I think my old "tank" is dying...time to replace it.

Looked at Fisher Paykel top-loader washer.

(No I don't want a front loader...PIA if you have to add or take things out during a cycle)

Thing looks brilliant....direct drive motor...no spindle...brushless motor...supposedly the most efficient "green" top loader in NA.

I understand they have great reviews as well.

Anyone own one, or know anyone who does?

They ave more expensive to fix than the American brands because of Fisher & Paykel's reliance on using overcomplicated electronics. I would suggest you purchase an American brand (Maytag or Frigidaire) They are as reliable, if not more, and much cheaper to repair due to the lower cost of parts

i thought i saw them at the bottom of consumer reports' list with reliability.

Know someone who had a Fisher Paykel Washer and Dryer. Washer works great, Dryer was nothing but problems. I myself have a Fisher Paykel Dishwasher and have never had a problem with it. Prolly better sticking with brands you know.

I thought you were trying to say Playschool Fischer Price.

Changed my mind...bought a GE front loader...listed tops on Consumer Reports.

Congrats!
One thing to keep in mind - you have a warranty for 1 year and in most cases its a good idea to purchase an extended warranty on these appliances. If you don't, and require service, use a GE authorized servicer in your area, not GE themselves, this will save you a lot of money on a repair service call.

Good call, my mom got talked into one and the thing is always broken and repairs are expensive. Last I was at her house she was moving the thing into the barn for horse blankets to finish it off
