Hoover HBWS 48D1ACE 8kg Washing Machine

This Hoover integrated washing machine from the H-WASH 300 family has a generous 8kg capacity making it perfect for medium to large families. Its packed with clever features to make life easier too, like the hygiene program which deeps cleans your load and the active steam function which helps make ironing easier, relaxing the load and leaving less creases. It also has four rapid wash programs under one hour, including a 14 minute cycle, for those times when you're in a rush. The delay start feature also allows you to programme the start of the cycle, meaning you can take advantage of those time when energy is cheaper, and the built in sensors adjust the amount of water and energy used, saving you money on your bills. With 16 programs including economy, delicates and woollens, there's one for every load meaning you can wash perfectly every time. It has a 1400 rpm spin and is quiet too, with the wash noise level at 56 decibels and the spin cycle at 77 decibels - to compare to a human voice at 60 decibels. Its easily to use, and has a clear LED screen to monitor the cycle.
