...This post reviews the HND325 FULL DW and also gives some insight into Hoover customer care. First is original letter of complaint (posted on Hoover's online contact page) and subsequent emails (copy of original letter removed): Dear Hoover, This letter by way of complaint: We purchased an Hoover dishwasher: HND325 FULL DW On 15.6.2006 from Currys. Our complaint is that the print on the control panel seems to be water soluble and has all but disappeared. We consider this to be a manufacturing fault and is unacceptable.
