No no no no no no no NOOOOOO!!!!!! Never buy a Hoover - I had one and the engineer came out to it when it was 6 weeks old, and every month after that - we were on first name terms within months!! It eventually packed up when it was 3 1/2 years old, it needed a new motor but after 5 weeks waiting (with 2 kids and NO washing machine!) I told them what to do with it - and that was with the so called 'Coverplan' which was meant to ensure that your machine was kept running with the minimum of fuss. I went out and bought a cheap and cheerful Indesit which washes better than that horrible Hoover ever did, and so far it's been plain sailing for 2 years (well apart from a certain ham-fisted forum member snapping the door handle off it a few months back!
) So now I don't care if this one packs up, I'll just go and get another one - oh and don't bother with the Coverplan/Mastercare cr@p - they take your money then don't come out for 3 weeks, then do sod all when they do turn up!
Rant over!
(and apologies if any of you out there work for any of the aforementioned companies - just sharing my experiences that's all!
