Fischer and Paykel Appliances
Fisher and Paykel are currently seen as an innovator in the appliance industry. Systems like the Dish Drawer dishwashers, Aero Tech ovens, Active Smart Refrigerators, and Smart Drive auto washers give Fisher and Paykel a place in many international markets from Europe to Asia and the home of appliances, the USA.
Fisher and Paykel currently manufacture white ware, laundry, and cooking appliances. The company's best known appliance is the double drawer Dish Drawer dishwasher which claims to be able to wash dishes more efficiently than hand washing or standard dishwashers.
The current Fisher and Paykel product line includes washing machines, refrigerators, range hoods, ranges, freezers, dryers, dishwashers, electric cook tops, and built in ovens.
Numerous Fisher and Paykel products utilize brushless DG electric motor and microprocessor technology from production line equipment to improve efficiency.
The company's trademarked brushless motor is used in the Dish Drawer dishwashers, Smart Load Dryers, and Smart Drive washing machines. Microprocessor based control systems form the basis of Aero Tech ovens and Active Smart refrigerators.
Fisher and Paykel Appliances support the introduction of water factor requirements. To optimize the savings the introduction must be in a very planned and orderly fashion. Fisher and Paykel Appliances support water factor being part of the Federal standard and Energy Star requirements. This would allow all manufacturers to have visibility of requirements to allow planned product design. To have separate requirements coming from various States is likely to mean a variety of requirements that would make optimization very difficult.
In some parts of the world it has been proven that having water factor limits imposed prior to adequate rinsing performance tests being conducted will lead to poor performance, abuse, and in some cases extra water use. This rinse testing is currently being developed and must be completed before the introduction of water factor requirements.
