...so how do they compare Well that's a good question. Choice have recently compared washing machines and a couple of the F&P machines were included.
I've chosen both machines as well as Miele W5873 and AEG L77480. Not exactly a fair comparison from a price perspective, but thought it would be interesting to see how they compared to a 'high-mid end' and 'high end' machine.
A couple of things the photo couldn't get were the Db ratings. Miele was 58, F&P 60 and 57 and AEG 62.
Both the Miele and AEG optimise the wash time part way through the cycle so the initial 143m of the Miele becomes 84m and the AEG from 106m to 71m compared to the F&P machines running for 126m each.
The spin efficiency of the machines is actually pretty good really when you consider they are 1100rpm compared to the Mieles 1600 and the AEG 1400.
Note that these results are using a cold wash and a 3.5kg wash load, which is apparently what people tend to wash.

The issue in much of Europe would be water charges rather than energy when it comes to top loaders. They're not high everywhere and not metered everywhere but in many EU markets the charges for water are steep enough to make you think. | ||
