Rated 5 out of 5Â by jkls45 Nice machine and works well
I purchased the aquasmart washer mainly because our dryer broke, so we started looking at dryers and liked the Fisher and Paykel dryer because it loads on top (the only of its kind) and I am tall. The wash machine obviously matched so we bought that without too much thought. Have had both machines for about 2 months and they work great. The machine washes my clothes well and I like how the preselected washes are right on the machine, so I don't have to think too hard about what cycle to use. Great machine but just one comment-the lid is a heavy plastic on both machines, so you can't really set anything on top when not in use, so not a huge deal.
