    Smart technology

    Most wash cycles take less than an hour thanks to Fisher & Paykel's vortex wash. The vortex creates an explosion type movement which thrusts the sudsy water from the bottom of the drum into a through the clothes. By getting the cleaning agents and heat into the fibers of the clothes quicker the clothes get clean quicker.

    Peace of mind

    Fisher & Paykel knows it can be a tough choice picking a washing machine that will last. This is why the WH8560J1 comes with a 10 year warranty on the digital inverter parts and a standard 2 year warranty on the washer itself.

    Whisper quiet

    Enjoy saving money on your electricity bill by washing during off-peak times thanks to Fisher & Paykel's SmartDrive technology which ensures every wash is quiet enough to not wake the baby or disturb you while you sleep.

    Time saving

    Use the 30 minute quick wash program for a rapid turn-around while still cleaning your clothes thoroughly. Ideal if you have a huge laundry pile to get through and for those on the go.

    Super Quiet
    I bought this machine about a month ago after 10 years with a top loader. It's standard wash is fast, super quiet and a joy to use. It has great straight forward controls, that means the kids can be in charge of their own washing with out any drama. It spins the clothes really dry which cuts down enormously on time in the dryer

    Overall great machine
    Bought this machine a few months ago and it's been working perfectly. The Everyday wash is just 1 hr and you can decide what temp you want. You can adjust the pre-programmed cycles to your own settings and save them also which is handy if you like to do cold washes etc.Really quiet spin and fits a lot of clothes in, they come out perfectly clean each time. Great machine so far.
