Hoover VHD 9163 ZI

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... Read review

Advantages: The washer has a large drum, and can hold up to 8 kg.
Disadvantages: Getting to know all the various cycles in beginning

...I went with Hoover simply because it was the only washer that I could find that had a large capacity at a reasonable price. I checked out major electrical stores and they were charging from £500, which was way out of my price bracket. In the end, I purchased it through a catalogue. I wanted a larger washer as we are a large family and was forever washing, and this seemed to be the solution. The drum is massive and you can get 8 kg of laundry in there, which is ideal for bigger families. Loading and unloading of clothes, bedding, towels etc is extremely easy. This is helped by the fact that the machine has a large door. The control panel is easy to see and operate. There is the cycle select dial that can be turned in either direction - door security indicator light - start stop button - timer saver button - delay start button... Read review
