Hoover OPH714D reviews: Front Loading loading, 7kg capacity washing machine

+ Very pleased with machine, easy to follow instructions. The variable spin and temperature options are excellent.

- The door and powder dispenser drawer appear rather flimsy (door probably because it is much bigger than our last machine). The only real minus point is it tends to vibrate rather a lot when spinning at certain speeds, even though it appears to be level.

+ Wide loading door

- Too many controls- not obvious to operate.

+ The short cycle opportunity and cold water intake are a great advantage.

+ Timer facility
Economy choices
Choice of wash cycles

- None!

+ Time left on cycle displayed. Easy to change temperature.

+ Looks tidy & easy to use

- Programmes are difficult to understand - where's the 40 degrees everything wash??

+ Big door - lots of room for a big load of washing

- Possibly price

+ Quick and easy to use, it has to be for me to use it (or so the wife tells me)!!

- Sometimes full loads need an additional spin.

+ small water and energy consumption
amazing washing and spinning

- it spins so well that the clothes are quite wrinkled, but I can turn the spin speed down

+ all

- instructions could be better and more functions

+ None

- Lasted 3 weeks as started to leak and had to be returned for refund.

+ Drum Size

- quick wash would be better for all programs.

+ Good washer, big load, easy to use and the cycle times are good and the digital timer is helpful. The variable temperture and spin are great and the option of extra spin is good if putting washing in a dryer afterwards.

- Can be noisy when filling and emptying, but not on spin, maybe just because our water pressure is high.

+ I like the size of the machine inside ie 7kg and the fact it is now bigger on the outside, if also looks very nice

+ Huge drum, very eco-friendly, down to 2 washes a week instead of about 5. Really easy control panel, temp control etc. I love it!

+ Good drum size. Very easy to use. Spin ace - 1400, hardly needs any tumble drying!

- None

+ Short cycle time. Smart looking machine. Quiet operations. Clothes come out almost dry after a fast spin.

- nil

+ Large opening for ease of washing laoding plus good weight capacity

- Should turn off completely when wash cycle finished

+ easy to use, lots of option like short wash, easy iron, and spin up to 1400. Bigger drum makes hudge difference.

- I haven't seen any yet. Its a bit noisier than my last one but that doesn't bother me.

+ Size of drum

- Rather noisy

+ Seperate Spin Cycle

- None found at this time

+ Good drum size and very uiet compared to the Hopoint model it replaced

- None

+ You can set the cycle according to the laundry, but then you can adjust the heat to save energy if the clothes are not too soiled.

- Non found yet after four weeks use.

+ Large Drum allows less washes.
Attractive looking machine. Easy to use.
Digital Display
1400 spin cycle

- Does not state half load but probably automatically adjusts for the load.

+ Choice of heat settings and wash time lengths.

- Noise

+ like the choice of programes, the varying spin speeds and overall look of washer

- none

+ washing comes out nearly dry
Very quiet
Fairly easy to work but could be simpler
Cycle times fairly quick

- Settings could be simpler and better described. ie correspond to sybbols/instructions on garments

+ It is in and working

- Would not take old machine away automatically

+ Very easy to use, a bit of a problem with getting the hang of it at first I pressed the timer button accidently and couldn't cancel it at first but found out how in the easy to use instructions. I especially love the big door and the drum is massive. Washes brilliantly gets all stains out and I love the cold wash. My previous machine didn't have that it was also a hoover and bad from the ffirst days, so I was a bit sceptcal at first. I'm very glad I went for this machine reccomend it to anyone.

- No bad points that I can think of.

+ Very efficient and user friendly. 30 minutes cycle is really handy for very small loads or less dirty clothes. Temperature control means the cycyle is shorter and consume less electricity.

- Nil.

+ looks good, reasonably quiet, good spinner

- long cycle times

+ Very easy to use & I love the time remaining function.
Nice large port-hole which makes l;loading easy.

- a little on the noisy side when spinning.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- could do with more features eg half load

+ Noise Levels and looks

- Controls Complicated to begin with

+ Lots of useful functions. Easy to adjust aspects of each cycle such as spin speed and temperatures. Excellent value for money.

- Can be a bit noiser than most but seeing as so much fits in it I've found I don't need to do as many washes anyway.

+ large drum, hand wash feature

- does not have white wash feature

+ easy to use, nice design

- spinning is a bit noisy, otherwise very satisfied.

+ Excellent value and washing machine itself.

- Control settings are not obvious, but manual is good.

+ AAA rating, large drum & options on temperature

- LCD (prefer dial control) and not quiet

+ Very big door makes it easy too load up
As for anything else maybe it would be better too ask after a year not a Month

- Reviewer left no comment

+ effiecient and good to have the time left feature

- does not have a rinse hold facility and it takes too long for the door to open

+ Capacity and spin speed

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to use, good wash-load size.

- Can't think of any.

+ Large drum

- havent found any yet

+ Good selection of programmes & program length time options - my previous machine took too long

- The only failing is on the rapid29 wash there is no option for a higher spin speed ... which mean for heavier items you then need to put through the spin cycle again

+ Very quiet you can choose your wash cycle and time it when to come on the best washing machine i have ever had !!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Relatively quiet, good size drum, good energy rating and further tips for energy saving in instruction booklet.
Allows you to lower wash temperature and therefore cycle time.
Clear display indicating cycle time remaining.

- Has some programmes i personally do not use. other than that no complaints

+ It takes a big load. It's very easy to use and the display gives you all the details you need.

- The control knob is tempting for our toddler to twiddle.

+ Easy to use option dial. Large door opening. Time to end of wash display. Good value price. Smart looking.

- length of time for wash unless you select the 29minute option.

+ Am happy with purchase. As good as expected as far as washing machines go.....

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very simple to use. Looks modern.

- None

+ just fab

- none so far

+ drum size, energy rating, cycle options and price.

- not mounted on castors for ease of movement.

+ speed,reliability,price

- You need to spin your clothes again after washing and the first spin

+ very quite, looks good, price was good,drum size very good

- only me not knowing how to use a digital washing machine

+ Large drum so I can wash everything at once!

- There are lots of wash options that I will probably never use.

+ Works really well and not very noisy like other washing machines you get.

- None really

+ good layout of controls,pretty much self explanatory features,good display too.

- None

+ 30 MINUTE WASH CYCLE

- None at present.

+ good load capacity, good variety of wash cycles

- need to refer quite regularly to instructions at start of use

+ Seeing has my very old machine had been on its last legs for some time i needed a new one that whould be just has good. And i find this machine does just that and more. Its very simple to use and very quiet. Unlike some new machines that say easy to use. I was concerned about the spin speed has my old machine had a high spin speed. But had no need has its just as good and may be slightly better.

- Only 1 downside is the Prewash. My old machine had a separate prewash button which i liked. This has a prewash added with wash cycle and wouldlike a button to be able to deselect if i choose

+ Quiet, looks nice. Easy to use

- When doing a coloureds wash to get the best spin you have to remember to turn the temperature down from 60 degrees. There are very few clothes that can be washed at 60 so a 40 setting would have been better.

+ the machine has a large drum which is great for big loads. It was also very good value for money

- the wash cycle for coloureds defaults to 60degrees and the minimum wash time for this is133mins

+ I find the display which shows how much time there is on a programme very useful. The multi choice of spin speed is also very useful.

- None that I have found so far!

+ Washes well. Good washing time. Looks good.

- Noisier than I expected for such an up to date model.

+ Loads of good features and cycles.

- Noiser than my previous Hoover.

+ i can fit all my washing in as the drum is massive

- my kids can touch all the buttons as there is no lock on them

+ The Size of the Drum

- So far no bad points

+ Easy to use and very quiet, fantastic washing machine

- None

+ easy to use and very quiet

- cant think of any!!

+ I like how you can choose say a colours programme, but then also have the option to decrease the temperature or spin speed if you wish. The door is large and opens very wide to make getting bulky items in and out easier.

- The digital display is clear if you look at it from a distance, but a bit confusing from close up.

+ large capacity,looks nice

- I found this machine dissapointing, reviews on line really built up my expectations, the variable spin speed doesn't vary enough with top speed of 800rpm on econamy wash,the cloths still come out very wet...no where near as good as my old machine. its very noisey, and tends to struggle to balance the load, so therefore jumps about when spinning.......would I buy this again NO!

+ Its easy to use the controls are very easy to understand love the time is given on it as it allows me to know how long is left ..when doing stuff round the house .. excellent spin and easier to dry after .. even my kids can use it .. which in itself is a miracle ..

- None

+ OVERALL LOOKS GREAT, VERY QUIET, EVEN WHEN OUT OF BALANCE, LOVE THE LARGE OPENING DOOR, SO MUCH EASIER FOR DUVETS, COULD DO WITH BEING ABLE TO CUT DOWN WASHING TIMES. SO FAR VERY HAPPY INDEED.

- NOTHING BAD JUST ANOYING LITTLE NIGGLES LIKE WANTING TO CHANGE WASH TIMES, AND SOME PROGRAMMES WILL NOT LET YOU CHANGE SPIN SPEED.

+ excellent wash features

- bit noisy as the housing brackets recommended for fitting underneath didnt come with goods.

+ Very quiet machine with very fast spin speed - clothes are almost dry when they come out

- Haven't found any yet

+ Brilliant machine, very pleased with it. Has a rapid wash which is about 30 minutes but the longer cycles are well over an hour and a half.
Very nice looking no problems.

- None I can think of!

+ Large drum size. Easy to operate once it's been used a few times. Stylish looking and simple controls.

- Quite noisy on the spin cycle. Display is too cluttered, hard to read and can be confusing. Some of the wash programmes limit you to specific wash times and temperatures.

+ The energy efficiency that comes with a large drum capacity and quality brand.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Great machine, relatively quiet with a handy quick wash function. Fast spin makes towel drying easier.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good looks, washes absolutely brilliantly, excellent choice of spin speed, extra large drum for larger loads, love the delay timer - makes the most of Economy 7, very easy to use!

- A little noisier than I would have expected - but that's all plus the wash cycle times are sometimes a little too long - although you can change them, but a lot of them are preset.
Nothing too much to worry about.

+ Spin and temperature over-ride, large convenient drum. Easy to install.

- Some cycle times seem a little long

+ Digital display that counts down to when the cycle will be done

- Would be useful if it 'remembered' the settings for the wash we mostly use

+ Looks good,quiet and works well

- defaults to a temperature rather then having to set it

+ Very low noise, Energy Efficient, and easy to use (Even I can use it)

- None found at this time (the wife might say other wise)

+ Looks good, fairly quiet, high spin speed 1400 rpmso clothes much drier than my old 800 spin machine. Spares are more easily obtainable than some brands

- None that I can identify

+ an ebergy efficient machine with good capacity, loaded with features for a very competitive price!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ delayed start to make use of washing in off peak times
quiet drum for when washing at night
displays time left to plan when to get washing out

- spin and rinse are seperate cycles
no white wash

+ So far reliable and energy efficient The machine lets you know the amount of time the chosen programme will run for and counts down the time til the cycle ends.

- Only takes a maximum load of 2kg to 2.5kg in 29 minute rapid wash cycle.

+ Large drum, quiet machine, choice of programmes, cold fill, looks good

- None

+ Easy to use, (impressed with the 29 minute quick wash cycle) very quiet when spinning.
I like the timer display it tells you how long the programme is for each different wash etc.

- None as yet.

+ Timer Delay, brilliant set it on a night to come on early morning so they can be hung out straight away without sitting in washing machine, makes ironing much easier less creasing. washes well even on sports wash at 30 deg.
makes it a pleasure to do the washing. nice big drum 7kg

- None so far

+ The delay timer

- A bit noisy

+ Very easy to use, large drum and looks good.

+ Good quick wash, 30minutes, can choose 40 or 30 temperature.
Quiet even at 1400 spin.
Generally easy to use with a large door.

- Cannot choose to do quick wash at 60 temperature.
Quick wash only spins at 800 or can choose lower spin speed. However can do 1400 spin after wash and it only takes 10 minutes, so, total wash can be done in 40 minutes.
Powder compartment narrow, care needs to be taken when filling it.

+ Large drum means fewer washes , so making savings on detergent and water usage . Love the pre programme feature, so you can wake up to the washing ready to hang out . Great machine overall .

- Waiting so long for the door release ( 2 Minutes is a bit excessive ) after the wash has finished . Annoying if you are in a hurry . But apart from that cant think of anything else .

+
So far have no complaints with the machine , I have found it very reliable and easy to use
so at the moment very pleased with it.

- None so far

+ Quiet machine, easy to use, large drum, value for money

- no half load feature

+ Very easy to use - ideal for busy people. Leaves clothes clean and noise of drum is not bad for a big machine.

- None.

+ easy to use, very fast, large drum and very quiet
