaces, but the left-hinged door needs front clearance to swing open and extra depth for hoses behind the cabinet.
Q: Do I need both hot and cold taps for installation?
A: Yes. Fisher & Paykel WH1260D5 uses hot and cold water connections, so the laundry needs both taps available. If the space has only one tap, factor in plumbing changes before buying rather than assuming it can run as a cold-only setup.
Q: Is this a good option if I want one machine to dry too?
A: No. Fisher & Paykel WH1260D5 is a washer only and does not include a drying function. It suits homes with line drying or a separate dryer, but it will not replace a washer-dryer combo where drying in the same machine matters.
Q: Does auto dosing work for every wash program on this model?
A: No. Fisher & Paykel WH1260D5 has auto dosing, but manual dosing is also used in some situations. That is useful if you want to choose the detergent amount yourself or are using a specialised product rather than everyday liquid.
Q: Can I add clothes after the cycle has already started?
A: Yes. Fisher & Paykel WH1260D5 includes Add a Garment with immediate door opening, so forgotten items can be added shortly after starting. The door will only reopen when conditions inside the drum allow it.
Q: Can I start and monitor washes from my phone with SmartHQ?
A: Yes. Fisher & Paykel WH1260D5 is Wi-Fi enabled and works with the SmartHQ App for remote control and monitoring. App use depends on home Wi-Fi and initial setup, so core washing still needs the machine installed and connected normally.
