Strengths: Smart Drive System, great auto-functions, favourite cycle

Weaknesses: None

Every six to twelve months, washing machine manufacturers release a succession of their products, with a promise to offer a better laundry solution than before.

The Fisher & Paykel GW612 is no exception to this novel rule. It is a 6.5 kg top loading washing machine. This autowasher comes with all the features that you would expect from a standard washing machine today.

The GW612 runs on Fisher & Paykel’s unique Smart Drive System. This technology is supposed to be the first of its kind. It comprises of a simple Direct Drive Motor, called the Smart Drive. You will not find any mechanical parts such as belts, pulleys and gear boxes. Less moving parts means more reliability.

The machine automatically cleans the lint after every wash. This makes it even easier to operate the machine. This autowasher even senses the load size and sets the most appropriate wash action for it. Still better, the GW612 selects the optimum water level, conserving the most precious natural resource and eliminating the fabric damage caused by too little water.

Another feature that would give you a reason to look into the Fisher & Paykel GW612 is the favourite cycle. You can customise a wash cycle with the favourite cycle option. Infact, you can design any wash cycle with any wash options and it can start running from any point in the cycle.

Overall, the GW612 is an interesting proposition from Fisher & Paykel.
