This model has a traditional pull-out detergent tray, with space for washing detergent, pre-wash detergent and fabric softener. You’ll need to determine the correct amounts by yourself, rather than relying on the machine to do it for you, but this isn’t much of a hardship. Hoover’s app can still be useful. It provides access to a wider range of programmes, including special cycles designed for cleaning specific items: diving suits, face masks and bloodstains are just some that jump out. Plus, each programme is described in detail, which makes it a bit easier to understand. 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. Available for a great price when you take into account the features on offer, the Hoover H-Wash 500 HWB 410AMC/1-80 is a top mid-range washing machine. Spend more on the likes of the Samsung WW9800T and you’ll get faster wash cycles and better stain removal at lower temperatures. However, you’ll spend a lot more for the privilege.

You work at BID, what a legend.

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%. 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. If you don’t want this capacity, then the H-WASH 500 is also available in sizes between 8kg and 14kg, too. The H-WASH 300 series is available in a more traditional range between 7kg and 10kg. 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. KG Mode Plus adapts the washing action to the load ensuring the best results and 60% more efficiency. The function weighs the laundry within the first few minutes of the program, adapting the water level, energy consumption, and time of cycle with scientific precision. Giving you an excellent wash whilst saving time and energy.

H-WASH 500 is featured by an advanced algorithm that calculates and auto-sets the most suitable programme adapting detergent, water and time according to fibers and load, guaranteeing an improved efficiency with no wastes. 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. Some models in the H-WASH 500 range will also have Caredose, which can automatically release the correct amount of detergent for up to 21 washes.

There are some faster cycles you can run for lesser-soiled items, but the main programmes on this washing machine are quite slow. There’s also a dial position to turn on Wi-Fi, letting you connect the washing machine to the Hoover hOn app. It’s important to note that you can only use the app while the machine is set to Wi-Fi mode; if you use a different programme, you’ll lose the remote connection. This means that using the app requires you to programme the machine with the app. This is different to the way the Samsung WW9800T works; it lets you use the app at any point.
