> What is the general opinion of F & P appliances? Well regarded. My washing machine and clothes drye are F&P. And the few I've had in the last 30 years have been as well. We got 15+ years out of a new dryer and 10+ out of a second hand one. On our 3rd F&P wasjing machine -all second hand. I tend to buy ones with minor faults and resurrect them until they die properly. > Are they reliable? As good as anything around more or less. Good value for money here. Not as cheapas some imports. > Would you buy one? See above. My fridge and my stove are also F&P FWIW - but I got those cheap through a relative.) The fridge has been fine. The stove warming drawer is junk but otherwise OK. RM -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
