Hoover Pro Wash&Dry Series 3 8kg/5kg Washer Dryer

The Hoover Pro Wash&Dry Series 3 is the number 8 pick in this washer dryer guide: an 8 kg washer with a 5 kg drying load, listed at £349 in white and black, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth control through the hOn app. Hoover quotes 16 washing cycles and 5 drying cycles, a 1400 RPM maximum spin, and says the machine has been tested for the equivalent of 20 years of use.

The headline number is A-10%, described as 10% more efficient than a standard A-class washer dryer and up to 55% lower energy use than G-class models — but no drying rating appears anywhere on the listing, which is the same gap this guide keeps finding across the category. The spec sheet's 43 Kilowatt Hours carries no unit at all, so it cannot be lined up against the per-year and per-100-cycles figures other machines in this guide quote. The 4.6 rating is drawn from 19 ratings, and the star breakdown supplied with the listing (72% at five stars, 17% at four, 11% at three) sums to 100 — it reads as percentages rather than counts. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as supplied; we have not tested this machine ourselves.
