+ The most amazing product for value for money. It has everything, all the cycles and more plus the largest capacity you could need. Easy to use. Why buy anything else?

+ It's very quiet and we can now tumble dry inside with the water collection system!

- It seems to take longer to dry clothes than the old dryer

+ Quick cycles, very large drum

- None

+ Excellent product holds loads of clothes with a B rating so efficient.

- Unless you switch it off it will continue with a small cycle to keep the clothes fresh. I find this a bit offsetting.

+ i love everything about this machine, it does exactly what it is supposed to do!! After the summer we have had i thought enough is enough with wet washing hanging around the radiators. I have never had a dryer befor and i am very pleased with this purchase. I went for this model as i likke Hooover and the plus point is that it is a B rated and doesnt cost a bomb to run

- none as yet

+ This tumble dryer is easy to use and figure out. It can take a big load as well, which helps if you already have a larger size washing machine. I like the fact you can select different levels of drying, eg ironing/bone dry etc.. The water container is also large, so it doesn't need emptying every time you use it (even though the instructions say to do so). I would recommend it.

- It is a little noisy and although a condenser dryer, you do need a flow of air in the room. If we don't open a window or the door, the whole room steams up. This isn't a real problem though.

+ You can use the option to either timed drying or the dryer will stop when it reached the desired dryness!
Easy yo empty out fluff and water.

- The air filter is in the front by the door, and dryer sheets get stuck into it, so you would probably have to buy the dryer balls.
The on light is on until you switch off, so if the dryer isn't in the kitchen it may get left on a lot.

+ Huge capacity, sensor settings, quiet.

- Bulky, but ideal for utility room/garage

+ The instructions are easy to follow. The machine is easy to use.

- Front cover over the water container is a bit flimsy.

+ It does everything I need for a family of 5, and is rated as quite economical too. Haven't seen the electricity bill yet though!

- Small size of water collection container, 2 buttons needed to start it up

+ Its a bit early to say as I've only been using it 4/5 weeks but I find the dryer easy to use and the 9kg allows a big load to be done at one time.

- You have to remember to turn it off and empty it or it keeps circulating, other than this everything has been fine so far.

+ I love it - the reason we got it was because it had extra capacity and for a family of 4 washing every day it dries a whole load reasonably quickly. It also has a good energy rating (B) for a tumble drier so makes me feel slightly less guilty!

- Its a bit noisy but we just shut the door and its fine.

+ Fab .....So easy to use.

- Emptying water container!

+ All the features I was after and a good range of drying options

- No direct control of the drying time - can only use a pre-set programme of some type

+ Looks good. Dries well. Good variety of settings.

- Nothing noted so far

+ No venting required obviously. Programmes nice and straight forward.

- Drying time is quite long compared to my last dryer, I expected this one to be as or more efficient at drying in a good amount of time. Still have ended up using my old dryer to dry my towels in.

+ This is so easy to operate my kids can do it, what a major achivement!

+ low level water tank ideal for stacking

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to use.

- Condenser is not efficient and emits water into the room. Will eventually cause the fittings to rot. Will monitor a little longer before deciding whether to return.

+ No Vent Required

- Takes ages to dry even a half load
Tends to gather up large items (Duvet Covers for example) into a ball and turns them inside out despite the occasional reverse tumble.
Have had to order another larger tumble dryer - may not even use it again.

+ Large door and large capacity.

- Probably no noisier than most other dryers - wish they could make it even quieter!

+ Cheap

- Long drying cycle...takes forever. Water tank needs emptying too often.

+ very large capacity, drying time is very good, quiet. excellent product i wish i bought it years ago.

- no bad points about this product

+ energy efficient, good load capacity

- does not give accurate countdown of time left to run a cycle, just less than 60 or less than 15 minutes.

+ I bought thismachine beccause of its large capacity and its energy rating - the only one I could find that is rated B for consumption. Haven't had an electricity bill yet but the signs are good!

- no reverse tumble

+ plenty of drying choices

- could be easier to operate

+ Sensor dryer, turns off when washing is try hence saving electricity. Nice big capacity so can dry lots of washing at once.

- Ill fitting filter, bit hard to remove and replace. Water tray is right at the bottom and not easily accessible, and the front fascia is not easy to get off to get at it, would benefit from being able to plumb it in.

+ Does what it is supposed to do very well. Doesn't take too long to dry, even a full load.

- Noisier than I expected but I suppose our other drier lived in the garage so can't compare.

+ Good size drum capable for drying large items such as bedding.
Leaves clothes soft and fluffy after drying.

- Havent come across any bad points so far, hope it stays that way.

+ Size of drum; modern styling; integrates well with our existing washer; easy set-up.

- None found yet!

+ excellent especially having the larger drum

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Energy efficient, Clothes can be cupboard dry or iron dry according to programme. Easy to empty filters and water tank.

- Havent found anything to complain about so far

+ This machine has transformed my life. I'm a busy mum of 4, it's efficient, quite, fast and if you iron the clothes as soon as you take them out of the drier it takes no time at all. Hurray.

- It's not really a bad point but you have to take the bottom of the machine off to empty the water condenser. Not too much of a problem, my old machine was easier as the condenser just slid out of the bottom.

+ easy to set up, and easy to use

- none - could be a little quieter perhaps but otherwise faultless

+ Reviewer left no comment

- I though all dryers had a reverse action and this one doesn't

+ everything

- nothing

+ This product is a tumble drier not a washing machine therefore I cannot answer the above options. However, if it helps, I bought this product as I needed a condenser drier (no hose to the outside) and the largest possible drum. This product meets my requirements.

- The downside of this product is that it creates a substantial amount of condensation in the room, something I had hoped to avoid.

+ The dryer has a range of drying times which is very useful. it's B rated which seemed to be quite rare at an affordable price.

- it is noisy but that may be just in my kitchen! the water container is at the bottom of the machine which is a little awakward to get to but not a major problem

+ the dryer is great the clothes come out smelling fresh and clean and most of them dont need to be ironed. also the drum revolves every five minuets or so after the dryer has completed its prog, this helps to prevent creasing.

- the only problem i have had so far is a small amount of water leaking from under the dryer,

+ large drum, sensor drying,

- water emptying low down and have to take off front cover,

+ huge load, quiet.

+ Simple to use, reasonable selection of programme sensor and timer options, reverse cycle, efficient, great large drum - dried my king size duvet easily, easily emptied condensed water tank, filter at front of drum

- None so far

+ All good! Has reduced my drying times by at least half compared to my previous one. The sensor drying cycle is perfect!

- None

+ Easy to use.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ large capacity drum.

- fat gtoo noisey to operate!!!

+ I can dry a whole wash cycle in one go and it is very quick and efficient.

- non

+ Large drunm size, easy to use.

- Having to empty the condensing tank.

+ Very large drum which can effortlessly take any washing machine load. Easy to use efficient and fairly quiet.

- None as of yet.

+ Huge drum, loads of different settings and acually dries the clothes to the stated setting ie bone dry does come out bone dry.

- None

+ Easy to use, loads of features including sensor drying.

- Only 6 hour and 9 hour delays to choose from.

+ Very good machine and very easy to use!

- It's white ... be nice to have a choice of another colour!

+ large drum and the delay timer is excellent

- emptying the water box (condenser) you have to pull a panel off first then remove the box as you pull it out and pick it up, the cover that you remove to empty has a small hole in the middle which i assume is suppposed to be there and as you pick it up quite a bit of water spills from it every time.

+ Good size, quiet, easy to use

- Water container could be bigger

+ Good condenser dryer easy to use.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Energy efficient, large drum size, good price.

- Annoying that you have to remove flap to empty water container. Would be helpful if it beeped repeatly when finished so you know load is done and can remove promptly.

+ Good drum size and energy efficent

- Non reversible door

+ it does what it is supposed to do very well, and very quickly

- it leaked all over my floor, had engineer out who told me that the door was very loose and the sealing of the water tank was not good, even after he repaired it it is still leaking small amounts

+ large drum

- clothes need dried twice

+ has a good size capacity to go with the washing machine we have.

- the water containter is rather low

+ Drum size, accessibility,features

- Noise

+ Very quiet and so simple to use. Variety of cycles is very useful together with the large drum which is so good for mum of 3 like me!

- none

+ Features and energy efficiency.

- Sensor doesnt worl well if the amchine isn;t full

+ The size of the drum (9kg) is fantastic and I can easily dry all the washing for our family of 5. The sensor saves energy and also the range of drying settings is good e.g.cupboard dry, iron dry, bone dry.

- None its great!

+ very easy to use, massive load size and convenient (condenser means it can be placed anywhere!)

- haven't found any yet!

+ Largest load at 'B' efficiency within it's price range. Quiet and good build quality.

- Water collection on the bottom with a flimsy flap covering it. Although that would make sense if the unit was stacked.
Would have liked it to be sold in more colours, otherwise little to complain about!

+ Low noise, good price

- Water tank low to floor

+ Drum size, Energy efficiency,

- Plastic panel at front is a bit flimsy and fidly, behind this is the water container so you need to get behind it quite often..

+ Everything

- Nothing

+ Excellent product easy to use, good energy use, large capacity for a large family.

- A bit noisy.

+ you can fit a large amount in at one go there fore making it more efficient.

- when you open the door the condenstion runs down the front of the machine on to the floor, dont know if this happens with all condenor tumble dryers as i have never had one before. Not a major problem though as easily wipes up.

+ Good clean looking machine with good cycles

- Fiddly emptying process for the water collector

+ Huge drying capacity, energy efficient ( I have just got to take their word for this), the fluff filter is easily accessible. Many drying options to choose from. I've only used the sensor settings( BONE DRY) so I don't know how it performs on the timed settings.
It is easy to move around if need be.

- The water container is at the bottom (behind a removable panel) and it can be a bit of a bind getting down to empty but it isn't too bad, the other plus points out weigh this.This is not a problem if you stack your appliances, (like we intend to) it then becomes a bonus point.

+ Large drum. Moisture sensor to control drying.

- Could be easier to empty the condenser tank.

+ drum size and shape makes it easy to load and unload.

- doesn't always dry clothes fully when automatic setting is chosen.

+ The condensing unit is easy to use and doesn't need to be changed to regularly. The drum is large enough to keep up with the amount of washing that our family of six makes. The range of drying options is great and the machine is very quiet when it is running.

- The sensor element is not as reliable as described - most things I put through the dryer initially have melted or burnt - including towels, blankets, zips and baby bedding. Drying options don't give temperatures so it is hard to work out what setting things should go on so they don't melt or get damaged.

+ IFirst of all it was a tumbler dryer not a washing machine.
Good points. Large drum easy filter change.

- Water collecter behind shield and too low down. Awkward to get at and empty without getting down on knees.

+ Large Drum, good programme options, easy to empty water bucket

- Efficiency Rating is only B

+ reliable

- none so far

+ good size drum as i have 5 small children .Turns off when clothes are dry even if you have it on for a longer time.Also I cant understand how people are giving out about the water container as theres really no problem with it at all.

- none

+ Excellent machine, solid and reliable as I've come to expect from Hoover. No problems and it is doing about 15 loads of washing a week!

- Little bit noisy, if using sensor mode to dry clothes it does turn itself back on again when the washing cools down. Otherwise for a busy household this is an excellent machine
