11. I would also NOT RECOMMEND Fischer & Paykel appliances!

I bought a F & P washer and dryer and the washer motor has had to be replaced 4 times! The 1st time the machine was under warranty but the rest were at my expense - and it was expensive. I'd heard good things about this appliance brand and thought I'd give it a try but have had many regrets. The problem seems to be with how the machine drains. I called the company to complain (they're manufactured in New Zealand or Australia I believe) the lady asked if I had been "cleaning" the washing machine! Who knew you were supposed to clean something that's supposed to clean for you? I hope these appliances last till I enter senility and my kids have to do my laundry!
