Who is the manufacturer of the Hoover washing machine?

Among the world-famous brands that produce washing equipment, you can sometimes come across a company whose trade name is not heard by the general public. Buyers, having noticed an automatic machine from an unknown manufacturer, are afraid to purchase the product, fearing for its reliability and quality. To dispel possible fears, we suggest learning more about an unfamiliar American manufacturer of equipment under the Hoover brand.

Where did the Hoover brand come from?

The trade name – Hoover – literally translates as “Vacuum Cleaner”. The main activity of the company for a century was the production of this type of equipment. An interesting fact is that the first vacuum cleaner presented to the world was released under the Hoover brand.

The founder of the enterprise was an American businessman named William Hoover. The founder’s own name became the name of the world’s largest company that launched the production of vacuum cleaners. The start of sales was noted in 1908, and after 12 years the products began to be offered not only in the US domestic market, but also far beyond the country’s borders, in almost every corner of the world.

In 1993, the company's activities were divided into two branches: American and European, each of which was subsequently bought out by different corporations. The American branch of the brand joined TechtronicIndustries, the European branch became part of CandyGroup. Today under the brand Hoover produces home appliances from two of the world's largest brands.

Washing equipment sold on the Russian market is assembled in our country; the manufacturing plant of the Hoover washing machine is located in the city of Kirov. Other branded products are produced in China.The production of equipment for cleaning clothes has three directions: the production of frontal washers, washing-drying machines and devices exclusively for drying things.

Functional features of the equipment

The latest developments and technologies are used in the production of Hoover automatic washing machines. Let's figure out what functionality the equipment is equipped with. Washing machines are produced in two series:

• A distinctive feature of the models is that they are equipped with a special NFC module, which allows you to control the machine from a smartphone with loaded software.
• The machines can also be controlled using a smartphone. Control is carried out remotely via a Wi-Fi network. A specialized application makes it possible to diagnose the system, identify equipment breakdowns, launch the required washing program, select additional options for the main mode, etc.

Both series have a convenient “KiloMode” function, which automatically weighs the laundry loaded into the drum. Having determined the exact mass of things, down to grams, the intellect independently regulates the volume of water required for washing, and also determines the required cycle duration. Thanks to the built-in option, the amount of electricity consumed by the washing machine is reduced.

The effect of the KiloMode add-on can be observed throughout the entire cleaning process: the digital display will change the main wash cycle time depending on the weight of the laundry.

The “All in One” function makes it possible to wash a mix of colored items in 60 minutes, while removing the most complex and stubborn stains from the fabric fibers, ensuring high quality cleaning. It seems impossible that in just one hour you can achieve the best cleaning results, but this is true. Water into the drum, when selecting the option "All in One” comes under strong pressure, in the form of several powerful jets, so the dissolved detergent instantly passes into the fabric structure and literally “knocks out” dirt particles in a minimum time.

This function can be used when washing any items, including those made from delicate materials, since cleaning is carried out with water heated to just 20°C. This option has three variations and can be used:

• when washing children's clothes, in this case the water will warm up to 60°C;
• for gentle cleaning of mixed textiles with water at a temperature of 20 degrees;
• If you need to express wash mixed fabrics, the cycle time will be 59 minutes when heated to 40°C.

Hoover washing machines are intelligently programmed with many useful features. The manufacturer was able to develop and implement additions that are extremely important for the modern user, helping to simplify the life of equipment owners.

Additional options

The functionality of washing machines manufactured under the Hoover brand is very diverse. In addition to the options listed, the machines are equipped with a bunch of useful additions. Depending on the model, the washing machine may have a variety of functions.

1. AquaStop. The addition allows equipment users to leave the machine during operation without worrying about an emergency leak in the system. The built-in solenoid valve will prevent such damage.
2. Day and night. The option is designed for comfortable use of the machine at night. When you turn on the “Day and Night” mode, the spin cycle in the set standard program will be canceled, and you will have to turn it on additionally after all family members wake up.
3. Delayed start. A useful feature that allows you to set the start time for washing.Typically, starting the washer can be delayed by up to 24 hours.
4. Reloading laundry. With Hoover equipment, the user will no longer have problems with forgotten items not put in the drum. A special door will help you load items after the wash has started.
5. Protection from child interference. By locking the control panel when the machine is operating, parents do not have to worry that a small child may interfere with the washing process.

Washing machines also prevent imbalances in the drum and prevent excessive foaming. The dispenser of the machine is three-sectional; some washing machines have a compartment specifically for liquid detergents. The machines have an interesting addition - the ability to record individual user programs into the intelligence memory. Hoover brand washing equipment is very economical; the units have the highest power consumption class. The washing quality is also classified as high class “A”, so the device will help cope with any stains on the fabric.

Review of these machines

On the corporate website of the corporation, 5 models of frontal automatic machines are presented for potential buyers to see. According to the brand owner, the best technologies were used to create them to ensure perfect washing. The equipment differs from each other in dimensions, capacity, set of programs, maximum drum rotation speed during spinning, etc.

All presented samples have a modern design. On a white body, chrome or glossy programmers and hatch door rims look impressive. The black digital display also looks stylish, showing all the information about the washing process and the operation of the machine.

The maximum permissible weight of laundry loaded into the drum varies from 6 to 13 kg. When choosing washing equipment, it is very important to pay attention to the capacity indicator, so as not to experience any inconvenience during further operation. The enlarged hatch door makes the process of using the machine even more pleasant. So, the user can easily place even the most voluminous items inside the washing machine.

The noise level of Hoover washing machines during the main wash is no more than 56 dB, in the spin mode – up to 77 dB.

A detailed description of all 5 samples of front cameras from Hoover is posted on the corporation’s website. We will make a brief overview of two machines: the most compact, suitable for installation in small spaces, and the most powerful, capable of serving about 13 kg of dry textiles at a time.

Hoover DXOC3426C3/2-07 DynamicNext. The machine, despite its small depth, only 37.8 cm, allows you to simultaneously wash up to 6 kg of dry laundry. The maximum spin speed is also considered a record for such dimensions and is 1200 rpm. The device is equipped with a standard electric motor with a belt drive.

This is a record value in the washing equipment market; the previous favorite could only accept 12 kg of textiles at a time.

The usual rotary knob for switching washing programs has been replaced with a modern, stylish panel equipped with touch sensors. The design of the device is unusual - the glass of the hatch door is darkened, this gives the image of the machine some mystery.
