One to be excited about! WH8560P3
It is not very often that I get excited about a washing machine. In fact, I dont like washing machines.. ..they are vibrating, are noisy and take ages to finish my clothes. Until now! This Fisher & Paykel 8.5kg (Model WH8560P3) washing machine with Steam Refresh function is a gem. It looks like a standard washing machine, but it has a number of features that make it stand out. Let me begin with the light in the drum that is on when you open the door and will stay on for a couple of minutes when the cycle starts. Such a small thing but it is so handy to see what you just put in the wash. Another feature that has proven itself to be incredibly useful is the Add Garment function. How many times do you start a wash cycle only to discover that there was another piece of clothing hiding somewhere in the house? Well, now you can add a piece to your wash, even if you already started the cycle. In a front loader! Steam Refresh is another function that is incredibly helpful. According to the user manual it is designed to give you the opportunity the quickly refresh clothes that dont need a full wash. Although limited to a maximum of 2 garments at once, this is saving a substantial amount of water and energy. In addition, it is a useful feature to disinfect brand new clothes as well. Piece of mind! The Fisher & Paykel is very quiet due to the excellent drum suspension and the smart drive motor. In fact it is quieter than the bathroom exhaust fan. A quiet washing machine is very important to me as we live in a small apartment. The 8.5kg load capacity is plenty for a couple or a small family, but the machine is also available with higher capacity. The machine has a Woolmark Apparel Care logo and is gentle on your wool garments. All in all a very good washing machine that exceeded my expectations.

Impressed with this front loader so far. Even lights up when emptying the load so that no item is left behind! Very happy that we had next day delivery too.

F&P Washer
Great product, we also have the matching dryer. The look great together and really simple to control with lots of options. Low water use and power use is a big selling point.
