Advantages: only small amount of detergent needed for a very clean wash Disadvantages: cycles for the 8kg washes are over 3 hours long
This washing machine sounded absolutely perfect - a big 8kg load, 2 short programmes of 29 and 44 minutes, adjustable spin speeds and wash temperature, timer saver, stain blaster, delay start and sensitive care controls. I bought it primarily because of the 8kg capacity and the short 29 minute programme thinking that you could use both simultaneously. Unfortunately this is not the case - the maximum load for the 29 minute programme is only 2kg. and ... ...on clothes). It's really only suitable for a few items of underwear. The 8kg. washes are only on 4 programmes which take an eternity to complete. Even with the Timer Saver button, my towel wash took over 3 hours.

Advantages: neat to look at Disadvantages: Extra functions don't work together to make an easy to use cycle

My biggest complaint however is the fact that I've just had to call an engineer out as my machine stopped full ... ...the filter was clean. The engineer found a 5p coin, and some hair in the out pipe, which he claimed was not covered by warranty, and would have to charge me, unless I extended my warranty for £64.80. My machine is only 9 months old, so the new warranty won't start until December. More worrying is the fact that the engineer couldn't show me how to clear the outlet myself, so does this mean that everytime one of us leaves a coin in a pocket, or a button ...

My last washing machine broke down a few weeks ago and after a painful 13 days my new Hoover was delivered, no it is a washing machine just made by Hoover.
