Hoover H3D 485TE Washer Dryer, 8kg/5kg, 1400 Spin, White, D Rated £224.1 at Marks Electrical

Editor's Take

"This deal offers the Hoover H3D 485TE washer-dryer for £224.10, which is a low price for a combined machine. Buyers should note it has an 8 kg wash but only a 5 kg dry capacity and a D energy rating, so you cannot dry full loads and running costs will be higher than more efficient models."

Deal Description

The Hoover H3D 485TE is a freestanding washer dryer from the H-WASH & DRY 300 Lite range. It has a wash capacity of 8 kg and a dry capacity of 5 kg, and it spins at 1400 rpm in a small cabinet with a shallow depth.

Important specifications

8 kg wash and 5 kg dry capacity, good for small to medium-sized homes. Speed of spin: up to 1400 rpm, class B for spin efficiency. About 85 cm (H) x 60 cm (W) x 53 cm (D), so it's not too deep for tight spaces. Noise: About 79 dB when spinning.

Features and programs

There are several care cycles (about 9 to 16 programs, depending on how the stores list them). These include quick washes of 14, 30, or 44 minutes and at least one quick dry option. KG Mode: It weighs the load in the first few minutes and changes the time, water, and energy used to avoid over-washing and save money. Approved by Woolmark for wool and other delicate fabrics.
