what washing machine do you have/recommend

[Visitor7]

I have the F&P Aquasmart 8kg, love it, love it, love it!!!! It has all the features of a front loader, except it's a top loader. But the biggest difference is the wash time is slighter longer than a normal top loader, but a little less time than a front loader.
Very gentle on clothes. It has a nappy cycle (plus many more options you wouldn't think a washing machine would need/have!), and the nappy cycle is extememly gentle.

jodi - that's what i wanted to hear! it doesn't say anything about nappy cycle on the website - love that idea (esp seeing DH just gave me the nod on a new washing machine!)

Definitely has one, but you'll have to search for 5 minutes to find it, lol! There are so many wash options it's not funny.
Woohoo on getting the go ahead to get a new one.

i was just talking to him again and said he'd have to come to the shop with me when he's home. he just went "well, if you know what you want..."

i'm not certain, but i'm pretty impressed with the choice comments, and knowing it has gentle spin (and nappy cycle) certainly helps!! i see on the fp website it has 19 wash options!

Just checked, and it has 30 wash options!

far out - even better (or worse!)

gargy - go into Lifestyle then Family options, and you'll find the nappy cycle there.

Another F&P owner here I love our machine. We got a 8 kg one from memory, and it also has settings for lingerie, joggers, doona cover. You can set it to soak, and also do a delicates/handwash cycle. I do DH's dirty workclothes (think coal and mud) and it's fantastic. You can also do a bowl clean, which is pretty self explanatory

I really like it when ours says "Have a nice day" with a smilie face, when it is finished. (Can you tell I'm deprived of adult conversation some days lol)

Have fun shopping BG

We also bought the Aquasmart from Fisher and Paykel after looking at Choice (after our poor old Hoover died after 11 years)

Didn't know the Aquasmart had a nappy cycle though!
