Product review (1 stars): TOTALLY UNRELIABLE
Bought FP washer at Lowes.  Washer is 26 months old.  Should have listened to that little voice telling me to walk away.  Hinge on the plastic lid broke.  Machine goes into the beep beep beep mode every 3 or 4 washes and the load NEVER balances.  Extended Warranty company would not warranty my lid, said it was physical damage and not covered.  Sorry, but the machine does not work without the lid.  I am blessed in that my local Lowes is standing behind the product.  Most people owning a FP machine are having multiple pump and mother board replacements.  Fisher Paykel customer service is NOT customer friendly.  ADVICE:  RUN AWAY, do not buy ANY products with the Fisher Paykel name.
