Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 53 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people encountered significant issues with product quality, reporting that appliances such as carpet cleaners, vacuum cleaners, and tumble dryers frequently stopped working prematurely or arrived faulty. Customer service was widely criticized as unhelpful, arrogant, and extremely difficult to reach, often leaving customers with unresolved problems and a sense of frustration. Reviewers also faced considerable challenges with warranty claims, frequently discovering that their warranties were not honored or that essential spare parts were unavailable for products still under guarantee. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with their experience, highlighting instances of excellent customer service where products were replaced, sometimes even without original proof of purchase.

Hoover H - Wash 500 10kg

Had this machine since July last year. On Sunday we had the machine on. As it went into spin mode the whole appliance started shaking the drum making loud bangs as it rotated. Today we called out an engineer to have look.He told us the drum was wrecked because it snapped the springs. To repair it was going to cost a few hundred pounds. It turns out this is common problem with these machine. You are lucky if you get 2years before something like this happens.As a result we now have to buy a new machine because it was out of warranty. Will never buy hoover again waste of money.

Would have a given a ZERO if I could have. Customer service appalling, called looking for replacement parts, first woman once I told her not looking to buy but needed to source a new clean water tank for my carpet cleaner hung up on me. Second call, the man insisted that hoover did not make my model and yelled at me, continued to talk over me, insisting, "I needed to understand they don't make them." The third woman refused to pass me to a supervisor and insisted I go through the company I purchased it from.
Needless to say I'm now about to purchase a new cleaner that's NOT a hoover

If I could give them a 0 I would

If I could give them a 0 I would. Bought a washing machine that was faulty, booked an appointment (that I had to wait 9 days for). Had to send all of my washing to a launderette which was a nightmare. The repairer man came out and was SO RUDE - his attitude was absolutely disgusting and made me feel really uncomfortable in my own home. The washing machine is now damaged and I will NEVER be buying from this company again.

I have never been more disappointed with an appliance purchase. My Hoover washing machine has been a complete nightmare from the start. Recently, it started malfunctioning—refusing to drain, leaving clothes soaking wet, and making unbearable noise. It’s beyond frustrating that such an expensive product could perform so poorly when it’s not even a year old yet.

To make matters worse, Hoover’s customer service is an absolute disaster. Trying to get support has been like pulling teeth. I spent hours on the phone being passed from one representative to another, none of whom seemed to care or take responsibility.

I regret ever buying a Hoover product, and I would strongly advise anyone to steer clear of their appliances. They clearly don’t care about their customers or standing by their products. Save yourself the hassle and buy from a company that values its customers. I won’t be returning to Hoover for any future purchases.

Waiting for a refund for over a month

I gave Hoover a bad review a while back owing to their incompetence in sending a spare part for my vacuum cleaner. In the end, I sent the appliance back to them. I requested a refund on 13 August and gave my bank details; to date, 20 September, I am still waiting. I did not think that they could sink any lower in my estimation but they have done so.

Do not buy hoover products.

Bought a fridge freezer 3 years ago and the same thing broke for the 3 time. Having to throw away a lot of food every single time because the freezer just stops working. Asked for a replacement as its not normal for same thing to break 3 times in 3 year and been told the frequency of the repairs doesnt meet the threshold to consider replacement.

Brand new oven didn't work

Brand new oven didn't work, three weeks to get an engineer who failed to fix and said parts were needed, hot an email three days later saying they couldn't source so were closing the job, another quickly followed saying congrats we've fixed and closed the job, argued for a few weeks as hoover claimed the oven was over a year old and demanded receipts and wouldn't accept all appliances were new and supplied in the new build house we had just bought so didn't get appliance receipts. Eventually authorised for replacement but then told loving warhorse meant a replacement couldn't be issued and no time line given other than min 6 to 8 weeks. New double oven was promised for today however yesterday a new one turned up and was stopped out, house filled with smoke, sounded like a washing machine on full spin, alarms and error codes flashing before blowing the house fuse box! I called again, six people later was told tbey hadn't delivered and the new one was still on its way but they would send an email and any immediate action I would need to call install team myself, again told no one had been so sat in today getting emails and texts saying tbey would be her early afternoon. I just got a call from a snotty arrogant woman at hoover who stated she had halted the exchange and could she book an engineer, she kept interrupting and ignored all frustration or information then told me someone would be intouch regards engineer visit and hung up on me! Disabled and stuck in new house without an oven to cook meals for 6 weeks now with zero help from hoover!!! So mad

OUT OF MY MONEY AGAIN

This is the second carpet shampooer I have spent a lot of money on for both of them not to work and be so easily broken. Water goes everywhere. Leaked so bad my hard wood floors are ruined. I like the shampooer it just needs improvement. I definitely wouldn't recommend especially being how much money I've spent on something to just stop working properly.

Don’t waste your time !!!

Ordered washing machine 23rd July then booked delivery and installation for 7th august. On 6th august I was informed my order would not be delivered the next day, so delivery re booked for 13th august.
No update on delivery the day before as expected called delivery company and was told they have not received my machine and to contact Hoover direct. This was very difficult as they do not want to speak to customers directly, they instead want you to contact them on whatsapp or fill out a contact form.
I just wanted to speak to someone who could help but this was not an option when you spend your money at Hoover, they never got in touch to say there was an issue with delivery and just leave you hanging. I have requested a refund and surprisingly curry’s can deliver a new machine tomorrow.

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. Cannot get hold of Hoover by phone at all! Had to complete an online form with the promise of contact within 24 hours, which did not happen. Cancelled my order in the end as got fed up of waiting for a call back, therefore I did not trust the process/company and ordered elsewhere.

My Hoover induction hob has been malfunctioning for the past 4 weeks. It will turn itself off or up to maximum heat, which has almost burn my kitchen down and certainly burnt my food if left for a few minutes unattended. Serious safety issue to my home. I logged this with hoover for repair in thier 'ten year warranty', 4 engineer visits later and it's still not fixed. I requested a call back from a manager but now 4 days later no call!!!!! It seems Hoover/ Candy just do not care AVOID HOOVER CANDY APPLIANCES

Was sold a used carpet shampooer

Was sold a used carpet shampooer. For a company that stands for cleanliness, more specific to clean carpets, I’m totally at a loss for how a used product was sold a second time. In addition to the used vacuum, like a fool I just took it out, loaded it up with solution and went to work. Only for the first several passes to leave remains all over carpets. I have now been in a new house for a month that I have never slept in. I cannot bring in or set up any upstairs furniture cause the carpets are disgusting. After reaching out I believe a total of 4 times maybe a 5 to n recoded calls, I was lucky to get a refund for product (still waiting on). After submitting photos of my damaged carpet, claims/ liability department sees no fault in matter and after weeks of not being in my very first home, that don’t feel as if anything further needs to be done. Think I asked for new carpets to be replaced. I just want clean carpets in the new house I purchased. Reporting to BBB. Bissel and shark is what I was after from jump and in a hurry picked up this product. What a colossal mistake!
