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 412BL10J-80

  • A 12 kg drum takes a big family load in one go.
  • The spin reaches 1400 RPM, so clothes leave the drum drier.
  • The spin stays at 70 dB, which is easy to live with.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start or check a wash from your phone.
  • Water jets spread the water over the load.
  • The ABT antibacterial treatment and hygiene cycle help with sweaty sports kit.

What we don't like about Hoover 412BL10J-80

  • The wash runs at 70 dB, so it can be heard from the kitchen.
  • The phone control only works through the hOn app.
  • The app has to be set up before the connected functions work at all.
  • At 85 cm high, it is too tall for the standard space under a worktop.

Verdict

A 12 kg drum is the first thing to know about the Hoover 412BL10J-80, a front loader for big households. The spin reaches 1400 RPM yet stays at 70 dB, so it does not drown out the radio. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let the hOn app start a wash or check it from your phone. Water jets spread the water over the load, and an ABT antibacterial treatment helps with sweaty sports kit. Sixteen programs cover most fabrics. The trade-off is the wash itself, at 70 dB, which is loud enough to hear from the kitchen. The phone control only works through the app, so set it up before you need it. It suits a buyer who wants a big drum and phone control, and does not mind a noisy wash.
