Couldn't let the SmartLoad dryer pass by.

That makes six F&P washers, four topload dryers.

Washer serial 2009, Feb.

Dryer 2010, Apr.

Presumably purchased as a pair so not more than 10.5-ish years usage.

Both assembled in Clyde, OH.

If possible,

I hope you take videos of this set and upload them on youtube.

Congrats! They look to be in excellent condition. Yeah, I can see how you couldn't say no...

Am curious as to what 'soak' and 'softener rinse' do differently.

As even I've figured out, what the manuals say 'X' does and what the machine does when you select 'X' can be two very different things....

Soak option inserts a 2-hr soak period before the wash water drains (usable on all cycles), with a few agitation strokes every minute (based on older models, depending how it's programmed on this series, presumably the same).  Time Saver & Soak should be selectable together, cuts the cycle time in half so 1-hr soak.  Pressing Advance (the double-arrow button right of the cycle progress lights) during the soak aborts it to continue rest of the cycle.

(Intuitive Eco models have a few minutes more agitation after the soak / before drain, Eco Smart models don't.)

Softener Rinse changes Regular and Heavy to a deep/agitated rinse.  Normal rinse is a series of saturation sprays and extraction spins.  Perm Press, Wool Washables, and Delicate run an agitated rinse so Softener Rinse has no effect on them.

Fantastic Glen, another pair saved, so will these be your newest pair now ? do like the black fascia, looks smart as the design.

Any chance you could put the pics of washer interiors together showing old to newer and the changes ?

Congrats, Glenn! You’ve become the Ambassador From Texas for the Fisher & Paykel brand at AW.

They really nailed the soaking protocol on these machines. Flexible timing and no extra water used. I’ve been tempted to try the soak cycle on my SQ, but it’s only about 20 minutes long and uses an extra tub of water. Although it advances to the main wash cycle automatically, there’s no detergent dispenser to accommodate that.

From the videos I’ve seen, F&P has one of the most effective water-saving spray rinse features. Puts the spray rinse on my SQ to shame.
