So, I have this week had a new hoover 8kg drum washer installed, bought specifically for the 8kg drum as I ruined the bearings on my 5.5 kg zanussi by overloading it apparently! Anyway on reading the instructions a full wash load on any temperature takes 3-3.5 hours!!! To do a quicker daily wash of 30-60 mins it will only take 3.5 kg of washing, my question is will it break if I overload a daily cycle or have I purchased a bit of a turkey?! 3.5 hours is a looong time,no? Or is it just me?
