Third-party reviews

What we like about Hoover HBP 10N3BX-80

  • A 10 kg capacity handles a big family's washing in one load.
  • At 62 dB it is quiet for a machine this size.
  • The annual use of 117 kWh is modest for 10 kg.
  • At 59.5 cm wide it fits a standard gap beside a washer.
  • The allergen program suits households with sensitive skin.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth link the dryer to a phone.

What we don't like about Hoover HBP 10N3BX-80

  • The 111 L drum is tight for a full load of bulky items.
  • At 45 kg it is hard to lift and move.
  • A full load uses 1.88 kWh per cycle, nearly twice the 0.95 kWh of a partial load.
  • As a self-standing model it cannot be tucked under a worktop like a built-in.

Verdict

Capacity of 10 kg is the main reason to choose the Hoover HBP 10N3BX-80, a heat pump dryer for a larger household. At 62 dB it stays quiet for a machine of this size, and at 59.5 cm wide it fits a standard gap. Annual use of 117 kWh is modest for 10 kg of washing, and a full load takes 1.88 kWh. The allergen program suits households with sensitive skin, and the delayed start can be set up to 24 h ahead. The trade-off is the 111 L drum, which is tight for a full 10 kg load of bulky items. It suits a busy family that runs a big load most days and wants the extra capacity without a big jump in energy use.
