Half your wash load and save save save

Advantages: 9kg drum... 'triple A' rating
Disadvantages: Overkill for couples

This Hoover washing machine is great! The best feature is its 9!!!!KG drum--- the average drum is about 5kg and if your like my mother who seems to be washing constantly (she does have 3 boys after all) its a massive help... likewise if your just a couple this would be overkill for you! A 1600 speed spin its a good speed- as I have been told more than this can actually cause damage to your delicates without you realising! And dont worry as this is ...
...you manually control the speed! For those of us who so there bit for the environment it has a 'triple A' rating which is basically the best you can get- this combined with the big drum means its possible for a family to HALVE the cost of the electricity used in during the washing process! Also useful for those looking to save the pennies is the start delay option- for those of electricity economy 7 you can set the delay up to to 12hours and therefore ...

Review of Hoover VHD964ZD

Sally

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

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Hoover VHD 814/Z 14

A good brand gone bad

Advantages: Large capacity
Disadvantages: Poor customer service

We have had Whirlpool machines for 20 years or so because they are fast and have a good capacity. We have had this machine for 18 months. There are just two of using it and the tub bearing failed. Whirlpool want £662 to repair it or provide a new one for £595. We paid that amount for the original one. After some correspondence with Whirlpool they said they would not offer any recompense for the failure even when advised how little use it had had. ...

Review of Whirlpool HDW1011WG/BG

beko washer, the good & not so good.

Advantages: Good value machine, washes well on every programe
Disadvantages: Quick wash cycle takes ages!

...going to happen again. This Beko model was the cheapest one recommended on comparison web sites. Well I have to say I am chuffed to bits with it. It does exactly "what it says on the tin", lovely clean clothes on all programs, even the delicate wash. It is a very quiet machine, with easy to follow controls. My only little gripe with it is that Beko's idea of a quick wash programe is a bit wide of the mark to mine! Apart from that I am very happy ...

Review of Beko WM5100S

The pits

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: Length of time for wash, Poor wash, Leaking, over-sensitive balance

I bought this machine about 6 months ago as a fairly basic work horse machine. It is cold fill and supposed to be green & economical to run - huh! Firstly it takes 2.5 hours for a full cotton wash and I would question how 2.5 hours electricity saves much over heating the water a bit more. I don't have that time to wait for a wash to finish - so what economy? Quickwash is just a swill round - nothing more. The balance mechanism is so delicate that ...
...still dripping - more waste of power and time. On several occasions it has leaked water when taking in either through the soap drawer or today - the door! I like to hang washing outside when possible but half the day has gone before the wash has finished. I did have a fault soon after purchasing and I must say that was cheerfully and speedily fixed. This is the only good thing I have to say. The rest has been anger, irritation, aggravation and ...
