Advantages: NUMEROUS! PLEASE READ ON...... Disadvantages: none significant, but more than 1 yr guarantee would be nice, at the price
young teen took to it easily, always a good thing!!
It has one year guarantee, with an extra 4 years on parts, but you pay labour (has to be repaired by Hoover at Hoover prices). They also offer you 4 years labour insurance at about £180, to be arranged within 30 days.
What I like best is the big drum size, quick 15 minute wash, very high spin, and fact that the drum is quite high so loading isn't such a strain on the back. The porthole is very wide and the door opens wide, although not to a full 180. All in all I think it was a sound buy. I paid £359 from a local dealer including delivery and installation and taking away all packing.

Advantages: fits in a king size duvet Disadvantages: onlly 1200 spin
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.
I bought it from Littlewoods catalogue and it cost me £299.
Setting up and installation
First I had to remove all the plastic packaging and polystyrene and place the washing machine near its permanent position. Next I cut the cable tie that was holding the hose in place. Then I removed four big long fixing screws in the back of the washing machine and covered them with a cap that was provided. Next to fix a bit of insulation sheet to the bottom of the machine with some double sided sticky pads and a couple of plastic caps.
I did not need to adjust the feet as the washing machine was stable and did not hop across the floor.
It only has a cold fill so only one hose to fit ...
