Nice
Fell for the new Candy Evo's today, ordering a EVO8163D/1 in early February. £279 from Appliances Online. The above model has 'Mix n Wash'system. So excited
Also will be getting the GOC580C later in the year, probably around June. £206 from Appliances Online.
As for the Hoover, great colour if you have the right kitchen!

It is very pretty
But think of the finger marks! Even in the advertising pictures the machine is covered in them, and as someone with bad dermatitis on my hands I constantly have to have moisturiser on them, so I'd spend more time wiping the washer down than It would cleaning my clothes!

Finger marks
Ha ha ha! Oh yes - saw one of these in Currys in the week and whilst undeniably eye-catching, it was covered in fingerprints. Maybe one for Hoover to re-think.
Also, am I right in thinking the 8-Pulse range now only offer a 90 - 60 - 40 - 20 temperature selection? No 30 degrees any more? That seemed to be the case when I looked at one of the models online.
I'm not sure I could ever bring myself to quite buy into the All In One programming idea. Maybe it depends on how fussy one is about laundry. Being able to sling everything into one huge load certainly does make the very long maximum wash times of nearly 4 hours a little more paletable if nothing else.

Dear me I just saw that wash time
FOUR HOURS for a daily wash!!!!??? I do hope there's some kind of mistake there!
Even if I can hold the claimed capacity of 11kg, some older machines could have washed as much as 32kg in that time (8x30 min wash cycles with a 4kg capacity).
Amazing how a bit of crafty marketing can convince people this 11kg washed in 4 hours is preferable to 32kg washed in 8 seperate loads in the same amount of time!

I think the 10kg drums are rated at 74 litre capacity and I suspect 11kg drums will be the same somehow...so realistically you'd only actually get 2 loads from a vintage 9lb loader into one of these. And even then that's nowhere near the same processing rate (though I'd say allowing 30 mins for a wash in the older machine would give you somewhat lightly washed laundry; 45 mins might be nearer the mark). Of course, you might almost be doing two loads for the price of one compared to the older machines, so it depends on your priorities.
Saying that, Hoovers do seem to be pretty good at recalculating the time downwards for smaller loads.
The 3-4 hour cycle times do seem to be becoming quite normal now, albeit for the economy/test institute cycles. Then again I had my nose in the instructions for a basic new Hotpoint recently and even their delicates and wool cycles take about an hour and a quarter! That's a full hot wash for me...

All in one is not a daily wash and doesn't take 4 hours
Hi,
on 11kg machines All in one cycle takes 4hours only if it's soil level is taken to maximum, and with a full load. You can select shorter time if you want + if the load isn't full KG mode will cut the time automaticly. I think the shortest possibility with full load is 2:10 but not sure.
All in one is not a daily wash - it is designed to be a one week wash, where you put your all clothes in together, without mixing colours. Yeah I'd absolutely never use it like that. But there is a big difference between R30wash and this. As far as I know, rapid 30 on Candy (and most of other machine) holds/holded 2-3kg, not 4, and it was there for refreshing and 2 quick rinses. This is a real wash, with 3 rinses, long interim spins etc, so it can't be compared to the rapid or daily cycle in any way.
And at the end of the day, All in one is not the only cycle on the machine. There is a lot more cycles on it to choose from, that can suit anyones timing/needs/anything else. The 8 jets are really strong, much stronger than you'd expect (2 of them even reach the total back of the drum - cause they are multiple directioned), and are superb in washing (with all the spins, distributions and strong actions during the wash) and rinsing performance.
On the models with large display (like this chrome one) you can choose all temperatures from 90 to 0, even the 80 and 70, and of course 30. On the models with 3D display, you can choose only 20. But all models without jets no matter what display, have a 30deg cycle.
I hate that it's not fingerprint proof too
I even hate when I see the fingerprints on the black display of my Candy, I think I'd be wiping this one constantly aswell xD

Perhaps I am somewhat spoilt
In having nothing but vintage hoovers and hotpoints in terms of the shorter wash times, but even the most recent modern machine I had (a beko) took 1hr38 at most for a full length cottons 40 cycle, which was not that unreasonable!
Obviously the 4 hour wash is not the only programme on the machine, but the website is rather misleading to state that this is a daily wash programme. Either way it does suggest that for very heavily soiled full loads this is how long the machine will need to clean properly, I certainly couldn't be doing with that!

On a slight tangent, I've been wondering if the new Hoover 8-Pulse and equivalent Candy models have any design change that addresses the problem of the moulded-in and apparently unblockable water level pressure system, currently attracting criticism from the repairs community.
Is the pressure vessel perhaps now attached to the detergent+water mixing chamber feeding the recirculation jets? That might make it easier to fix or least a smaller unit to replace than the whole tub/drum.
Admitedly, I'm not aware of exactly how the pressure system is set up in their conventional machines, or even the specifics of the mixing chamber in the new recirculating jet machines.

Maintenance wash
Hi again
I am in touch with Candy service/shops in Serbia, and I didn't hear much complains about that. However I see people in UK complained about that a lot, it is probably due to habits where in UK people mostly use 30-40, and in Serbia 90% of people washes their whites at 90 on daily basis.
I've heared once when that happened, that the serviceman told a customer to do the 90wash with and insert a full 1liter of vinigear in the drum and let the machine do the full boilwash cycle with superwash option (that keeps temperature constant and has more vigurous tumbles). He said to me that it worked few times for customers, that didn't call back. It was the code E03 machine displaying btw.
Doesn't make much sense to me, but it seems it got the problem solved (if we are to believe the serviceman)

It sure is a stunning looking machine!
I was at the Currys store in Halifax last month and this model was on display, it did catch my eye.
I went over to check it out and it had finger prints all over the panel and door, it also had a few scratches that were very noticable.

The Grass is always greener on the other side
teknikleespekng; I wish we had such selections here in the States. I am jealous of all of you on the other side of the pond and all the choices you have.
How Funny; I always think the same from this side of the pond and am jealous of the choices, the space and the freedom you have. In the UK we are so over regulated that you cant even buy second hand electrical goods anymore. And try and buy a fridge big enough to keep a weeks shopping in, a vacuum with a PN, A DW large enough to fit a roasting tin in at the same time as the dinner plates. On the + side for us I like the fact that we are relatively gun free and we have 240 volt electric. + a lot more, as I am sure there is so much you also love about the US. If I had the change would I want to swop places, I would have to think very long and hard about that.

We are so over regulated that you cannot buy second hand ele
Of course you can! There are second hand shops, charity shops, jumble sales, car boot sales, market stalls and online websites where you can buy any manner of used electrical goods up and down the country! As long as they are PAT tested (and quite rightly so!) in the case of retailers, you can sell whatever you want!
If it was illegal to sell second hand electronics where would all of our collection pieces come from? The majority of my vintage vacuums came from the British Heart Foundation!

SH electric goods
LOL May be its not only a question of what side of the pond your on, but weather its North or south on this side of the pond then, try and find me a charity or SH shop in London that would risk selling electric goods unless fully recon'd etc. and, yes a private seller can still sell but for a anyone selling as part of there business there is a lot more regulation than just a PAT test. When we had a number of shops selling SH goods the buyer had some come-back but if you buy at a boot fair from a private seller its just a case of buyer- by -aware, I cant think that any-one running a jumble sale would risk selling electrical goods and the same for charity shops so I'm very Surprised you can buy from the British Heart Foundation in London they would not even sell a table light without 1st removing not only the plug and now under new legislation would have to remove the flex and bulb fitting as well. As for your statement * in the case of retailers, you can sell whatever you want!' Sorry but no they can't any longer. I know a lot of people in the SH business and ALL now just take the electrical goods to the disposal site, who have signs up advising people of the Consequences of even thinking of making an offer

North vs. South
Well I lived in Plymouth until recently and there were just as many shops selling second hand electricals there as up here!
Not only that but if it were Government legislation it would cover the whole Country, not just certain areas. If an individual retailer choses not to sell used electrical goods that's their choice, nothing to do with any legislation or regulation prohibiting them from doing so!
Every city I've ever been to has massive charity shops, namely the British Heart Foundation which have nothing but furniture and used electricals, from heated curlers and TV's to fridges, freezers and washing machines!
The picture below shows the British Heart Foundation furniture and electricals branch in Plymouth.
