Really Disappointed
Purchased online, Big mistake, I had a 7KG washing Machine thinking I would get a bigger washing machine, so I purchased this 8 KG washing machine thinking it was going to be bigger then my 7KG machine. It's smaller then a 7KG washing machine, contacted the store and was told oh well you purchased it online and a 8KG is bigger then a 7Kg. Never will I purchase from the GoodGuys ever again

Fisher & Paykel top loader 8kg
The machine is a lot smaller than my last one, it was a 9kg but more than downsizing by just 1kg it seems to be much much more. I am very disappointed in the size of the internal drum and have to do many more loads of washing than before. I can only put 1 set of sheets in and it quickly goes off balance, my old machine never went off balance and took more than a sheet set. My suggestion would be when replacing your machine go up a size or maybe two as obviously the sizing has changed and if you have a family this would be a problem

Fisher and Paykel Top Loader Washing Machine
Im very happy with my new washing machine and I was very surprised when I first looked inside the machine and saw there was No agitator, I was wondering how it was going to clean my clothes BUT it did and Iove the fact there's NO agitator now . There are many different WASH CYCLES on this machine also, A great purchase !!!

At a glance
The Fisher & Paykel WL8058G1 is an 8kg top load washer suited to households that want a practical, fabric-conscious machine for everyday loads, bedding and towels. Highlights include a fast 39 minute wash, pillow drum, Extra Care cycle and UV Sanitise option. Its soft close lid and self-levelling feet also help with quieter use. The main limitation is its 750rpm spin speed, which is lower than some higher-end models.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Family Laundry
- Bedding and Towels
- Delicate Fabric Care
- Faster Daily Washes
- Hygiene-Focused Loads
Where it works best
- Family Homes
- Apartments
- Laundry Rooms Near Living Areas
- Rental Homes
- Smaller Households With Regular Larger Loads
Who it’s for
- Singles
- Couples
- Small Families
- Busy Households
- Parents Washing Baby Clothes
Things to consider
Its 750rpm spin speed is lower than some premium washers, so clothes may come out slightly wetter and take longer to line dry than models with faster spin performance.
Large family suitability
7/10 - 8kg capacity is practical for regular family washing, but very large households may prefer a bigger drum.
Quick wash performance score
8/10 - the 39 minute full-load wash is a strong convenience feature for everyday laundry.
Laundry space fit
Fits well in most standard laundry rooms and suits homes where quieter operation is valued.
Water efficiency vs category
7/10 - 4 star WELS with 82L per wash is solid for a top loader, though not as frugal as the best water-saving alternatives.
Key benefits
- 8kg Capacity: Handles larger everyday loads, helping reduce the number of wash cycles needed for bedding, towels and family laundry.
- Fast Wash 39 Minutes: Finishes a full load in 39 minutes, making it easier to stay on top of daily washing.
- Pillow Drum: Designed to be gentler on fabrics, helping protect delicate items during regular washing.
- Extra Care Cycle: Adds a more fabric-conscious option for garments that need gentler treatment.
- UV Sanitise Wash Option: Offers an added hygiene-focused cycle for loads such as baby clothes, towels or other items needing extra care.
- Soft Close Lid: Helps reduce slamming noise and makes day-to-day use feel safer and more refined.
- Self-Levelling Feet: Supports steadier placement and quieter operation, especially useful when the laundry is close to living spaces.
- 4.5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong energy performance under the Australian star rating system for an 8kg top loader.
Q: Will the 750rpm spin leave heavy items wetter after washing?
A: WL8058G1 spins at 750rpm, which is fine for everyday clothes but not especially high for bulky items. Towels, bedding and heavier fabrics can come out a bit wetter, so line drying or extra drying time may be needed.
Q: Can the 39 minute fast wash handle a full load?
A: Yes. WL8058G1's fast wash is designed to complete a full load in 39 minutes, which suits day-to-day laundry when time is tight. It is better suited to regular washing than heavily soiled items that may need a longer cycle.
Q: Is this washer a good fit for a very large family?
A: It can suit regular household washing, but 8kg is better matched to singles, couples and small to medium families than very large ones. If bulky loads are frequent, the tub may feel tight and extra cycles may be needed.
Q: Does the UV Sanitise option replace normal careful laundry sorting?
A: No. The UV Sanitise option is a hygiene-focused wash setting for items needing extra care, but it does not change fabric requirements. Delicates, colours and special-care garments still need the right cycle and care label guidance.
Q: Would this top loader suit a laundry near living spaces?
A: Yes. WL8058G1 includes a soft close lid and self-levelling feet, which help reduce banging and vibration in everyday use. It can suit laundries near living areas, though water fill and spin noise will still be noticeable during cycles.
Q: Does the 4.5 star energy rating help with running costs?
A: Yes. WL8058G1 has a 4.5 star energy rating, which generally means lower running costs than other 8kg top load washers with a lower rating. Actual cost will still depend on how often it is used and which cycles are chosen.
