Product review (2 stars): Not the same Fisher & Paykel
After having F&P washer dryer for 18 years we finally needed to replace the old units and after 2 years I can say they are a real disappointment. They run long, the washer has a short agitator (the ones in Australia have conventional ones) so it gets out of balance constantly if you place have a heavy load to wash. The dryer had to be replaced after fighting with the US Customer Service office as the lock on the drum lid was so loud it sounded like something snapped. They keep saying it does make a noise, but the local store got the field rep involved and he had it replaced, this one is quiet but slow to dry. It's great to save energy but time is also important, washing 4-5 loads of cloths is an all day job with the AquaSmart W&D. Save yourself the headache and but something else, Fisher & Pakel missed the mark on their AquaSmart. Now I have a leak so here I go again calling for service.
