Just wanted to put my bit in on large load machines. I had the 8kg Hoover vision washer which I found superb but six months on it got damaged in my house fire. I last week took delivery of a new hoover 9kg 1400 vision with the induction motor and I am thrilled with it. It is completely silent during washing and mostly during spin as well. THe only time you can hear a faint noise is when it gets to 1200 and above and you can just about make out the motor changes.
For a 9kg wash load the programmes are nice and fast . You can change the length of the wash time on all programmes. a cotton 40C cycle taking between 1.27 and 2.07 depending on how dirty you decide the load is.
It does 3 rinses as default and upto five with sensitive care selected. It has some nice wash actions due aparently to the new induction motor that has much more torque. And the final spin is very very impressive. I have the 1400 model and the clothes feel just cold when they come out of the machine. Probably due to the large drum size and the final spin being 13 mins long( two short slow bursts, then 800 for 1min, 1000 for four mins, 1200 for four mins and 14/1600 for two mins)
The final two rinses are very high level. in fact when I first used the machine I got a bit panicy as more nad more water was taken into the rinse . I've added a couple of pics.
we all know that hoover haven't come up with the best quality machines recently but I really think they have got there act together with these machines. I was really suprised at the weight of these and well put together they are when you take a look inside.
