Product Overview
Fisher & Paykel 12kg Series 7 Contemporary Front Loader FlexiDose Washer, White WH1260R5

An advanced Front Loader Washer where intelligent sensing meets delicate care. The vibrant 5” touchscreen controls and flexible convenience ensure every cycle is effective, gentle and reliable.
Key Features:
REFRESH WITH STEAM
Gently relax fibres to reduce wrinkles and odours with Steam Refresh. Perfect for a down jacket or duvet, Steam restores shape, softness and freshness in minutes without a full wash. By adding just the right amount of moisture and movement, Steam helps revive compressed down fibres, restoring softness, shape, and improving fluffiness so your garments look and feel their best.
CUSTOMISED AUTO DOSE, IDEAL FOR SILK
Everyday routines are simpler when the details are taken care of for you with Auto Dose. ActiveIntelligence™ senses load size and soil level, Auto Dose delivers the right amount of detergent, and Active Mix blends it with water for a gentle, effective wash. Two FlexiDose reservoirs let you use detergent and softener, storing enough for up to 21 washes when both are used for detergent, or specialised formulas — ideal for Silk, with it’s delicate protein fibres that weaken when wet and need extra care to maintain softness and sheen.
GENTLE AND HYGIENIC
Keep garments hygienic with two sanitising options, both proven to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria1. UV Sanitise works at low temperatures, ideal for heat-sensitive fibres like Elastane that can degrade under high heat. For more durable fabrics, hot water Sanitise delivers a traditional-high temperature clean.
WASHING THAT WAITS FOR YOU
Crease Free gives you flexibility to unload laundry when it suits you. Ideal for Down, which can clump and compress when wet, Crease Free gently tumbles the load while damp, helping separate and loosen fibres. This preserves the natural loft and softness of Down garments and bedding, keeping them looking and feeling their best.
CLASS-LEADING EFFICIENCY
Designed to reduce running costs and environmental impact with 5-star energy and 5-star water ratings, you can trust that your fabric care routine is both effective and sustainable. The SmartDrive™ motor ensures quiet operation and long-lasting reliability, with fewer moving parts for reduced wear over time.

Why Buy?
Intelligent dosing and gentle care for a 12kg front loader built to last
A 5-inch touchscreen and ActiveIntelligence sensing take the guesswork out of laundry, reading load size and soil level before drawing precisely from two FlexiDose reservoirs — enough detergent and softener stored for up to 21 washes. It's the kind of modern front load washing machine that adapts to what's actually in the drum rather than a fixed setting.
That sensing pays off in fabric care: Auto Dose mixes detergent with water via Active Mix for a gentler, more even wash, while UV Sanitise clears 99.9% of bacteria at low temperatures for heat-sensitive fibres, and hot water Sanitise handles hardier loads. Steam Refresh loosens compressed down and eases wrinkles without a full cycle, and Crease Free keeps tumbling gently after the wash ends so items don't sit crushed while you're busy elsewhere. The SmartDrive motor runs quietly and uses fewer moving parts, built for the long haul.
At 602mm wide with 12kg capacity, this front loader suits family-sized loads without demanding extra floor space, and its 5-star energy and 5-star water ratings keep running costs down over years of daily use. The white contemporary finish and clean touchscreen interface read as considered rather than utilitarian, sitting comfortably in a laundry designed with the same attention as the kitchen.
