    Great Machine
    Bought this as our top loader died and decided to go with Fisher & Paykel as we already had their dryer and was very satifsied with their customer service couldn't be happier with my choice. Great on water and one of the best in terms of energy. Super quiet, well built, enough capacity for 2 adults and 2 youngs kids, good variety of wash cycles, easy and straight forward to use. Would not hesitate to recommend.
