Hoover HSWD166

giveing 100% cleaning

little noise

lots of features

gives off a pungent smell when drying trips the main circuit breaker not particularly good at washing - some clothes (towels) have been harsh and hard when dried!

Variety of settings and three timed programmes

Washing liquid draw not closing properly from day 2 of ownership

Performs to specification. simple to get up and running.

No hot water input/feed. Very wasteful of energy and time. Our combi boiler produces "instant" hot water for a third of the cost of the electric element used, this was NOT clear on information available prior to purchase.

Looks good. Washes well and efficiently. Good range of settings. Quiet.

The feature allowing you to dry to stages such as "iron dry", cupboard dry" isn't very relaible - iron dry shoudl be a bit damp but is frequently bone dry. A nice idea but not particularly effective.
