The Hoover replaced with us a 10 year old top loader branded privilege. I can only say as different as day and night. We are excited for the first wash. In the normal wash cycles the machine is almost inaudible. Basically, you can hear only the fall clothes in the drum and splashing the water. Unbelievable is also the capacity of the drum 9kg. While washing and drying (6kg) underway away takes an eternity, but the result is impressive. Operation has (n) and woman after a short time it is. Kurzprogaramme are several available -also a washing & drying program by only 1 hour (real class if something goes wrong-pure tightened at breakfast in the Hoover and after breakfast and off to kindergarten). By the way, the part also looks very noble with the beveled Bedienelemenmt and the huge porthole. From us here today a 100 percent buy recommendation. :-)
