Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Hoover HBWS 484DMSW5-80

  • Four programs finish in under an hour.
  • A 1400 RPM spin leaves clothes drier.
  • A 58 L drum takes 8 kg of washing.
  • Steam technology is built in.
  • Hygiene and anti-allergy cycles cover sensitive clothing.
  • A 52.5 cm depth suits a standard kitchen.

What we don't like about Hoover HBWS 484DMSW5-80

  • The wash and the spin each run at 75 dB, which is loud.
  • There is no automatic dosing, so detergent is measured by hand.
  • Spin-drying class B means a little more moisture stays in clothes.
  • At 64 kg it is heavy to move on your own.

Verdict

Four programs finish in under an hour, which is handy when laundry has to be ready quickly. The Hoover HBWS 484DMSW5-80 is a mid-range machine with a 58 L drum for 8 kg of washing. A 1400 RPM spin leaves clothes drier and cuts time on the line. Steam, anti-crease and an extra rinse give more control over the finish. The machine is loud, at 75 dB both in the wash and on the spin. Wi-Fi connectivity is built in, and a delay start of up to 24 h gives timing room. The trade-off is that it has no automatic dosing, so detergent is measured by hand. Its 52.5 cm depth and 82 cm height suit a standard kitchen. It suits a family that wants quick cycles and can live with the noise.
