Hello everyone I've just seen one of my neighbours new washing machine which replaced an old hoover soft wave 1100 which had front fill. Their new macine is a hoover optima OPH714DS. Which is without the red hoover logo with a different shaped door! Has anyone experienced it? It is 7kg, 1400 spin with the new hoover drum '3D'. Whats the noise and program times like? Thanks everyone!

Hey! It looks the spitting image of the Hoover Vision I had not so long ago now which is a shame! All of Hoovers models are starting to look the same arent they!? Ive a feeling its a way of them saving money i.e, the same cabinet which fits more than one type of model maybe!? Hope your neighbour dosnt have any problems with it! After my experience I'd steer well clear of them hehe :) Richard | ||

Hey Richard The cabinet is same as your hoover visions, however this one has the length of program thing, and my neighbour really likes everything as a 60oc cottons takes 1 hour 33mins which is fairly quick! Well one reason they got another hoover was because their old one lasted them a long time, some at like 11 years. They don't know that candy owns hoover and that new machines aren't made aswell as old ones except top of the range ones like Miele or Dyson etc.! LOL! Yeah, you're right about the cabinet thing as hoover has only got two cabinets one for vision and optima and one for nextra! | ||

I have noticed that these machines are on sale quite alot at Currys and Comet etc around the £250 mark. Cant help but think that considering these were supposedly TOL machines not so long aggo now being sold in the budget category, ok so there are new ranges coming out but purrrrlease! - how can a TOL machine go to buget level so quickly? ALso noticed that the chain stores now only offer 1 or 2 hoover machines on display (more models available to order though) which indicates to me a falling popularity for these after folk have learned thier lessons with Hoovers reputation these days. It also strikes me that retailers may possibly be embarressed by the cheap feel and flimsyness that Hoover and Indeed Hotpoint now have to offer across all their ranges so are offering them as an orderable item in which you dont see the machine in person before you buy. Showrooms are now being filled out with 5 or 6 Miele models and around 10 - 12 Zanussis, 5 Aegs and various other better made machines for customers to see. I personally dont believe that online washing machine ordering is as popular as I it seems from such big box discount store chains offering it. Not when they offer a Take Home Now service it would appear the public want more and more of the better built ones to see and take home there and then. R | ||

Regionality
It may be regional. My local Currys in Skegness has a whole line of Hoover machines even the dishwashers which seem fairly rare then Hotties and Indesits, a stand alone Beko display with huge point of sale banners then a big display of new Samsungs. the odd Miele and Zanussi and no AEG at all. At the door is a load of take it home today machines which were all Hotpoint. Steve | ||
