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

[briggsy's girl]

I have a Fisher & Paykel Aqua Smart. It's a top loader, but designed as a front loader. It has a function for nappy washes, so does a rinse first, then a gentle wash. I've never had any issues with it not washing effectively. Washing time, I'm not sure actually as I've never timed it. I'll report back next time I do a nappy load The Aqua Smart is a water saving machine (as it's designed as a front loader).

i have this too and love it! we've never had any problems with cleaning the nappies. think it takes about an hour from memory (just under maybe)

I don't use any powders or detergents on nappies at all & only wash in cold water. I do strip wash every month or so. Hot water with earth choice d/w liquid. I usually wash once then rinse twice.
I only do that for stains though. I've never had a problem with smells. Bi carb can be used too, which can get rid of smells, so maybe try that

Thanks again everyone.
Yes Lime Slice & Clover, I've tried most of those suggestions, to no avail. Unfortunately the only detergent that doesn't freak my machine out is Omo! Thanks anyway.

47 minutes is the time length on my nappy wash cycle

I LOVE our machine and have no hassles washing nappies.

What machine do you have? Ours in an LP fuzzy logic 5kg turbodrum top loader. It's getting on a bit but I'm pretty sure they still make similar upgraded ones.

Does your washing machine wash your nappies effectively? Yep!

How long from start to finish does it take to wash your nappies? Do you have to pre-rinse them by hand or do any other special treatment? We use fleece liners and cloth wipes which we clean poo off with the little squirt in the toilet first. A full bucket load is half a machine load which I set to hot, gentle wash and it takes 30mins.
