Looks better on the picture
2/5
Looks better on the picture. Once unpacked, you will wonder if that was a right choice. At £340, I would definitely expect more, but as we were after a black washing machine and had to be with smaller depth than 60cm, and delivered quickly, we didn’t have a much choice on the Internet. Looks and feel cheap, the door catch feels like it’s made of plastic and it’s not going to last long. Huge door with single piece of glass, where you need to be careful how you close it, if after the washing cycle you usually leave it open together with the dosing drawer - if you won’t close the drawer first, it will catch it and most likely something will break. The programs dial itself also feels loose. Luckily you can run your programs of your phone, so we won’t be touching it too often.
Warranty it’s only 1 year. You can extend warranty for parts for 10 years, but you need to use Hoover approved engineers, so they will milk the extra cash out of you when paying for call out/labour. Normally I wouldn’t suggest to use appliance insurance, but if you’ll decide to buy Hoover one, you might have to think about getting one.
