Excellent Capacity and Performance
I’m really happy with the F&P 12kg Series 7 Contemporary Front Load Washer. The 12kg capacity is fantastic for a family, as I can fit much larger loads and don’t need to run the washing machine as frequently. The machine is easy to use, has a good range of wash options, and operates quietly compared with our previous washer. The clothes come out clean and the overall quality and design of the machine feels excellent. What I particularly like is how practical it is for everyday family washing. It handles everything from regular clothes and towels to larger loads without any issues, and the larger drum makes a noticeable difference. So far, it has been reliable, efficient and straightforward to use, and I’m very pleased with the purchase. I would definitely recommend the F&P 12kg Series 7 to anyone looking for a high-capacity front loader, particularly for a busy family.

Washing Made easy
Easy to use functions, quiet machine, hot and cold cycles. Love how it notifies you after its finished on phone notifications. Only thing I would wish if you didn't have to remote connect phone to get soak function, otherwise happy so far.

At a glance
This 12kg Fisher & Paykel front load washer is built for families and shared homes that want to wash big loads like sheets and towels in fewer cycles. Key strengths include its large capacity, Flexi Dose auto dosing, steam and UV care options, and SmartHQ connectivity. The main limitation is its substantial 66cm depth, which may not suit tighter laundries or cabinetry.

Things to consider

9/10 - Strong program selection for delicates, wool, down and sportswear, plus steam refresh and a wool-certified cycle.
Water efficiency rating
5 star WELS - 86L per wash cycle
Family laundry fit

Key benefits
- 12kg Capacity: Handles large household loads like sheets and towels in a single cycle, helping reduce the number of washes needed each week.
- Flexi Dose Auto Dosing: Stores detergent for up to 21 washes before refilling, making routine laundry more convenient.
- 13 Wash Programs: Gives you dedicated options for delicates, wool, down and sportswear for more suitable fabric care.
- Wool Cycle: Woolmark Black certified cycle is designed for suitable wool garments that need gentler treatment.
- Steam Refresh: Helps freshen lightly worn clothes and relax fibres without running a full wash.
- UV Sanitise Option: Adds an extra hygiene-focused care option for households wanting more than a standard wash.
- SmartHQ Connectivity: Supports app access for real-time updates and extra functions, adding convenience for connected homes.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong energy performance with estimated annual energy consumption of 275kWh.
Q: Will this washer fit in a tight laundry alcove?
A: Maybe not. The cabinet is 66cm deep, so this Fisher & Paykel needs a deeper laundry space than some front loaders, plus extra room for hoses and the door to open fully in front. It is better suited to a full-size laundry than shallow cabinetry.
Q: How often do you need to refill the Flexi Dose detergent tank?
A: Flexi Dose can store enough detergent for up to 21 washes before refilling. It suits regular family routines, but the tank still needs the correct detergent selected and the right dosing settings so loads are not over or under dosed.
Q: Do you need the app to use all wash functions?
A: No. The washer can run its core programs from the machine itself. SmartHQ adds real-time updates and extra functions through the app, so some convenience features may sit there rather than on the standard onboard controls.
Q: Is steam refresh a replacement for a normal wash cycle?
A: No. Steam refresh is for lightly worn items that need freshening and fibre relaxing without a full wash. It is not the right choice for heavily soiled laundry, bedding, or loads that need a standard wash program.
Q: Can this washer handle woollen clothes without shrinking them?
A: Yes, for suitable wool garments. The dedicated Woolmark Black certified cycle is designed for gentler care, but it is not the right setting for wool items labelled hand wash only or dry clean only.
Q: Does the 5 star energy rating help with running costs?
A: Fisher & Paykel WH1260DG5 has a 5 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 275kWh. A higher star rating generally means lower running costs than other 12kg front load washers with a lower rating.
