I had my previous wash. machine for 31 years & loved it & was loath to part with it. However, it was a big water gobbler! I needed a large, top loading water efficient machine that didn't take forever to complete a load & this was the only one that could be rebated under the Waterwise Scheme. Some of the reviews I had read made me feel a little uneasy about my choice particularly regarding lint collection & the powder deposits on darker clothes.
My next search was for a low sudsing, phosphate free washing liquid suitable for our grey water usage.I found HeroWash on a web site. Between these two products I am getting excellent results. Soft, clean washes without the need for fabric softeners.
So - the secret to those other problems - sort the clothes correctly, use the appropriate wash cycle, use a good low sudsing liquid detergent, pretreat the stains & don't overload the machine. Reduce the spin speed for anything you don't want spun almmost dry!
The huge range of wash selections are also easy to locate. I think this is a great washing machine!!

Aquasmart washing machine is by far the worst washing machine I have ever used it leaves grey residue on everything no matter how washing is sorted. F&Ps answer do double rinse and do not use eco cycle......thats why I bought it foe water saving feature come on F&P take this rubbish off the market now

I have perservered with this machine for the last ten months. In that time, I have had F&P technicians visit 4 times. The first visit resulted in the drum being replaced as supposedly not all the draining holes had been punched out. Once the drum was replaced, my washing smelt clean however it was still covered in lint. Yes, F&P advised me to change washing powders - I now have laundry stock to rival a supermarket! Still the lint persisted. The local technician implied he didnt want to see me again after the second visit as he deemed there was nothing wrong with the machine. The super technicians from the city then became involved and replaced the program panel thus allowing for greater rinsing cycles, supposedly. Still the lint persisted! In desperation I contacted the Office of Fair Trading who advised to lodge complaint through initial purchaser. After all, I am entitled to get what I paid for. I am happy to report that I am now in the process of returning the AquaSmart and obtaining another machine (NO! not an AquaSmart!).
Credit where credit is due ... through this long, arduous and frustrating period both Fisher Paykel and the Retailer have been super efficient and admirable in their customer service.

I am so glad to read other complaints about this terrible machine! It is by far the worst washing machine I have ever used. Yes, not only does it leave residue on everything but it is also incredibly rough with the clothes. Do not purchase this machine!
