    Great design stems from curiosity. This is why Fisher & Paykel considers the needs of every type of household from busy families to time-poor professionals. This thoughtfulness produces appliances that don’t just perform tasks, they become integral to your everyday life.

    This high capacity and ultra-reliable front loader washing machine from Fisher & Paykel is a smarter way to get on top of your laundry. This versatile machine features 13 different washing programs to provide the best care for your garments, and with high spin speeds of up to 1400 RPM, the amount of time it takes to dry your clothes is reduced. The Add a Garment function provides greater washing flexibility, as it lets you pause your wash cycle to add or remove an item - a great benefit for busy households. Asthma and allergy sufferers will benefit from the Allergy wash, which performs a hot wash and an extra rinse.

    This unit is powered by SmartDrive™ technology to provide a quiet, efficient, and thorough wash every time.
    Add A Garment

    Missed an item from your wash? The Add a Garment function allows you to pause your wash cycle, open the door and add or remove items, then carry on washing.

    SmartDrive technology

    Fisher & Paykel’s innovative SmartDrive technology consists of three main parts that work in tandem to adapt to every load. This ensures efficiency and provides better care for your garments. Additionally, the machine operates quietly and there are less parts to maintain.

    Large drum with wide door

    The drum in this washing machine has a 12kg capacity, ideal for busy and large families. The large drum and wide door also comes in handy when you need to wash bulky items such as doonas or blankets.

    Allergy Wash

    Designed for Asthma sufferers and people with skin sensitivities, Allergy wash delivers a hot wash to kill dust mites and extra rinses to remove all traces of detergent.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drier is GREAT but we were left to set up and Im still not 100%b sure it’s running as it should. We requested the delivery drivers to do installation / set up but we were told us they were “too busy”

    Questions & answers

    Hi, can you tell me the actual diameter of the porthole door opening please so I can compare it to my 10kg existing machine. Thank you Elly · 2020-11-02
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. The door cavity is 350mm wide. Kind Regards, Appliances Online Milly, Appliances Online
    Hi Does this machine have autofill for the detergents? Sharin · 2020-07-13
    No, currently the only model that features auto-dosing for detergent is this model: WH1260F1 by Fisher & Paykel. Other brands including Bosch and Siemens have Auto Dosing (dispensing) models too. PatrickF, Appliances Online
    Is this compatabke with the F and P dryer WH8560P2 for stacking with a stacker kit? Anonymous · 2019-12-09
    Good Evening, Thank you for this question yes they will suit each other you may also look at the optional extra stacking kit from F&P model No: 428122 Once you add these together you may also want a handycrew person to deliver and stack all three items together which there is a small fee for this service. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
