yet more bad news in my books for hoover, upon entering our garage where our hoover ultracare HDV 6 lives i noticed for the 3rd time this year that one of the white plastic lifters from the drum is sat on top of the dryer looking rather pathetic and yet once more i have re inserted it into its slide groove. For the cost of 4 screws, 2 in each lifter Hoover are shattering their own image slowly but surely even in the production of 1 of the most reliable household appliances. The dryer is 2 years old and sounds like an old jallopy squeaking away as it drys. Its poor vent hose may as well be tea bag paper for the holes in it. When is Modern day Hoover going to stop making such rubbish i wonder? . . . . .Nick

Whatever happened to Hoover
As a child I remember loads of people had Hoover products. Though never top of the range they seemed well made and designed. However, over the years their quality has diminished. In the 90s I remember an advertising stunt where Hoover were offering free holiday flights if as much you bought a vacuum cleaner, let alone a washing machine. Apparently, the whole thing was a disaster. I seem to rememeber Hoover being on the news and Watchdog. I believe they lost thousands. I think it was about then there was a shake up and things went down hill. Sadly (and I'm not an expert) Hoover are nothing like they used to be and are now really just Candy under a different name. How things change! | ||

Yup, it was that dreaded free flights campaign that saw the beginning of the end for Hoover... lost not thousands but millions I believe. Jon | ||

i really dont know why mum bought it after the palava over the hoover quattro we had. I must ask but im guessing she must have confused herself with which washer we were on at the time when choosing it and thought the wm 62 was a hoover. Hoover robbed the wm series hotpoint design with the oval buttons in a curved design on the drawer side of the machine which is what this dryer has. nick
