http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/laundry-and-cleaning/reviews/washer-dryers/hoover-hdb854/review/
The built-in Hoover HDB854 washer-dryer has a 1400rpm spin cycle and comes packed with lots of features such as a delayed start option, a time-remaining countdown and easy-care washing programs. It also offers a large drum capacity of 8kg for washing and 5kg for drying - but how well did this washer-dryer perform in our tests?
