When you can’t remember the last time you saw the bottom of the laundry hamper, this Hoover washing machine will help handle the lot. It uses a ProActive Wash System that blends water and detergent before it’s released into the drum to get deep into fibres, making sure even muddy PE kits end up spotless. But if you need to get those school uniforms sorted in a hurry, the Hygiene Plus 59’ is an intense clean in under an hour. But if you’ve already sat on the sofa when you realised you forgot to press start, the Smart Wash feature lets you control it from your phone, so you don’t have to get up from your comfy spot.
