– H-Wash 500 HDD4106AMBCB Freestanding Washer Dryer, Care Dose, A Rated, 10 kg/6 kg Load, 1400 rpm, Black

I decided to purchase this Hoover combined washer/dryer as there isn't space in our kitchen for two appliances and we had converted the garage in our home. I am so pleased with the device that I just wish I'd done this sooner! Our old washing machine was a Hoover and we'd always been really impressed with it so it was the natural choice to choose another Hoover appliance. We chose the H Wash-Dry 500 due to the large 10kg load capacity and also the Wi-Fi capability. The appliance was really easy to install and setting up the Wi-Fi connection was really simple, following the instructions it only took 10 minutes. I was eager to try out the machine and as a family of 4 who are very active I can always count on there being sufficient wash loads available to load up. The 10kg capacity in the washing function is very practical and the huge choice of programmes available on the app means there is a wash cycle for any situation. The machine is so quiet when it is running that you can barely hear it. Using the app I am able to have control over the machine and change to a spin cycle or change to the dryer function. There are many programmes to choose from when drying and I have made use of the refresh cycle when the clothes off the washing line just need a little extra effort to get them completely dry as we move into the autumn months. Overall I would really recommend this appliance to those with a busy family life who need some control over their washer and also anyone for whom space is precious in their home.

This washer dryer has so many features that makes it so easy and convenient to use. The auto dispense detergent is a great feature. No need to add detergent each time you wash. Basically just load in your clothes run your program and it will auto calculate the water and detergent needed saving time and consumption. It works like a petrol tank. Top up when near empty. The phone app has so many programs to choose from and can set when to start the wash and dry. The app will let you know how long remaining and notify you when finished. It has a maintenance section to remind you when the machine needs a clean cycle and top up detergent. Overall the machine operates at a reasonable noise level and the dryer works well and can dry my bath towels after 1hr. Highly recommend this washer dryer.

Firstly a note about the delivery process for white goods like this from Amazon. Be warned: Its a complete joke, do not expect your item when you're advised it will come...it may never turn up... yet you can't cancel it! No correct notifications. I had this problem with a different item, and then this machine turned up on a completely different day and time...luckily we were home. Can't exactly leave it with a neighbour, huh!?! I hope this is something Amazon are working on because it has really let this purchase down, and I felt I had to drop 1☆ because Hoover should be making sure their business partners are providing excellent service. Review I feel the eco rating makes this washer dryer combo great value. Assuming it remains reliable, I would definitely recommend it. I found it better than I expected. I was wary of a combined machine but its been easy to use and the dryer is good too. The washer has a good capacity. I can wash my large superking bedding set, or superking bedspread happily. The dryer capacity is a bit smaller, and may mean splitting large loads to dry them. The door is a good size. There are lots of useful automatic and adjustable features like water hardness to enable the machine to measure the amount of detergent required, and an all in one cycle to include drying, and a timer etc. Can be controlled my mobile app but that's never appealed to me! Was easy to install ourselves. My only real bugbears are the following: 1) There is no kind of fluff filter for the dryer, I don't know if this is standard for combined machines? It means needing to wipe out the drum/door seal and door thoroughly after using the dryer, rather than emptying a filter. 2) The detergent dispenser drawer will not open and close properly when the washing machine door is open. Just bugs me, probably just need to adjust my "loading routine" but it drives me nuts 🙃 N.B. If you use an Ecoegg (excellent eco friendly washing egg) you have to remember to take it out before using the dryer, and remember you cannot use it on cycles over 60° Ecoegg...can you work on this!? Please tap "Helpful" ⬇️ if my review has been useful or interesting. Thank you! 🙂 Makes me feel I'm not completely talking to myself here 😂 All my reviews are genuine and I always update them if I have any issues further down the line with the item. Consumer power! 💪How do we know if something's any good unless genuine people leave reviews?

Had this washing machine for 6 months. Bought it in June. 6 months later the machine control panel collapsed inwards and then the drum stopped working. Ordered another brand of machine for the same price which was delivered today. The 2 delivery guys took the damaged machine away and whilst pulling it out the full top of the machine came off. They stated that this machine has had so many returns due to this issue and within this time frame. Definitely look at other brands and not this one as you will have nothing but issues. I've contacted amazon by chat and they contacted me to which I have been issued a full refund for this product given it was still under warranty. If anyone is in the same position do what I did and get a refund.

I have been using my new washing machine and dryer pretty much daily, putting it through its paces with full loads to mini loads like trainers etc. The performance of the machine is great, the additional feature of being a smart device and being able to remotely control the machine via WiFi is truly a blessing. It’s not something that you would think you need but a techy like my self makes simply jobs even more easier and practical. Just to note when setting up the WiFi make sure you device is also connected to the 2.4ghz network not 5ghz. As pairing this way is required. There are wayyy too many programmes available and to choose from not a bad thing as different wash plans are designed for different types of wash items (note to utilise and get the most of all the programmes you do need to connect and setup the WiFi and remote option as the options on the machine are not the full list but does have the optimal standard was cycles. (I personally find using the app much more easier than the dials it’s self. I am yet to connect the washer to my other home smart devices so I can talk to get the washing started instead of using the app. I did have the underside cover missing but spoke with customer services who instantly sent out a replacement spare part which arrived in no time. Drying function works as expected I was conscious that drying May shrink my clothes so I started with slower cycle and less heat temp, currently had no issues and clothes dry fine.

I have been using this washer dryer for 2 months at time of writing. I have used it personally approx. twice a week, and I live in a houseshare with 4 others so it has seen it's fair share of use. Capacity and washing/drying ability: The main feature of this washer dryer is it's (at time of writing) unmatched capacity - 14kg washing and 9kg drying. This is accomplished partly via sheer size - the unit is extremely deep and the drum fills almost the entire body. I think I can literally fit twice as many clothes inside it as my previous 6kg wash 5kg dry washer dryer. The size is also backed up by washing/drying ability, as I have frequently filled the (giant) drum to 2/3rds or more capacity with heavily soiled and thick clothes, which have emerged both totally clean and also dry throughout, even on the quicker washing modes designed for lightly soiled clothes. Since these loads are so big I often use two washing pods instead of just one, and the manual recomends this for larger loads. Some examples of what I can wash & dry in a single load with no issues: - King sized sheet, duvet cover, two pillow cases, and two medium-large towels. This mostly filled the drum, and took about 7 hours total including 5+ hours drying time. - Three pairs of trousers including a pair of thick cotton joggers, two buttoned shirts, a thick jumper, 3 t-shirts, 3 sets of running shorts, 7 pairs of socks, and 7 boxers. This all fit with plenty of space to spare and washed and dried using the '59-minute' wash setting in about 3-4 hours total. Note that some of the more aggressive washing cycles (particularly the cotton cycle) take an extremely long time - approx 3 hours for washing alone, with lots of very loud spinning. However I have found the faster mixed washing cycles (such as the '59-minute wash') do the job just as well in a third of the time, even with fairly heavily soiled clothes. Controls/UI: The controls on the front of the machine are quite complex and not initially user friendly, requring studying the manual in depth to learn the meaning of all the different symbols etc. Once this is done it becomes a minor but noticable annoyance, as you often need to do lots of cyling through options with touch-sensitive buttons to get all the settings right. This is mitigated by the accompaniying app however, which after a rocky setup (which probably took me 1-2 hours of faff and trouble-shooting) made it a breeze to set up a few custom programmes to use repeatedly as well as coming with dozens of built in programmes for all kinds of washing loads. The optional notifications when a cycle finishes are also useful. Noise: I am overall impressed by the quietness of the unit, with it typically being inaudible through a closed door. The one exception to this is the higher spin speeds (1600 and 1200 rpm) which get quite loud, and have a somewhat annoying high pitched tone. Using the 800 (or lower) speed gets rid of this issue completely however, so I would be happy to e.g. have this installed in kitchen. Reliability/customer service: Due to an error by the amazon technician installing the unit (they did not level it correctly) after about a week of use the drying funcationality of our unit failed. After a call to the hoover-candy service line about this (only needing to wait ~5 minutes on hold) I was connected to a friendly and helpful UK-based support person, who after asking for details of the issue was able to arrange for a technician to be send out within a week to look at the issue - dispite this happening over the Christmas break during peak Covid. The technician was knowledgable and came prepared, and ended up being able to diagnose and fix the issue using a spare part they had brought along (it turns out due to the unlevel installation a fan used when drying clothes had come loose and gotten damaged, and needed to be replaced). Despite having an issue with our unit, I do not think this was the fault of the unit, and I was overall extremely impressed with their customer service to fix it so efficently. Conclusion: While I will need to wait and see what the long-term reliability of the unit is before I can draw firm conclusions about it, I am currently very impressed by it's performance and strongly recomended it. The main downsides are it's noisy high spin settings and confusing controls, but I think these are strongly outweighed by it's incredible capacity and washing/drying capability and the high quality of customer support. While it is quite expensive compared to most washer-dryers, if you are regularly frustrated by your unit's low capacity or poor drying ability I think it is worth the extra cost.

A bit complicated at first but once I understood all the tech it works perfectly

Works great as a washer but why the hell no lint filter. Only used twice as a dryer and won’t be again. The lint stays on the clothes and worse in the drum and door seal. Have to wipe out the drum seals and doors after use or next load gets covered. This is a truly moronic design and clear flaw. Paid £150 extra for the dryer function which can not be used. Only used the washer hand full of times and wish could return
