Fisher&Paykel E 522 BRX/BLX

Advantages: Double drawer, independent operating untis in one applicance. Removeable trays - easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Needed replacement parts within the first two years of is life which I had to pay for.

...I have had my Fisher & Paykel dishwasher for seven years and overall I'm happy with it. I had a couple of teething problems in the first two years with seals needing to be replaced and one of the motors which I think is a little poor on the part of the manufacturers particularly charging for replaement parts for a machine that clearly hadn't had massive use ( I do not have a family or throw thrice weekely dinner parties!). The product in itself is a clever design and the two independently operating drawer units are very handy. It has aged well and I'm hoping that it will not give me any further issues in at least the next 3-4 years as the price one pays should guarantee a reasonable lifespan. If it does give me any probelsm it will likely be relaced by a Miele - depending on the level of support offered by the manufacturers... Read review

Advantages: Auto senses dryness of clothes-no timers
Disadvantages: Never use my clothes line!

...I was introduced to the wonderful Fisher and Paykel brand by the New Zealander husband who couldnt believe I hadnt heard of the make. I was never one for using a dryer due to the time they took to dry clothes, noise and scorched or steaming clothes when trying to guess their cooking time. So with a baby on the way, my father in law used his contacts in the UK and got me a Tumble Dryer (at that time they werent stocked by John Lewis) I cannot say how please I am with this make - firstly it is incrediable easy to use - you dont put it on a timer like most UK machine you just put in the wet washing in and select the level of drying - light to extra dry and close the door , press start and it automatically senses if the clothes are dry yet. So no more damp clothes or incinerated to a crisp. Off I go knowing that when the machine... Read review

Advantages: Looks Nice
Disadvantages: Doesn't work most of the time

...We purchased our dishwasher in Decemember 2005 and had problems from the offset. The manufacturer and retailer argued over reponsibility for a while leaving us without a dishwasher that worked. Since then we have had circa 10 engineer visits and 5 repairs. We have been upto 12 weeks wthout a working appliance. The machine has been totally rebuilt and still causes bother. The main problem however is logging a call with Fisher and Paykel as without fail every memeber of their customer service team has been unhelpful. I have waited on several occassions weeks for my calls to be returned. I have never been received an apology from anyone for the lack of service. It is difficult for me to give the product anything but a low rating as our dishwasher has broken down so often. When it works it is ok but no better than any other... Read review
