Not sure I'd buy F&P again. Mine are 8 years and still going, but had a lot of trouble with the drier. Washer's fine. Fridge bought at the same is going fine but makes a few odd noises, and the crisper tray broke within 6 months.
Make sure you buy units with time delays, that way you can schedule them to run off peak - very handy if you get off peak rates like flick electric does.
Their washing machines and some fridges tend to be ok I have found, but front loaders wash better. But have a f&p dishwasher, and it is very poor, stuff comes out wet, nowhere near as good as the bosch or asko..
