Washing Machines > 250 GBP to 299 GBP Washing Machines > Hoover

A great machine!

Advantages: Many wash features.
Disadvantages: Hot wash takes a while to run.

This machine is brilliant. A friend recommended this model after our old one died.There are many wash cycles and lots of different features such as rinse only, spin etc. It uses cold water and is A rated for electric. The drum is a good size and the door opens easily.Easy to use and well built.It's quiet when running, and you can slow the spin down easily. I would recommend this with only a slight hesitation about the hot wash which takes a few hours ...

...engineer company who deal with Haier and this is basically the conversation I had with their representative. what is the problem with the machine? ME: seven out of ten times it doesn't spin properly and I get error codes on the digital screen what spin cycle do you use? ME: All of them but mainly sport and quick wash well they don't spin on a quick and sport wash, it's a short spin so they will come out wet ME: whats the point in that? and ...

Review of Haier HW-D 1270 TVE

Bosch WAE28364GB Classixx 6 1400 Express - Good buy

Advantages: Easy to use, fast spin, wide opening door, economy.
Disadvantages: Difficult to move into position without wheels - might be typical of most modern machines ?

...will tell on this, but Bosch were offering a 2 year guarantee). 3. Value for money. 4. Efficient use of water and electricity. 5. Variable spin speed and 1400 spin to speed up drying of towels. So far the machine has met our expectations in every way. It was described as 57cm deep, however the top of the machine is only 53cm deep - the front then gently curves outward to a depth of 57cm so does not look out of place even if not pushed right back ...
...no wheels on the machine so it was VERY difficult to slide into position over our cushioned lino floor - spraying some polish on the floor helped a lot - dont know how easy it will come back out though. Our old machine had 2 wheels atthe back so ou could tilt it back slightly and roll it nto place. Instructions were quite easy to understand and the machine is very simple to use. It is reasonably quiet - on the 1400 spin it sounds as if it is going ...

The Beko WM6143 - Operable by men!

Advantages: silver! good washer, easy to use
Disadvantages: a bit noisy

My first trip away with Mr Minkypolly was a fortnight in North Berwick in spring 2008. We rented a beautifully converted cottage on a country estate with private beaches and acres of misty green woodland. It was the first time we had really had alone together, and I was the happiest I had been in my whole life. It was like a dream... Until the third day. I was reading in the sunlight beneath the big velux window, when he sidled up and spoke the ...
...the washing machine works?" It was of no import that I had the exact same experience of using said machine as him (ie none!) - obviously, as a woman, I had the innate divine power of household appliance know-how, and would be able to operate the washing machine by instinct. He can build furniture, fix cars, insulate lofts and seal bathrooms, but as a man, should not be expected to understand the mysteries that lurk in the kitchen! Similarly, whilst ...

Review of Beko WM6143S

Never again

Advantages: Programme flexibility - you can adjust spin speed, water temp and more for each programme.
Disadvantages: IIt can't go a year without something going wrong!

...tempted me) and never buying Indesit again - I have also had my 'fun' over the years with Customer Service, although once you have their insurance everything's all sweetness and light. I've had plenty of opportunities to get the advice of engineers and they all say to spend over £500 if you want a product that can be relied on, it's a lot, but I'd rather that than buy another substandard product. By the way, I'd have chosen 'very short' under the ...
