Hoover VHD862

Big capacity, good variety of wash cycles and ability to change wash temp / spin speed within the program. We use the delay start a lot to wash on Economy 7 electricity overnight and it's all ready to hang out in the morning before work.

Initially needed to keep getting the manual out to remember which wash cycle to use. There could be some simple information somewhere on the front of the machine to show this. Supplied with a short (1m) outlet hose. I needed to go and buy a longer one...

Excellent for large family

The large door and shallow drum make it very easy to load and unload compared to other large load machines.

The drawer is a little flimsy and can catch on the door.

Large drum size, 1600 spin speed, efficient wash, time saver option.

None so far.

Huge drum size has halved number of washes I have to do, very efficient with respect to energy and detergent, good choice of cycles

Like that you can put different spin cycles

would have liked a children's lock of some sort

Easy to use 1600 spin with option of reducing speed Large capacity drum but smaller loads can be accommodated

not found any yet

Drum size, spin speed, sensitive wash

No intensive rinse

This washer is brill! I can fit loads in (which as the mother of three teenagers is vital). It's quick, easy to use, spins well and is just fab. I love Hoover washing machines!

Nothing!

8kg load is excellent, has cut the number of washes we have to do in half! 14min quick cycle is excellent for lightly soiled garments.

a number of the wash cycles have a max 3-4kg which you dont read about in the blurb!
