Hoover VHD 814/Z 14

I agree entirely with the previous review. This machine takes forever to wash the large load that I bought it to do. The most suitable cycle that I have found involves setting the dial, and pressing numerous buttons to set the right spin and temperatures. This is fine when I do it, but risky when I'm entrusting the wash to my teenagers!
My biggest complaint however is the fact that I've just had to call an engineer out as my machine stopped full of water, mid cycle. I emptied the drum, and checked 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 falls off, I'm going to have to call out the engineer? Make your own conclusions, but beware!
