    Not sure whether it's the same one younger Di....I only remembered the water saving bit of it.

    Ours has a pause button, can press it and add additional items if desired. There is about a 30sec wait before opening the door. Think I've had to do that once. Get pretty used to making sure that everything is in the wash before putting it on.

    Re: new washing machine.

    I bought a front loader about 4 months ago.
    I always had top loaders.
    Now, I find with the front loader I need to use fabric softener, the wash is a lot harder, speacially the towels. You definately need a short cycle or you could be washing all day. On the up side, it uses way less water, way less washing powder and the washing is clean and white.

    Re: new washing machine.

    Which do we do to be right? On the one hand over here "they" are telling us that to make sure bed bugs etc are killed you must wash at 60* which means nearly 2hrs & on the other, we now have liquids that supposedly can wash in temps as low as 15*. We are encouraged to use quicker washing times, lower temps,less detergent but how do you know all nasty stuff ( not just dirt ) is removed if your washing at lower temps? i'm confused

    Re: new washing machine.

    I have always had a Westinghouse top loader washing machine.
    Have not long been given a Fisher/Paykel and it has blown a gasket already. So it will be back to Westinghouse very soon.

    Oopsy, I corrected it. Westinghouse I meant.
    And yes they are made by the same people I believe.

    Re: new washing machine.

    we have a Fisher Paykel top loader but it works like a front loader.
    You can either use normal washing powder or front loader & use the water saving
    button. I love it.... We had a Fisher Paykel last time it was over 15 years old
    so i think they are pretty reliable!
