In situ with the dishwasher next door. You can see the difference in depth between the dishwasher and teh washer - both are pushed back as far as possible under the worktop! |

Excellent washer, would like one myself as a back up, my grandparents have had the OPH714D white version for 4 years this October and there have been no major problems, and it performs washes quickly and efficiently.
The only snag is that the PCB timer is slightly unreliable, the last minute on the clock can last for up to 10 minutes, but the spinning is good, even things washed on the Synthetics cycle at 800rpm don't really need a second spin. Hope you enjoy... hotpointfan |

I love the design of that washer... and the icing on the cake: a nice silver finish! I got such a cosy feeling inside reading about your experience with my favourite brand... maybe I ought to print this article out and frame it :-P
I find it astonishing that you've managed to appreciate this product in spite of the fact that you would've been spoiled by her majesty queen 'Miele', being as you are, a consolidated user of the latter. I also remember that you had a not very positive experience with another Hoover in the past: it certainly takes some guts to trust a brand again ;-) I wish you many exhilarating days of trouble free squeeky (figuratively speaking... noisy garments?) clean laundry with your Hoover machine! |

Bingo!! You're a mind reader man... thanks for clarifying that for me!!
As for the time remaining, my Hoover has got a good alibi, cos' it's time countdown display is only an indicative gathering of LEDs and the shortest time it tells me is when the machine is 15 minutes away from the end of the cycle... so even on a drain only programme it'd still say 15 minutes! As for the door release, I'm not 100% sure but I fear that all Hoovers have the time-delay even the top of the range models. Another thing you may find odd on a Hoover washing machine is the lack of anti-crease at the end of a cotton programme, there's only a very quick soft-disposal at the end of the delicates cycle. I don't personally mind this, as I haven't noticed any real difference in terms of creasing, but you still have to peel your garments off the sides of the drum. Later. |

out of curiosity, have you tried the sensitive care option yet? i think you will be very impressed :) it adds more water to the washes, rinses and it adds an extra rinse too :) Tom :) |

Well done Jon, looks great in its new home, better than faffing with the bosch and will be dryer as well, didnt recognise the worktop without it looking like a bar!!
Was great to see you in your new place, next visit coming soon!! For those Oovah sceptics out there, these new machines since the 5yr old Visions has been great (IMHO) and while theres always a rogue one, the only problem I ever had was with the black colour matching on the washer & dryer!! |
