Hoover H-Wash 500 HW414AMC Freestanding Washing Machine, Large Capacity, A, 14 kg Load, 1400 rpm, White

Product Information

The Hoover H-Wash 500 is a rather standard-looking washing machine, with a traditional control panel layout. There’s a programme selector dial at the centre, with a secondary control panel used to fine-tune programmes. This secondary control panel is brimming with symbols, not all of which are particularly clear. I had to keep the manual to hand at first to work out what everything meant. For the most part, you’ll operate the Hoover H-Wash 500 HWB via the controls on the front of the machine. First, there’s the control dial that lets you select the wash programme; you’ll need to refer to the manual to find the right wash for each load. There are plenty of options to choose from, however, including modes for whites, wool, fitness gear and allergy care. Admittedly, this job will need to be done only once – and likely by the person who delivers the appliance – but less fiddly bolts would have been appreciated.

The new H-WASH 500, thanks to its motor, is more sensitive: it adapts the washing action to the load ensuring best results and 60% more efficiency. The Active Balance Technology provides the best rinsing results reducing washing time and vibrations, thanks to its spinning optimization. Superior space optimization mixed with the usage of innovative components and materials, guarantees to comfortably wash all family garments at once, saving time.

The test strip included (left to right) red wine, orange juice, ketchup, vegetable oil and gravy stains. On the 30ºC wash, the image below shows that stain removal was pretty good, although you can still see a clear outline of the red wine stain, plus a mark from the ketchup. It’s decent performance, but more expensive machines – such as the LG V9 F4V909BTS – clean better, albeit at a higher cost. The wash took just over two hours to complete.

Choose from 14', 30', or 44-minute cycles As with all washing machines, the Hoover H-Wash 500 has to have its transport bolts removed. These comprise one plastic part with a rubber bung on the rear. My attempt to remove them resulted in the the rubber part coming away from the plastic part on two bolts, with the plastic bit dropping inside the machine. I had to then remove the thin rear panel to retrieve these items before I could turn on the appliance.

Next, to work out accurate running costs per year, I take the average number of UK cycles per year (274) and multiply this by three different load sizes – high (6kg), medium (4.5kg) and low (3.5kg) – to get a total amount of washing per year. In this instance, high users would have to make 164.4 full loads to complete all the washing, rather than the 274 UK average. Credit subject to status and affordability. Terms & Conditions Apply.

I have no concerns about the rest of the build, however: the H-Wash 500 feels tough, and the porthole door closes neatly and securely. The Hoover HW 414AMC/1-80 H-WASH 500 Washing Machine, in White, is extremely sturdy, reliable, and stylish plus it guarantees outstanding results, and excellent care of fibres giving them a longer lifespan. Plus, it is equipped with the new-generation Eco-Power Inverter Motor, the most long-lasting and powerful belt technology available on the market. Hoover washing machine has a specific hygiene programme that is a sanitizing washing cycle that mantains 60°C of temperature for more than 20 minutes, allowing deep cleaning for your clothes and garments.Switching to the 40ºC wash on the Eco 40-60 programme, I re-ran the test. This time, the washing machine used just 0.21kWh of power and only 37.1 litres of water, the trade-off being that this programme took more than three hours to run. This time, water retention was lower at 35.94%. This is a large-capacity 10kg machine, with a sizeable door that opens up wide to provide easy access for loading. I certainly didn’t encounter any problems filling it with the test washing load. The H-Wash 500 is very quiet, though. I measured it at 51.2dB when running the main part of the wash, increasing to 68.3dB on the spin cycle. At all points, the H-Wash 500 stayed still with little vibration. Should you buy it? H-WASH 500 is the unique washing machine offering a complete set of 9 Care Cycles that allows you to take care of all your favourite clothes, preserving fibers for longer and without any effort.
