Product review (1 stars): avoid Fisher Paykel washers
They do a fine job of washing clothes, and you'll probably be delighted ... until something breaks.  It needs frequent service for various ailments, and what is particularly annoying is that the agitator blade will break within a year under normal usage, so you can plan to shell out at least $55 (if you order the part & install yourself) every year!

Just avoid -- there are many products out there that will do just as good a job, at a lower total cost of ownership.

PS:  The company's attitude is "stuff breaks, not our problem".  Funny, I've never used another washer where the agitator breaks ... ever.
