What we like about Hoover H-DRY 350 HR4 H7A2TE-S

  • At 48 cm deep it suits a narrow utility room.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow control through the hOn app.
  • Silent mode lowers the noise for late loads.
  • The transparent door lets you check the laundry.
  • The allergen program suits households with allergies.
  • The delayed start can be set up to 24 h ahead.

What we don't like about Hoover H-DRY 350 HR4 H7A2TE-S

  • Energy class E and 212 kWh a year is a high figure.
  • At 67 dB it is loud in a quiet home.
  • The 7 kg capacity needs more cycles for a big family's wash.
  • At 38.3 kg it is hard to move alone.

Verdict

The Hoover H-DRY 350 HR4 H7A2TE-S is built for tight spaces, with a depth of just 48 cm. It is a 7 kg heat pump dryer, so bigger loads will need two rounds. Its real draw is connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start a cycle and follow it in the hOn app. A silent mode lowers the noise for late loads, and a transparent door lets you check the laundry without opening it. The programs cover allergy care, jeans and shirts, and the delayed start can be set up to 24 h ahead. The trade-off is energy and noise: class E, 212 kWh a year, and 67 dB, which is on the loud side. It suits someone with a narrow space who wants app control and can live with a noisier, less efficient cycle.
