What customers say, summarised by AI
- Automatic detergent dispensing saves time and reduces wastage.
- Large drum size and wide door make loading and unloading easy.
- Panel display is hard to read due to poor colour contrast.
- Cleans clothes thoroughly; faster spin leaves them dryer.
- Self-installation may be required if the setup is not checked by delivery staff.
- Instruction manual is overly complex and not user-friendly.

Some teething problems
I'm very happy with the washing machine now - except for one ongoing issue and there was another problem involving the initial set-up. The annoying feature is that the panel containing options is very difficult to read, as it's grey printing on a black background. I have to put on a light in the laundry, then get down on my knees to clearly read the various options if I want to select special features for any cycle. In the store there was good lighting and I think the demonstration machine was lifted up on a platform, so I hadn't noticed that. Also, I paid for delivery with set-up, but on my first wash, the machine began walking away from its location. Obviously the guys hadn't checked that everything was level. It took me quite a while to lever up the machine, adjust the front legs and place it down again, check for level, then lever it up again to firmly tighten the legs in place. As I'm an 81-year-old woman, this wasn't fun! But I did it, and it is now sitting level and works great. Shouldn't have had to do that though. (The reason I didn't get back in touch with Good Guys to complain is that I had no confidence that anyone would take the trouble to do the job right!) If you pay for an installation, insist on trying out a spin cycle containing wet towels before the guys leave!

At a glance
The Fisher & Paykel WH8060J5 is an 8kg front load washer designed for everyday laundry in small to medium households. It stands out for Auto Dose convenience, smart load sensing and strong 5 star energy and 4.5 star WELS water ratings. It suits buyers wanting reliable fabric care without unnecessary complexity, though it is not as feature-rich as more premium models with larger capacity or specialist wash options.

Things to consider
Its 8kg capacity and essentials-focused feature set will suit most everyday needs, but larger households or buyers wanting more specialist cycles and premium finishing may prefer a higher-end model.
Fabric care suitability score
8/10 - good everyday fabric protection with dedicated care for mixed loads and wool.
Water efficiency rating
4.5 star WELS
Family laundry fit
Best for couples and small to medium families with regular weekly washing needs.
Noise level vs category average
7/10 - likely in line with typical front load washers, with no specific low-noise claim highlighted.
Allergy suitability
Moderate - front load design supports thorough washing, but no dedicated allergy or steam hygiene program is specified.
Key benefits
- 8kg Capacity: Well suited to everyday washing for couples and small to medium households.
- Auto Dose: Automatically dispenses detergent and can handle up to 13 washes before refilling, making routine laundry easier.
- Load Sensing: Intelligent sensors detect load size and adjust water and energy use for each wash.
- Fabric Care Programs: Gentle care for four fibre types, including Mixed loads and Wool, helps protect everyday garments.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong energy efficiency by Australian standards to help reduce running costs.
- 4.5 Star WELS Water Rating: Uses water efficiently with a 4.5 star WELS rating for lower water consumption.

- Simple Contemporary Design: Refined styling and straightforward controls make it easy to fit into everyday routines.
Q: Is the Fisher & Paykel WH8060J5 a good size for a couple or small family?
A: Yes. An 8kg front loader is typically well suited to 2 to 4 people and everyday washing, including towels, workwear and weekly clothing loads. It can usually handle queen-size linen, but bulky doonas may suit a larger-capacity washer.
Q: How does Auto Dose work on the WH8060J5, and how often does it need refilling?
A: Auto Dose stores liquid detergent and automatically dispenses the amount needed for each wash. Fisher & Paykel states it can handle up to 13 washes per refill, depending on load size, cycle choice and how much detergent the machine uses each time.
Q: Do you need to connect the WH8060J5 to the app to use all the main wash functions?
A: No. The washer has its own controls for normal day-to-day use, so it can be operated without the app. Connecting SmartHQ adds real-time updates, guides and extra functions, but it is not required just to start and run standard wash cycles.
Q: What space do I need to allow for the Fisher & Paykel WH8060J5 in a laundry cabinet or alcove?
A: The listed dimensions are 850mm high, 602mm wide and 593mm deep. It is sensible to allow extra room for hoses, ventilation and door clearance, especially if it will sit in cabinetry or beside a dryer, so measure beyond the cabinet cut-out only.
Q: Is the WH8060J5 designed to keep running costs lower for frequent washing?
A: Yes. It has a 5 star energy rating and a 4.5 star WELS water rating using 68 litres per wash (WELS registration C45568), and its sensors adjust water and energy use to suit the load. That combination makes more sense for frequent washing than a machine that uses the same resources for every cycle.
Q: Can the WH8060J5 handle mixed everyday loads as well as wool items?
A: Yes. This model is designed to care for four fibre types, including Mixed loads and Wool, so it suits varied day-to-day washing. Woollens should still be washed on the dedicated wool setting and only when the garment care label allows machine washing.
