    Verdict

    Hoover H-WASH&DRY 300 PLUS H3DSQ496TAMCE-84 washer-dryer reliably meets laundry needs with a 9 kg washing and 6 kg drying capacity. It stands out due to low energy consumption, using 49 kWh per 100 wash cycles, and includes the KG MODE system to adapt water and energy usage precisely according to load size. The appliance has 13 practical washing programs, such as Rapid Care cycles (14, 30, and 44 minutes) for quick cleaning, and Active Steam for gentle fabric care. It employs the Power Care System, mixing detergent and water to effectively remove stains, even at lower temperatures. NFC connectivity via Hoover One Touch allows simple smartphone management, although it lacks Wi-Fi connectivity. Automatic sensor drying adjusts drying time for optimal results, but the unit does not include a self-cleaning cycle or an anti-crease function. While generally user-friendly, it operates louder than average during spinning at 78 dB, has limited spin speed options (four available settings), and consumes slightly more water (86 liters) per combined wash-and-dry cycle than similar models.
