Hoover OPH 148

brilliant drum size, good value and energy effecient!

cycles could be a bit quicker

Bought this as a replacement for my previous Hoover machine which I had been very happy with. So far it's living up to expectations although slightly noiser than it's predecessor. The quick wash cycles are great and it automatically adjusts itself for...

Sometimes jumps around on spin cycle even thought not overloaded and noisier than my previous Hoover machine. Also preferred my 8kg drum. 6kg seems quite small to me now but that's not the machines fault!

So happy with the purchase. Good drum size, great spin, easy to use and looks good. Such good value for money and has all the features/simplicity I need.

Well it seems to wash OK when you eventually work out the cycle you want.

Need to be able to see upside down at the when wanting a spin or rinse cycle. The dial is not definie it is sometime difficult to see. Cycles on dial too close together

Very large drum which takes a large family load. Nice big door. Very useful 29 minutes (30degC) and 44 minutes (40degC) cycles for clothes worn once with normal levels of soiling. Still washes really well when following reduced washing liquid soap...

Soap dispenser is a bit flimsy as other reviews say.

So far I am very pleased with it.... the spin speed has cut my drying time by half... with the bonus of a bigger drum for when I need to do a bigger wash load... nowhere near as noisy as my last washing machine and the settings are easy to understand

nothing major... the normal washes take a bit longer because it's a cold water fill only so takes time to heat to the wash temperature... but there are short wash options if they're needed

Lots of features that are helpful. Looks good.

Does not fill from hot water tap and therefore takes longer to complete cycle.

good, efficient machine , spin speeds are exellent and the large drum although handy can cause problems, see below.

when washing bulky but lite items such as duvets not enough water is put into the machine resulting in an unsatifactory wash , this is all caused by the automatic half load which could do with a manual on/off switch .

Does what it says up to now as havn't used all cycles yet.

Huge opening but drum a lot shallower than expected for a 8kg washer, can still only fit the same single throw into this 8kg as i could with my old 6kg. Detergent draw feels quite flimsy so care taken when opening and shutting other than that it does...

Ideal if you have a big family and need the extra load space. Haven't used all the programmes as yet but sure they all do their job. No negative comments as yet.

None as yet.
