It's nice and effective... perhaps too effective!
I just recently got the cheaper version of this Hoover 8 Pulse. Mine is 8kg and is equipped with a standard brushed motor and the bodyshell is of a boring white... but I still find it rather pleasing to the eye... at least to my eye.
As for wash times... just as its predecessor (Nextra... still have it here with me), it caters for every possible taste, from extremely short cycles for refreshing a handful of items to mid-length cycles to long and extremely long ones... it's all down to your choice. Fortunatley it still has the legendary A59' cycle suitable to wash a medium load (even reasonably large) of laundry at 60 degrees Celsius (or less, as selected) in under an hour.
It's extremely thoughrough, it uses down to the very last drop of detergent you put in and it rinses to perfection. It has, what Hoover calls a 3D display: unlike the top of the range LCD display, it lacks some features, such as the complete range of temperature selections from cold to 90, so one can only select cold, 20, 40, 60, and 90. 30 degress is available on certain cycles only, but the display will still show 20 degrees.
I am very satisfied with it so far, I hope it's as reliable as its elder sister!
Enjoy your hols every1 ;-)
