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 ...
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 ...
