The Fisher & Paykel Intuitive Eco IWL16 is an energy-efficient washing machine that is Energy Star-rated. In comparison tests with more expensive machines, the Fisher & Paykel Intuitive Eco is shown to be gentler on clothes. The Fisher & Paykel offers three spin cycles, including a high-speed, 1,000-rpm cycle that removes much of the water from clothes. Owner reviews, however, indicate that although the high-speed spin works well with towels and jeans, it can wrinkle other clothes. The Fisher & Paykel washer has a large, 3.7-cubic-foot capacity tub and 13 specialty cycles.
