Washing Machine Survey-help me find a washing machine that washes nappies effectively

[LimeSlice]

]Top loading Fisher and Paykell here about 7 years old now, but we have never hadany issues with nappies at all - even on the shortest cycle and one rinse
I swaer by my washer and having had a Simpson, an LG frontloader piece of crud, and two F&Ps the F&P wins hands down.

It is fairly large 8 kg from memory and cost about $500 (7 years ago). Love and hope it never dies lol

I have a bosch front loader and it's wonderful. Every month I do an intensive wash and I've never had to stripwash DD's nappies

Just checking though how do you wash them? Do you do a pre rinse at all? Do you use hot water? Maybe you just need to do a longer and more intensive cycle that drains and replaces the water rather than a higher water usage one. My intensive wash with pre rinse takes 3 hours!

we bought our bosch front loader about 8 months ago and haven't had any problems at all. washes the nappies great! for the really *intense* dirty nappies i throw the bulky stuff down the loo and throw it in the machine. depending on smelliness we either do it on the mixed load wash or on one of the hotter washes. (either 57 mins or 1h12mins). HTH! (this machine is really great on water usage too).
