Third-party reviews

What we like about Hoover H-WASH 500 HWQ58AMBS

  • The 1500 RPM spin takes out a lot of water.

  • 23 advanced features give plenty of choice.
  • Three programs finish in under an hour.
  • Steam helps with creases.
  • The motor carries a 10-year warranty.

What we don't like about Hoover H-WASH 500 HWQ58AMBS

  • Spin noise reaches 79 dB, which is loud in a small flat.
  • Its volume of 306000 cm³ needs a fair bit of floor space.
  • There is no fast function for a very quick wash.
  • Automatic dosing is missing, so detergent is measured by hand.
  • Spin-drying is rated class B, so clothes may need more time to dry.

Verdict

The Hoover H-WASH 500 HWQ58AMBS is an 8 kg capacity washing machine with advanced smart features and A-rated energy efficiency. The machine runs at 1500 RPM maximum spin speed and excels with its 47 kWh energy consumption per 100 cycles and quiet 51 dB washing operation. It comes with smart connectivity through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, enabling voice control and the Scan To Care function for creating a virtual wardrobe. The Power Care system pre-mixes water and detergent for enhanced washing performance, while Active Balance technology optimizes drum movements. The machine includes specialized programs accessible through its app, including cycles for jeans, shirts, duvets, and baby care, plus quick wash options of 14, 30, and 44 minutes. The night mode feature reduces noise by lowering spin speed to 400 RPM. Additional features include self-diagnosis capabilities, load balancing, water jets system, and the ability to save favorite settings. The main drawbacks are its 79 dB noise level during spinning, which puts it in noise class C, a 3.5 cm larger depth, and no manufacturer-specified special drum design.
