    Overview

    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 ultra-reliable 8.5kg 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. With the efficient Vortex Wash system, you can select from a range of cycles that take less than an hour to complete. This is a handy option when you are short on time. 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.
    Quick Vortex cycle

    Fisher & Paykel’s efficient Vortex Wash speeds up the cleaning process so most cycles are done in less than an hour. This design forces the water and detergent from the bottom of the drum and into your clothes, resulting in a more effective wash.

    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.

    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.

    Questions & answers

    Hi, Does it have a child safety lock? Thanks Harry · 2020-12-26
    Hi there, The machine does indeed have a lock system allowing you to have piece of mind at all times. Further reading on the lock and how to override can be found on page 19 of the user manual at the link below: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/public/manuals/WH8560P2-Fisher---Paykel-User-Manual.pdf I hope this information helps! Russell Crosdale, Appliances Online
    Hi AO. Will this fit a king size wool doona? It’s flat, not puffy like down. Thanks. Elle · 2020-12-02
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. 8kg capacity washing machines and above are most recommended for king size bedding. within saying this, it is very hard to know for sure without seeing the doona and knowing its weight. If you happen to be close to one of our showrooms I'd recommend bringing your doona down and testing it out in store! kind regards, Appliances Online Bronte, Appliances Online
    I only wash with cold water, does this option exist on the front loader. Thanks Rosemary Old lady · 2020-07-31
    Hi Old Lady, Cold supply only: If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which came with your washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water from leaking out of the hot valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply. Note: your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If you do not connect a hot water inlet hose, your washer will automatically recognize there is no hot water supply and its internal heater will heat the cold water to the selected cycle temperature. I hope this has answered your question Michael, Appliances Online
    Does this machine heat the water. My old machine used cold water and heat the water to the different temperatures. Or does this machine have to connect to both hot and cold tapes. Becaused i am on tank water Beth · 2020-07-04
    Good Evening, Thank you for this question Yes all front load washer will have an internal heater element to heat the water to the correct temperature that you have selected. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
