Just what the title says. I own a 2007 Kenmore Elite Oasis and a 1998 Kitchen Aid Prestige dryer.
 
By the way, if I could exchange both of my appliances I would get a Fisher & Paykel Aquasmart/Aerosmart.
 
Yes it does dry nicely. We have had no over dried clothes with it. We had a Whirlpool gas dryer before that, bought it in 1986. We replaced it because the clothes were coming out smelling a little toasted. We use the Cotton or PermPress heat setting and set the cycle control between Optimum Dry and More Dry and the clothes come out dry and fluffy and need little ironing. With the high speed spin of the washer, towels dry in no time. One load is dry before the end of a washer load.
 
I was briefly checking out the F & P at Sears a while back and opening the FL dryer seemed to reveal that it was merely a GE dryer. Similar filter and everything. Is that what F&P is?
Why is the Auqasmart so good?

I have a '97 Maytag Dependable Care washer and an '06 Dependable Care dryer as my daily drivers. For fun, I use an '87 Maytag (bought it used last year...looks like new)
 
We just purchased a Fisher & Paykel Aquasmart washer and Aerosmart dryer. They are outstanding performers. Here's hoping we don't suffer the problems others have reported.
 
Miele here

Washer is the last generation TOL 2888
Dryer is the last generation TOL 4888

I dont highly reccomend them. I much preferred the MOL 2515 which now resides with Michaels mother.
 
Well Frigi and Bob your machines are lined up nicely as is expected here to be a member.
One for washing, one for drying and one for folding.

surely someone could invent this?

WasherTalk, F&P's frontload dryer in the U.S. is sourced from GE (or Camco), that's the only connection with GE. F&P's "native" dryers for the NZ/Aus market are/were smaller capacity, sometimes wall-mounted. I figure the scenario went that they needed a larger-size unit for the U.S. market when their washers were introduced here, so they made a deal with GE, for whatever reasons.
 
Re: My Daily Drivers:

Are my LG Compact Combo, with a Kenmore Portable on top of it. I found that using the rubber safety boots, like on Crutches, on the Dryer Legs, it keeps the Dryer in place on top of the LG Combo, even with a lot of Vibration of the higher 1000 & 1400 RPM Spins and a slightly Off-Balanced Spin as well. They sit on a very heavy Dolly, with Locking Wheels, that I had special made for them at a local Welding Shop. The cost was $250.00 for the Dolly, well worth it too. The owner and one of his heaviest Employees both stood on the Dolly after it was completed, including the Wheels, they both weigh up to at least 250 to 280 pounds each.

I told the Owner, that the Dolly needed to support the Combo at approx 190-pounds and with Water and Laundry, possibly up to 300-pounds.

My other normal use Machines, but not at the time are a 1997 Maytag Neptune "3000-Series" Set {original set, but 2nd edition of them} with a Gas Dryer.

Peace and great Laundry Days, Steve

Sadose,

What modell is your washer exactly?
Is itthe Miele W 4466 wps or the Miele W 4446 wps?
Or none of those two modells?

You are wondering why I´m ask?

Well, I need a new washer soon, my 2 year old AEG is going broken.
At the moment I´m searching a new washer and I´d like to have the same as you!

Dose your machine has the pillow-cycle?

Fisher & Paykel is not found at Sears, only at Lowe's...well, that's the only store I've seen them in.

Hi

My machine is a W4446WPS and it does indeed have a pillows cycle which is very effective indeed.

yes, I saw these F & P machines at a Sears "outlet", we charge the same price for damaged crap, store in Massachusetts.

Isn't is true that the FL dryer is a GE.

I am extremely pleased I have to say. Washing, rinsing and spinning efficiency on all cycles, even the delicate ones are nothing short of superb. The machine has an induction (or brushless whichever you prefer) motor so it's really quiet even at 1600rpm. Build quality is exceptional. I find they do take a bit of getting used to in order to obtain the desired results from it but once you're used it, it's nothing short of exceptional. It has all the programmes that the Navitronic W3985WPS model has but has a simplified user interface, much the same as the W3922WPS model which our Lavamat_Jon has. One of my more worthwhile purchases overall. Hope this helps. :-)

hi guys
i'm currently using the Whirlpool Top Loader 8100 series. I have the 1970's Hitachi on standby tho, just in case i ever want to use it. We don't have a dryer at the moment. The ye old Bendix dryer i had conked out a while ago and got thrown out before i even had a chance to look at it ( was not happy ). We have a whole heap of lines underneath our patio area that pull out for when it rains and things dry well under there.

In order of the washers' positions on 3 walls of the basement with accompanying dryers noted but not placed side by side:
Duet he3t
KitchenAid with black control panel from around 1990, next to the top of the line, with one matching electric and one matching gas dryer
Kenmore Dual Tumble washer, with single belt, motorized drain pump and Italian motor and components inside the old drop door Westinghouse Space Mate design machine
Maytag A806 with blue band on lighted control panel and DE806 dryer
Maytag time-fill Highlander model 102, I think, from about 1961
Creda EcoWash Supa Speed 1000 still going
Miele W1918 on pedestal
Miele W1986 on Pedestal
WP Cabrio dryer with window door
GE Custom V TOL dryer from 1968
Frigidaire DCI58 Filtrator Dryer
And in the first floor bathroom, a Haier 4 lb impeller in the bottom of the tub automatic
Outside under the deck: the KA gas dryer, the WP Supreme 80 2 speed gas dryer and the 1st Kenmore match-all dryer in coppertone with soft heat and modulating valve gas burner and flip-up cover over the deep dish timer dial and start button.
Next to these is the When Hell Freezes Over emergency gas stove that has been turned on twice since 2000, after the 2001 tornado and after the 2003 hurricane. I think it is brown or coppertone, but it stays under a tarp.
