what washing machine do you have/recommend

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

Speaking of washing machine tunes, our neighbours recently bought a new machine, LG I think, and the goodbye tune goes for about 3 minutes, playing a song!! I'm forever looking around the house wondering what the music is, lol!

I haven't done a bowl clean on ours yet, does it do a good job nic?

I have a Whirlpool 8100 Series 8 kg TL. It was 2nd hand when we got it, and close to 15 years old now. I never have things wrapped around the agitator because of the design of the wings on the agitator, the kind of spiral around it (if this makes no sense I can take a pic) so the clothes and nappies are always being pushed away from it, However we know it is on it's last legs, I doubt it will leave Townsville.

I am considering either the F&P Aquasmart or the Electrolux 9.5kg washer. They both have the same number of stars on the water rating and the Electrolux is $100 cheaper and can handle 1.5 kg more. Now if only I could talk DH into buying me a new machine now

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!
