SmartDrive™ Technology

What is SmartDrive™?

SmartDrive™ Technology

It takes a lot of brainpower to make things really simple. That, in a sentence, is the essence of SmartDrive™. Traditional washing machines are made up of many moving parts. Their complexity also means there's a lot that can go wrong with them. Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive™ machines are made of just three main parts: a small computer, a flexible agitator, and a simple direct-drive motor. This means washing machines that can sense each load, use less water and run with less moving parts.

How SmartDrive™ helps you.

Less Moving Parts = Greater Reliability

SmartDrive™ comprises just three main parts: a small computer, a flexible agitator, and a simple direct-drive motor that allow the machines to sense each load, use less water and run with less moving parts.

Precise Sensing = Better Performance

In-built thermometer to precisely mix water to the required temperature. This saves power by making washing in cooler temperatures possible throughout the year.

Quicker Spin = Reduces Drying Time and Cost

All SmartDrive™ washers spin to a speed of 1000rpm. They remove up to 2 1/2 litres more water per load than other washing machines, reducing drying time and drying cost.
