Hi there I have always been a huge fan of Hoover products, particulary their washers. This was likely passed down from my mum who has alway had Hoover. I had a Logic machine for 11years and replaced it with the New Wave 1500 simply becuase the Logic was old and had a slow spin speed. I had the new wave for 7 years and was bowled over with it. it was a great machine but was dropped by removals. The insurance company had me buy a new machine from a particular retailer and they did not stock hoover so i opted for a Bosch 1400Exeel. I haven't really been happy with this machine. The main catch for me on a washer is the final spin cycle. And this is where the bosch is a disapointment. It only hits 1400 for about 30 secs where as the hoover spun at top speed for 3 mintutes and the results were fantastic, sometime being able to take shirts straight from the machine and iron them. Hoover seem to have had a bad rap over the last few years, but I've read that they have got there act together now and the latest Vision range of washer from Hoover are great, particulary the VHD 816i with an inverter motor. I am seriously considering dumping the Bosch and buying one of these. I just wondered if you had heard anything about these machine or whether anyone on the forum had any experience with these? I've even been looking on Ebay, hoping to pick up a second hand new wave machine - My mother has the 1400 new wave (9years and going strong) but inspite of the bribes , she won't part with it ;-) Many thanx
