My new hot point tumble dryer

"Great product. I think it is quite quiet for the kind of product that it is. The water catchment tank is so easy to empty and see when it requires emptying as it’s built into the door. The WiFi function means you can set it to run and stop from your phone via the app"

Great product

"I am really pleased with this Hoover Tumble Dryer, the sound is really quiet, when I put clothes inside and select which programme I want, I find that it finishes quickly and the clothing is dry, it doesn’t take long, I don’t find that the room gets hot either , I also like the water tank in the door, I’ve never had this before but it is a brilliant idea, I can empty the water from the door very easily, it isn’t difficult to take the water tank out of the door and put it back once the water is gone, it slots in and out of the door without a problem, I definitely recommend this , it is really good and so easy to use

An overly complicated tumble dryer with a bad design flaw

"How difficult can a tumble dryer be? Well, my previous machine was dead simple. Put clothes in, turn dial, go. Simple. Then there's this machine. Setting it up to WiFi was straightforward enough. The instructions are written in poor English grammar and have been translated by a non-native English speaker. Still, they make just about enough sense to understand. Using it for the first time there were lights flashing everywhere, like being in Las Vegas, lots of bleeps and chirps, but I cannot get it to to start.

Back to the Instruction manual to figure out what button(s) I need to press to to get this machine to turn on. I’m a train driver, I’m used to complicated sequences and a plethora of buttons but this thing has me perplexed. How my mother in her 70’s would be expected to figure this machine out is beyond me, she calls me every day to ask me how to do something easy on her phone, so this would be nigh impossible for her.

10 minutes later, a few button presses, some frustration and hey presto, I got it to start. Straight away I was not impressed by the noise it made. It is noisier than my old machine and it’s quite a concerning sound to be fair. Now because this is brand new and the first time I have used it I don't know if I have a defective machine or whether that is simply how it is supposed to sound, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt, and be keeping a close eye on it. Also, one thing that isn't mentioned on the AO website, or anywhere I could see prior to ordering it is that the extraction vent is located on the side at the bottom left, and in the instructions it states to keep the machine well-ventilated and the vent 'unobstructed'. Hoover, It's a tumble dryer! these things get fitted into tight kitchens, utility rooms etc. To place the vent where they have is just poor design as by the machine's very nature, people will fit them into spaces where the vent will be obstructed. Massive design flaw if you ask me. To finish, this is not a ‘put the instruction manual away and forget’ machine, you will need to keep the manual close at hand to translate the many meaningless symbols. Honestly, I think it might be easier to translate ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Once I have achieved my B.A Hons in 'The usage of Hoover Tumble Dryers' and I have learned how to master the many buttons, symbols and settings and translate all the lights and bleeps I will post a further review, and who knows, I may give it a better score. Hopefully, the noise is just how this thing is supposed to sound and it won't break on me. Lastly, as previously mentioned, a tumble dryer needs not be this complicated a device. More electronics is simply more to go wrong. Please manufacturers, KEEP IT SIMPLE"
