Advantages: SIX KG LOAD, Nothing else

Disadvantages: Time it has taken up in my life, So much trouble, Faults

As you can see by the title i am not going to be congratulatuing hoover for this machine. I bought this machine after my reliable hotpoint broke down- well it didnt break down the door fell off and the dial would come off once you had pulled it out to start the program. Also it didnt spin it very well and didnt take alot for a family of 4. So the post came and i had seen the hoover washing machine it was only £300.00. So i bought it as it could take 6KG.
It came a week later by then i had plenty of washing to get done. My tumble dryer must of thought it was on holiday. The delivery men plumbed it in and did what they has to do. They said it was working fine and left. I loaded it up with what it recommended weight, added the tablets, closed the drawer, turned it to number 4 a 40 degree wash and pushed the on/ off button. Off it went doing its job.
A hour and half later it had finished it washed fine. So i unloaded the washing and pegged it out i then put another load in. I then left to pick the kids up. Iwas only gone for twenty mintues. I then got back the phone was ringing and the kids were running riot. A normal day in our house. I answered the phone then my jaw dropped as i walked into the kitchen it was flooded. Iquuickly stopped the machine and got straight on the phone to the people who i purchased the machine off.
They were very good and sent a man out the next day. They said it was a sensor problem and quickly got me a new machine. This one lasted a bit longer a week actually. Then this time it was the machine pump and motor had packed up. This time i had to get a hoover engineer out. He said it would be quicker to get a new machine so they did this time two days later.
This machine worked fine for about six months then it decided its computer would go so it was basically dead. I had to have a new machine.
This one lasted six months and two days which was two days after the gurantee ran out. This time i hadnt noticed but the seal had come away from the door and drum. Causing the machine to leak and the clothes to rip when it was a bad load for the machine. Also it span worse than my hotpoint used to and i could not put very much in as i feared to open the door.
I decided to wait for the january sales as they were only a week or two away. As i carried on using the machine it got worse. Now i am a proud owner of a hotpoint which is now a year and a week old and i havent had any trouble. It is probally breaking as we speak as now i probally have coursed it.
I would never buy a hoover again as it is the worse machine i have come across. Dont buy one as they are s**t sorry for the language it has had me so heat up for so long it has probally took me longer to do laundry then needed. Thanks for reading

Hi
I have read this review, it appears pretty sad. came across this review while searching for brushes for my AM110.
My previous machine was a Hoover. It lasted over 10 years and finally the spider at the rear of the machine cracked meaning a new drum was required to repair it. We decided
to get a new machine.
We bought the big AM110. We have two adults and five children. The machine is used several times each and every day. The first one I got carried out several different tricks, not starting, not spinning and some other faults, eventually Currys did replace it after several visits from an engineer didn’t keep my faults from reoccurring. In the small print they stated if the fault was not fixed they would replace the machine and so after breaking the managers heart in the shop, they eventually took my old (new Am110) away and replaced it with a new one. It has had a visit from an engineer also to do with balancing (not such a serious problem) but over this last 18 months has also not started, boiled school clothes, not washed (as if not enough water in wash) with other little faults that appear and you wonder just if it possible that one individual can actually make the machine do these things (you know, operator error!).
At Xmas 2004 the earth trip in my house goes. I traced it to the motor on this machine
and I want to replace the brushes to be sure they are not causing the fault before I get the engineer out (when I was offered three years breakdown insurance at the end of my first full year I decided to take it).
In short my wife is not at all happy by any stretch of the imagination with the AM110, I am not happy with the AM110. I am not hard to please but when on average your washing machine does not do what you expect it to do once a month then it is not satisfactory.
Highly unrecommended.
