This Hoover washing machine is great! The best feature is its 9!!!!KG drum--- the average drum is about 5kg and if your like my mother who seems to be washing constantly (she does have 3 boys after all) its a massive help... likewise if your just a couple this would be overkill for you!

A 1600 speed spin its a good speed- as I have been told more than this can actually cause damage to your delicates without you realising! And dont worry as this is a high quality washing machine there are functions which let you manually control the speed!

For those of us who so there bit for the environment it has a 'triple A' rating which is basically the best you can get- this combined with the big drum means its possible for a family to HALVE the cost of the electricity used in during the washing process!
Also useful for those looking to save the pennies is the start delay option- for those of electricity economy 7 you can set the delay up to to 12hours and therefore get the cheap electricity hours :D

The display is in digital which is scary at first for those used to the classic displays but dont worry the washing machine is very easy to use with a good instruction manual... It even tells you how long is left on the wash which is always handy!

The biggest weakness about this washer is that it doesnt have a 'water control system' which means if you want to wash 3 t-shirts the washer will assume theres 9kgs of washing in there and obviously waste a lot of time, water and energy?! But dont worry there is a half load setting and a quick wash setting - make sure you read the instructions as it does have pretty much everything!

At around £400-£450 the washer is quite expensive but its worth it because of the amount of energy and therefore money you will be saving... A good machine for familes but WAY too much for couples!

8/10
