Looks like a nice machine. Seen a few reviews where some people have had problems. Thats the only negative. The 8kg drum on this isn't as big as some competitor 8kg but its worth a try. |

Or you could go for one of the John Lewis branded Electrolux machines that come with a 3 year warranty on them as standard. |

I'd avoid the Hoover if I were you. There are better things to spend nearly £300 pounds on. Just have a look through ebay at how many broken recent models there are. Usually quite a few. Bearing failure and pcb failures usually. Hoovers used to be quite strong on bearings like the Six range, Nextra and Candy Smart range but seem to have lost their way. No way of replacing the bearings either.
Spend the £299 on something with a 2 year plus warranty as well. As above, John Lewis Zanny or something along those lines |

As an extremely happy Candy-Hoover customer... I can confidently say that that's would probably be my next model of washer.
I was encouraged to go for another Candy after the positive impression made by my Candy dishwasher in 2003, so... when I needed to replace my Zanussi back in 2004 I considered this brand once more. I couldn’t get a Candy then I bought a Hoover Nextra. Back then there was exactly the same negativity from some about this brand... but I ventured into it and I ended up with many years of peace of mind and trouble free service (which is still ongoing for both dishwasher and washer). There's a general trend involving cost cutting with all manufactures... and a tendency to build 'disposable' products... yes, I am referring to sealed tubs as some1 has already mentioned... and some brands even integrate the drain pump within the tub. I guess, one day in the future rumours will adjust to something like... "Hoover Visions/Dynamics were good washers, but today Hoover bakes rubbish!". There are lots of reviews on many review/appliance sites and the ones I've seen resemble closely to praises and words of satisfaction (some bad ones too as for any other product)... still... all of these reviews must be taken often with a pinch of salt as people write them only after a few weeks of ownership (how telling can that be?). As for eBay, I don't see neither Hoover or Candy to be more present than Hotpoint, Indesit, Zanussi, Bosch and so forth... try to search for washers for spares and repairs or faulty washing machines and you'll see what I mean. But even that can be misleading... all these brands are the most popular around here and you’re bound to find them on similar sites. Having said that, please do your own research... I wouldn't want you to get a lemon and blame me for it :-P PS: I have been positively biwitched by this group and I recently added even more appliances (fridge-freezer and microwave) from them and I can say... so far so good... but it's still to early to talk about reliability with these ones. |

From an owner of a 25 year old Candy fridge freezer (now at nanas) I do take the same look as Candy as you do, but maybe not with as much gentleness as you do :)
I was eying up the Candy Grand'O GOF662 in a local family independent store, seriously considering it as the Bosch WF02865GB/01 we own at the moment has started rumbling, which has been identified by a fellow member as bearings. If it is bearings, the insurance company won't fix it as it has already had 1 repair this year, for a new motor and brushes! Plus its an unworthwhile job, they quote, and have been told through local repairmen. Also, I will be glad to see it go, its very boring to watch, hardly any water used, almost always unbalanced. But, if you want your new washer to last as long as your Hotpoint WMA37 did, a Zanussi or a slightly cheaper John Lewis machine will do the trick, just avoid the Flexidose model, as they are made by Little Swan in Hong Kong/China. :P |

nrones, You are correct, I saw an Askoll on our 2011 Indesit and the Zanussi I have now. Indesit brush motors are by Welling Holding Limted in China, a company owned by the Midea Group Co Ltd. Zanussi brushed motors are made by Nidec Sole Motor Corporation srl. |

newave1 Paulinroyton is correct, his LG is made in China. I wanted this model but didn't have enough for it at Christmas. Great machines. |

Hi Darren. It was my Mums machine, but only noticed the rating plate the other day. Good machine though, very quiet. Manage to see the AEG which I hated. |

Hi Darren. Yeah my LG deffo says made in China. I wonder if the more expensive LG machines are also made in China. |
