I have had my Hoover HNF7167 machine since Feb 2007. Seventeen years. For many years there were 8 of us and a dog living here and when the the family moved out we ran a busy guest house for 10 years. The washing machine was always on, and usually doing 5 loads on Saturdays. Its only had 2 repairs. The drum split early on and the unpleasant engineer said there was a 5p in the filter so we got charged. We didn't believe the story of the filter as we had checked it before he came. Since then the belt broke this year. A local repairer replaced it for £50. I love this machine, I love being able to independently choose the spin speed and temperature, the quick washes and most of all the 1600 spin speed. I use a Washing Egg so no powder, liquid or conditioner just a bit of vanish once in a while. Mostly I do cold washes. Everything comes up clean. I always do a rinse and give it a clean after washing the dogs beds and blankets. My machine does not have electronic codes or lights that tell you how many minutes are left etc. It is a flaming good work horse.

owned this machine sine may bank holiday 2008. Never had one days trouble with it. only review I can relate to is the noise when n spin. Also the 2 hour programs are not economical but generally she is good machine, or has been for me.. Was shocked to read some of the reviews on here.

HNF 7167 is the most unreliable washing machine I have ever owned. Since it was new a couple of years ago the plastic paddles in the drum come loose and clothes rip on the holes in the drum behind the paddle. We have had engineer back ot least 3 times for the paddles and once for a new circuit board. Also drum replaced once and now unrepairable so very dissappointed at its unreliability. Even the Candy engineer is grumpy so we wont be having another Hoover. Shame because Hoover has been a good brand over the years but really let itself down this time.

Owned this Machine for 3yrs and it is now beyond repair. The bolts have come loose or come off lots of times and the concrete weight has nearly crumbled away. Shame because it had some good wash programs and was easy to use.

My hoover hnf7167 machine stopped spinning engineer came YOU must clean out filter in front of machine as it gets clogged, I did not know it was there, it is a good machine, some of the programmes take 2 hours not very economical.

This Hoover HNF7167 washing machine was £280 from my local currys. Against all the odds it still works, and hopefully will do for a while. Reading some reviews made me scared, only time will tell!
