Quick cycle and can change speed of spin on most programmes.
On 30 min cycle can only do 800 spin, not a 1400 spin.

Really like the timer delay as it means less ironing is involved as I can set it to come on so its ready when I get home!
None really, however it would be good if there was an option for a full wash with shorter cycle time (ie under an hour)

the machine has lots of good features it is easy to use and has low noise when spinning.I was a little worried that it only had a cold feed but this has turned out not to be a problem at all. This is a great machine with a very good brand name at a highly affordable price...what more could you want?
it's never off in our house LOL

In 26 years, I've had 2 Hoover washing machines, each one better than the last. This one is my 3rd and most improved. It's quiet, large drum and door has large opening. Excellant value for money. Wish I'd changed it earlier!
The only bad point I can find is the time some programs take. But I do appreciate this is to get the maximum quality wash at the minimum energy usage. ie water consumption.

You can change the temperature of a cycle if you wish. The time left on the display is really helpful.
The cycle can be changed by small children turning the dial!

Edward, Birmingham, “Father of two babies!”
Good value and large wash load capacity. Very easy to use, quiet.
Quick wash is too quick (at only 29 mins, next load 133 mins) and only spins at 800rpm, could do with an in-between wash. When putting on a normal colours wash you have to change the temp every time from 60 to 40 degrees. Minor points, overall excellent!

This has been a great purchase, easy to use and a really great price, The noise is what's to be expected with a washing machine, I haven't found a quiet one yet! It does the job and a good job it does too at cleaning the clothes and the spin cycle is great the clothes are just damp and don't take long to dry. I'm very pleased

being able to adjust the temperature and wash time is really good, also the start delay means the washing always comes out fresh

Does everything you need, can control spin speed and wash duration. Reasonably quiet on spin.
The power cable is quite short, certainly shorter than the outgoing machine, I've had to get an extension cable to get it to the socket. I suspect for most people it would not be a problem, but it was for us.

St, West Wales, “Yummy Mummy!”
Takes a huge amount of washing, 1400 spin is great, a variety of different programmes for different fabrics- would definitely buy it again, and is excellent value for money.
Not all cycles have a 1400 spin, but as you can do it at the end anyway it doesn't make a lot of difference!

Soph, Shropshire, “mother with 2 toddlers”
I am really happy with the wahing machine. It washes perfectly every time even on a low temperature. washes large loads. Easy to use and has a count down timer so you know how long the wash is going to take. Very quiet even during spin cycle. The spin is brilliant washing is almost dry when it has finished.
Would have liked a half load function.

Kay, Bromley, “always on the go”
The machine has a great modern appearance that blends in well with my new kitchen! The best feature is the rapid wash - you can do a load in half an hour and its just as good as a longer cycle.

Denise, Co. Durham
Low water usage, quiet spin cycles, large door, bigger drum so you do less washes, ability to choose spin speeds and temperatures - not fixed cycles.
having to turn it on it's side to fit a dust panel on the bottom before using.

Its a great washing machine, great size drum, great choices of programmes, and great to have a programme that does handwash item, save the hassle of doing it in the sink..
Cant think of any bad points ,, its a great washing machine..

Maureen, Clevedon. North Somerset
The large variety and flexibility of the settings. This facilitates the required care for different fabrics without having to run a wash cycle with only a few items in the drum. The large capacity of the drum which has improved the cleaning results because there is plenty of room for the clothes to move around even with a large load.
None as yet but I have only purchased it recently.

Karen, Yeovil, “A normal busy housewife”
Very quiet and smooth. Excellent wash, clothes are cleaner then ever before. Easy to use and understand programs. Extra large door is a bonus. Cold fill for energy saving works well.
Cannot think of any.

easy to use, the large drum is great and the the clothes are pratically dry once finnished due to the great 1400 speed drum

this washer even has a 29 minute wash that washes at 40degrees which i think is good as my last quick wash was only a 30.

Good value for money. Very quiet even on fastest spin
Facia & controls feel a bit flimsy - not sure they will withstand the test of time

Saeed, Grantham, “single dad”
Very efficient and user friendly. 30 minutes cycle is really handy for very small loads or less dirty clothes. Temperature control means the cycyle is shorter and consume less electricity.

Tina, Wokingham, “Busy household, working Mum!”
Big Drum! Very easy to use the cycles and adjust them to ones specific requirements. Also, lock light on panel, lets you know that you can't open the door, handy with a toddler about! Clothes come out lovely and clean! Haven't had a chance to use the stain blaster button yet. Very pleased with purchase.
A bit noisy in spin cycle! As cycles are pre-set have to make sure temp is correct for mixed wash load!

I love it, has transformed my washing and drying times. The spin is great and the programs flexible, even the short ones work well. I would highly recommend this product.

It's a very good washing machine. Especially because it has a washing speed of 1400rpm, so clothes can dry quicker as well as a variety of programmes for various types of clothing.
Nothing bad about it at all really. I only had to read the instruction manual again in the first few washes to get used to it.

really easy to use - like the settings and choices, love the delay option.
A little loud when spinning on a tiles floor but I guess all machines would be a bit noisy on this type of surface.

Nicola, Bexleyheath, Kent
Lots of useful functions. Easy to adjust aspects of each cycle such as spin speed and temperatures. Excellent value for money.
Can be a bit noiser than most but seeing as so much fits in it I've found I don't need to do as many washes anyway.

Julie, Ashford Common
Value for money. To get the equivalent features on other brand names would cost significantly more.
Not strictly a bad point but would prefer the variable temperature to be available in 5 degrees rather than just 10 degrees.

Very pleased with machine, easy to follow instructions. The variable spin and temperature options are excellent.
The door and powder dispenser drawer appear rather flimsy (door probably because it is much bigger than our last machine). The only real minus point is it tends to vibrate rather a lot when spinning at certain speeds, even though it appears to be level.

Margaret, Swansea, “stressed worried unorganised workaholic”
Energy saving (cold fill only), variable temperature button, delay start button, nice big drum for large loads, excellent spin speed - clothes are practically dry!
Would have liked to vary the temperature by 5 degrees not just pre-set options, eg reduce from 60 degrees down in 5 degree options, not just down to 40 and then 30 and then cold only.

Pauline, Tyrone N Ireland
easy to use, lots of option like short wash, easy iron, and spin up to 1400. Bigger drum makes hudge difference.
I haven't seen any yet. Its a bit noisier than my last one but that doesn't bother me.

Large Drum allows less washes. Attractive looking machine. Easy to use. Digital Display 1400 spin cycle
Does not state half load but probably automatically adjusts for the load.

The machine is quiet and efficient and does a load faster than my old one did, and the higher spin speed removes more water.
As usual, there are far more features than I am likely to use!!!!

This machine is very easy to use and has a very large opening for putting the clothes in and out of the drum. the knobs to control the programme are also very simple to understand and I found it quite an easy machine to use.
It can be a bit noisy especially in the spin cycle.

didn't go together very well - there were cosmetic features that were to be attached and they wouldn't fit together as holes didn't match etc.

I find the display which shows how much time there is on a programme very useful. The multi choice of spin speed is also very useful.

Kj, Liverpool
Easy to use, performs well and reasonably quiet. The 1400 rpm spin really helps as it gets a whole lot more excess water from the washing.
The number display is hard to read when close up as number segments appear lit when they are not. You have to stand back to view the numbers clearly. However, this is not a show stopper.
