Product review (5 stars): Fantastic
I think that the previous reviewer must have got a bad unit.  This indeed could happen, but to call all F&P appliances crap is painting with too broad a stroke (and incorrect!)  We have had ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS with our dryer.  I will say that we experienced an issue with our washer.  Three months after the warranty went out, the water pump went out.  I called their customer service line and talked to someone in NZ.  I described the problem.  He gave me the authorized repair people in our area.  I contacted the closest and set an appointment for Saturday afternoon.  The tech came to the house and worked on the machine.  He was at our house for a 3.5 hours.  Testing the unit, replacing the pump, watching through several cycles.  At the end of the call, he called F & P customer service and told them it was mechanical failure.  F & P told him to submit the entire bill to them.  All I did was sign.  My Fisher Paykel appliances will be replaced by the same brand...if they ever fail!
