The Fisher & Paykel IWL16 is a top load washing machine with a good-sized capacity. It has 13 wash presets including Permanent Press, Delicates, Hand Wash, Mixed Colors, Wrinkle-Free, Soaking, and Cotton.
The Fisher & Paykel IWL16 can automatically sense the type of fabric which is loaded into the machine as well as the size of the load. This allows it to self-adjust to the proper wash cycle and water level.
If you prefer manual control, the IWL16 has 5 rinse options as well as 6 temperature levels and 6 water levels. This gives you fine control over the wash cycle so that you can adjust the machine for practically any type of wash.
The electronic controls on the Fisher & Paykel IWL16 are easy to operate and are stylishly modern. They combine touch controls and a digital readout that tells your the selected cycle and the amount of time remaining.
The Fisher & Paykel IWL16 is only available in white and the tub is made from heavy-duty stainless steel. This guarantees years of reliable service.
Other features include a lid lock to keep small children safe, and a direct drive mechanism which is more dependable than belt-drives. The Fisher & Paykel IWL16 comes with a two year Parts and Labor warranty.

The Fisher & Paykel IWL15 is a top load washing machine packed with sophisticated electronics that make it easy to operate. The large 3.7 cu/ ft capacity makes it ideal for large families and the “intelligent” features of this machine make it almost “load and go.”
In addition, it is an economical machine to operate. Although the purchase price is higher than similar models, it will save you money on electricity and water. There are loads of presets or you can just allow the machine to select the best wash cycle depending on the fabric that is loaded in the drum.
Despite these automatic features, the Fisher & Paykel IWL15 can be set manually for almost every facet of the wash cycle. There are 5 rinse options as well as 6 water levels and 6 temperature settings. The electronic controls are efficiently laid out and easy to use.
This washing machine has a stainless steel tub which is easy to clean will give extra years of service.
Other features include a direct drive motor (less part to replace), a lid lock for safe operation near young children, and a load sensing mechanism that automatically sets water levels.
The Fisher & Paykel IWL15 is only available in white and comes with a two year Parts and Labor warranty.
In Use
Everything about the Fisher & Paykel IWL15 is easy – it is easy to set up, easy to operate, and easy to clean. It washes clothes efficiently and in operation it is very quiet.
There are an astounding number of presets but the machine can also adjust itself automatically depending on the load weight and type of fabric. This is a first rate machine that will give years of service.
