Hoover VHC 392 T

Advantages: Quiet, low energy consumption
Disadvantages: Unusable, as door latch disintegrates after a few hours.

...I bought one of these on November 9, attracted by the large capacity and good energy rating. At first I was very impressed - it looks smart, the condensing bottle is at the top so convenient to empty, and it's very quiet. It easily handled the volume of laundry my three children produce and I thought I'd bought a good quality, durable workhorse. However, after four days the fitting on the machine into which the door latches simply disintegrated, falling back into the body of the tumble dryer and making it unusable, as if the door isn't latched shut, the machine won't operate.

Disadvantages: Couple of design flaws that just irritate

...A Hoover is a Hoover, is a Hoover - Unless it's a vacuum cleaner of course! Well how many of us incorrectly talk about using a Hoover? When in fact we're just using another Vacuum cleaner - Just one of those idiosyncrasies of life today how a manufacturers name is somehow more associated with the task or appliance being used, rather than its accurate use. However, in this instance I do have a Hoover! A genuine one. A bright blue one! So, how about a little about the company: Hoover began in America, in Ohio. Eventually it established itself in the United Kingdom, and was a major player in the early and mid 1900's dominating the Vacuum cleaning industry.
