Third-party reviews

What we like about Hoover HW 28AMC71-S

  • The 1200 RPM spin removes much of the water from the load.
  • Energy efficiency class A suits daily use.
  • The 8 kg drum takes a full family load.
  • Wi-Fi control lets you start a wash from a phone.
  • Bluetooth connection works alongside Wi-Fi.
  • The hygiene cycle suits towels and bedding.

What we don't like about Hoover HW 28AMC71-S

  • At 63 kg it is hard to move alone.
  • The 85 cm height needs checking under a worktop.
  • Remote control needs a phone and the hOn app.
  • Clothes leave the spin a little damper, so drying takes longer.
  • The app only works where the home Wi-Fi reaches the machine.

Verdict

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth set the Hoover HW 28AMC71-S apart from a plain front loader. Its 8 kg drum takes a full family load, and the hOn app lets you control the wash from a phone. The 1200 RPM spin removes much of the water from the load. Energy efficiency class A and an inverter motor make it a sensible choice for daily use. The hygiene cycle suits towels and bedding. The trade-off is weight: at 63 kg it is hard to move alone. It is 60 cm wide and 53 cm deep, a size that suits a standard utility slot. Its 85 cm height means checking space under a worktop. It suits a buyer who wants app control and Wi-Fi in a standard-size machine and does not mind the weight.
