Hi guys, I ahve just discovered whilst surfing the australian fisher and paykell site that they are planning to bring out front loading washing machines. I have always thought that Fisher and Paykell would stick to top loading machines after they have developed several effective series of top loading machines such as Smart Drive or Intuitive. The site also had pictures of the new front loaders as well as User Guides. Maybe they are already being sold in the Eastern states of australia? Anyway heres the link if anyones intrested. I will be first in line to buy one when they are put in the stores, i think i'm well overdue a washer update! Matt CLICK HERE TO GO TO mattywashboy's LINK |

No Jon, I think those machines are rebadged Bauknecht machines. And that makes sense because Whirlpool and Fisher & Paykel work together a lot. The link shows a Bauknecht (owned by Whirlpool) machine.

Today whilst shopping in Myer, the first thing i saw was a Fisher and Paykel front loader, the top one on the website. I stood for a while looking at it and then saw the price, $999 which is just a little too much at the moment, i mean hey if its the same price as a Bosch, if i could afford a Bosch i would have one, but i can't so i can't afford a F&P front loader either :( But as soon as the Whirlpool gives me cause for complaint i will be down to that store quicker than a cop in a donut shop. On thing tho, i thought that the front loaders would have the same style drum as the top loaders, its a unique style of drum that i thought would be present in every F&P machine, oh well, maybe in models to come. Thanks Jon and Louis for the links, i don't care if they are rebadged, it says Fisher and Paykel on the drawer so thats good enough for me :) |

How can you fit 7kg in a drum with a volume of 56 liters. There has to be a mistake. Or the volume or the capactiy is wrong. For the americans 7kg is (I think) 14 pounds and 56 liters is 1.96 cu. ft. |

The 56 liters stands for the quantity of water it will use, not for capacity since you´re getting 7 kg (14 lb) or 2.8 Cu. Ft aprox specification (I don´t know the exact number for 14 lb in Cu. Ft.) |

Actually if you didn't have any repairs in those 6 years it wasn't too bad. My brother and sister in law had a Bauknecht washer that had three repairs or so in the first year. After that it needed another repair that would have costed them around $500.- if they had had to pay the full price for it. And then in the fifth year it broke down again. And out it went!

"Optimised for Australian Conditions" means "We scrape off the Beko sticker and whack on a Fisher and Paykel sticker". Doesn't work any better but it sells better. Choice's number 1 machine in the latest test was an Ariston, wasn't it? a 7kg front loader?? Chris. |
