Candy/Hoover company being acquired by haier

[washerguy02]

Look at this! I hope they keep the hoover brand name if they own the group even tho the new line is rubbish especially the new axis for looks. It would be the end of an era if haier phase out the hoover name.
Just like whirlpool taking over indesit/hotpoint. Haier is worse than whirlpool imo. A rubbish company buying out candy/hoover. Tho hoover/candy aren’t great and the new design ones (bianca and axi) I think look ugly and are built to go wrong.

Ah, Hoover... I hope things will improve for them. Notice the innovative drain feature toward the end of the video of the boil wash that reached 140F.

Such a quality machine.

@logixx...

Dear God!

How did they allow that to happen? Obviously the machines aren't robust enough - and perhaps they haven't been for some considerable time - I remember even the Hoover New Wave back in the 90s, had a suspiciously flexible door. I suppose that was the start of the rot setting in...

All I can say is, I really do hope quality and spares improves under Haier. Candy control has not exactly been beneficial to Hoover.
