Just what the title says. I own a 2007 Kenmore Elite Oasis and a 1998 Kitchen Aid Prestige dryer. |

By the way, if I could exchange both of my appliances I would get a Fisher & Paykel Aquasmart/Aerosmart. |

Mike - how do you like that GE gas dryer? Do you find it dries gently and completely? |

Yes it does dry nicely. We have had no over dried clothes with it. We had a Whirlpool gas dryer before that, bought it in 1986. We replaced it because the clothes were coming out smelling a little toasted. We use the Cotton or PermPress heat setting and set the cycle control between Optimum Dry and More Dry and the clothes come out dry and fluffy and need little ironing. With the high speed spin of the washer, towels dry in no time. One load is dry before the end of a washer load.

I was briefly checking out the F & P at Sears a while back and opening the FL dryer seemed to reveal that it was merely a GE dryer. Similar filter and everything. Is that what F&P is? Why is the Auqasmart so good? |

I have a '97 Maytag Dependable Care washer and an '06 Dependable Care dryer as my daily drivers. For fun, I use an '87 Maytag (bought it used last year...looks like new) |

We just purchased a Fisher & Paykel Aquasmart washer and Aerosmart dryer. They are outstanding performers. Here's hoping we don't suffer the problems others have reported. |

Well Frigi and Bob your machines are lined up nicely as is expected here to be a member. One for washing, one for drying and one for folding. surely someone could invent this? |

WasherTalk, F&P's frontload dryer in the U.S. is sourced from GE (or Camco), that's the only connection with GE. F&P's "native" dryers for the NZ/Aus market are/were smaller capacity, sometimes wall-mounted. I figure the scenario went that they needed a larger-size unit for the U.S. market when their washers were introduced here, so they made a deal with GE, for whatever reasons.

Hi My machine is a W4446WPS and it does indeed have a pillows cycle which is very effective indeed. |

yes, I saw these F & P machines at a Sears "outlet", we charge the same price for damaged crap, store in Massachusetts. Isn't is true that the FL dryer is a GE. |

hi guys i'm currently using the Whirlpool Top Loader 8100 series. I have the 1970's Hitachi on standby tho, just in case i ever want to use it. We don't have a dryer at the moment. The ye old Bendix dryer i had conked out a while ago and got thrown out before i even had a chance to look at it ( was not happy ). We have a whole heap of lines underneath our patio area that pull out for when it rains and things dry well under there. Matt |

So, I maybe will buy this washer, only have to wait until the drum bearings of the AEG Lavamat 78800 are finally completely broken. One last question: What did you pay for it? |
