That's a hard one to answer Rob. They both have their quirks. I'd always favoured Hoover machines growing up - not sure why - I think most of the people I knew tended to have Hoover frontloaders or Hotpoint top loaders so that may be why. Now that I have acquired a few older hotpoints I think I'd struggle to take a side so I might chicken out and opt for a Servis Quartz lol

Here's my take of two similar machines that I have - I think the Hoover has the better styling and is a bit quieter but I reckon the Hotpoint has the edge in terms of function. I'm not sure why Hoover stuck with VE outer tubs for example when Hotpoint moved to the structural foam - it seemed that Hoover were the leaders in the early days but Hotpoint took over later on. I do love both though and wouldn't want to choose but be good to see others thoughts.

I would have to say (2 great washers) but for build quality, programming and running it would have to be the Hoover - "Who Better"..

Hoover, definitely. They were far more consistent than Hotpoint. The quality control at Hotpoint was dire. If you got a good one, it could last you a lifetime. If you got a Friday afternoon model, it would be nothing but trouble. And let's not forget the 95 series' infamous side strips and control panel cracking.

I'd be going with Hoover too, especially for longevity, thinking about a certain A3060 and an A3350 that are still in everyday use at well over 30 years old.
