It has 30 different settings! (Combinations of different heat and power levels.) Guess what? It's broken down already.<BR/><BR/>Here in UK nearly everyone has front-loading machines. Therefore, I have never been able to add an item I forgot to the wash. That would be amazing!

We have a Fisher Paykel 7.5kg model which is a smart drive model. Cost a bit for some repairs recently.....but it is about 10 years old, and mother board got zapped in an electrical storm, so cannot blame it. AND.....the spin is soooooo good, clothes nearly dry, and takes about 10 minutes on the OUTSIDE line for sun drying. Great machine, allows smallest loads and large, and we use the grey water on the garden too.surfie999@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868151801037588945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-11577207466210620342007-10-15T16:29:00.000-07:002007-10-15T16:29:00.000-07:00About six years ago I got one of those fancy Fishe...About six years ago I got one of those fancy Fisher-Paykel washers where everything runs by magnets, it sounds like a jet engine and was supposed to be "it". It was priced accordingly. So I got suckered in and I HATED the damn thing. After a couple of years it started leaking and I convinced hubby that we needed to get rid of it and buy an inexpensive GE machine for a third of the Fisher-Paykel washer and I've been happy ever since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-76473796286042847382007-10-15T15:08:00.000-07:002007-10-15T15:08:00.000-07:00Front loaders are normal here in Europe (probably ...Front loaders are normal here in Europe (probably because they take up less space and dwellings are smaller here) and I do agree that it's awful having to take your clothes out over the stuff you've just washed. <BR/><BR/>Give me a normal top loader any day.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997335550343515464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-15769399600552351502007-10-15T13:47:00.000-07:002007-10-15T13:47:00.000-07:00Well....that's food for thought.

I'm short, and I have to stand on tip toe to get clothes out of the top loader. I'll definitely do my research and try not to fall for the sales pitch. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you got to get a new set.

The front loader can handle 2-1/2 laundry baskets at one time. And it only takes 40 minutes to dry that huge load. It is a massive time saver to me. <BR/><BR/>I hope your new W&D work out well for you.Home's Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341869424227521520noreply@blogger.com
