The world's first true fabric sensing washer. A machine so intelligent that it senses the average fabric mix of the load and creates the optimum wash cycle based on what it 'feels'.

I really like this washer

"I've owned 4 washers over the last 7 years (we have moved three times) and this is by far the best. The worst was a Maytag Neptune that had all sorts of cleaning faults and became inoperative after a year. It needed a new control board even though it was never wet or abused. I tend to read instructions and follow them.The IWL16 was purchased new from Lowes and I am very impressed with the way it treats clothes, ..." Read Full Review »

Never buy one again!!!!!

"We have had the washer for 3 years. Had it repaired 2 times before warrenty ran out. The Warrenty ran out in Jan and it has broken down 4 times since then- This last time we just went and bought a new Whirlpool washer. Our last WP washer lasted 13 years with no problems. Also with the FP washer - it took a long time to get the parts. Finding someone to work on the washer was also a problem...." Read Full Review »

"This is a fabulous machine for those who have the patience and aptitude to learn new technology. Cleans very well, has a double rinse cycle, super customizable, including 5 macros you can program to dumb it down for other users--that way the technology challenged can simply push one button. However, …"  Read Full Review »

Excellent washer

★★★★☆
4.0

"This has proven to be an excellent washer. We replaced a Maytag Neptune that managed to make it 6 years, and like the FP much better. It holds a LOT of clothes and all the features function as advertised. I have no idea how it "senses" how much water to use, but it does. I've opened it during th …"  Read Full Review »

Cool Spaceship!

★★★★☆
4.0

"This thing sounds like an alien spaceship, it's all muted whirs and clicks and purring. It is quiet even when spinning the clothes dry and very stable. The controls seem like they are going to be complicated but really aren't. It's not too heavy, when I first looked at it I thought it was going to f …"  Read Full Review »
