Pamela, Frequent user

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: economical takes a good size load
Bad points:: Shallower depth of drum in comparision to previous hoover machine although it is the same as all the current makes, but it is definitely noisier which may be due to it being a cold fill only

Jayne, Bradford Busy mum or dad

Score 4.0/10

Good points:: It does clean the clothes well and a 1400 spin means the items don't take long to dry
Bad points:: When we first used it the spin was nice and quiet but now after a month it is so loud we try to put the was on when we are out of the house. I do not like how if you want to use the quicker was time you can only do a small load and this has a lower spin sped
