Would pick something different next time
3/5
I’ve had this machine a month now, and actually if I could go back in time I’d pick something else. In particular:
- Very noisy on wash cycles. I have it in my kitchen, and it’s frustrating to be so noisy compared to my previous machine
- Build quality a bit iffy. Looks nice but draw, door, control knob all feel loose/wobbly and made of cheap plastic that’ll look very tired after a couple of years
-Annoying habit of increasing the wash cycle length AFTER starting. It’s just plain poor design by Hoover and it means I’ve often put a wash on that should finish ten minutes before I need to leave, only to find it’s added another twenty minutes so the clothes will sit in the machine all day :-( My old AEG would always show the longest possible time and reduce it if it could, which works much better in practice
- Poor instructions that don’t explain some of the control panel
On the plus side the drying is better than I expected, but for me the above issues are extremely vexing.
I haven’t tried the WiFi functionality and I can’t think of a way it would be useful…
