Oh well it was a good machine for three years, washing anywhere from two to five loads a day. It never missed a beat but after three years of intensive work I have opted to replace rather then repair the bearing and clutch. It was a cheep machine that did a good job getting all the clothes clean but i can not expect it to live as long as a more expensive machine.

Fabulous washer I've had it for over 7 months now and I love it.

Old top loader died and we wanted a front loader as they save a lot of water. We have a baby and use cloth nappies so the machine gets used 5 times a week. So far, so good. Machine washes well, doesn't move around and spin is not too loud. Standard wash cycle is around 1hr 45min - not hours like some other machines. And Quick Wash turns out to be very effective. We don't trust the cheapest manufacturers for reliability and their energy efficiency is often poor. This is just a little more expensive and is made in the same factories as F&P. Also, we bought the $150 warranty extension to take it to 5yrs cover. This will give us at least 5yrs heavy use out of a machine that cost us $650 total (inc warranty extension). Finally, Appliances Online readily price match, so we got it for the cheapest price available but from Appliances Online who deliver next day, are very reliable and efficient, have great customer service, and will be around in 5yrs should anything go wrong.
