Washing machine

[RobertNotBob]

Shirley we have our dryer and washer, front loader up on draws. They are on special here at bunnings for $54 dollars, where over $100 when we bought 8 months ago

Our new washer and dryer are both F & P and no problems so far . Dryer works on water extraction so no moister added to the air in the laundry.

I always had F&P back in NZ, got them when I came back here but F&P are not NZ owned / made. They like nearly all the others on the market are all done in the same place. A bit like caravans these days..

Thanks Dot, great idea to elevate the washing machine, I'll have to tell the sister in law to buy a set of the drawers.
FP are manufactured in Thailand, I think.

Then you have to bend down further to open and close the drawers.

Why hasn't your sister in-law got draws ??? (blushing)

FP used to be a NZ company .... not sure now. Regardless they probably are made in Asia somewhere ...., (like Holdens & Fords?)

Bernie & Bruce,
Ray & George do the marking don't you two start or I'll have to give up posting or go back to school.

Bruce I was told that Fisher & Paykel moved to Australia from NZ then went to Asia, Thailand.

I have ordered a Fisher & Paykel top loader 7kg washer from Online Appliances.

Well forget the draws less to wash, advantage to you.

Washer arrived so far very happy with same, one exception you can't wash an item by hand & just spin the water out.
Would definitely recommend "Appliances Online" prompt free delivery, thank you Deborah for your recommendation.

That is one good thing about the machine we have on the boat Shirley.
We can put it on spin & select 400, 800, 1000 or 1400 RPM.
Standard wash was speed spin is set at 800.
