More Details


A Washing Machine Built to Last

Hoover has tested the Pro Wash Series 3 for 4,000 cycles, which works out to roughly 20 years of typical household use. That’s not just a marketing claim — it’s a reflection of the Inverter BPM motor at the heart of this machine, which runs quieter and more reliably than conventional motors. The AI Silent Motion system continuously detects drum movement and adjusts to reduce vibrations, earning this machine a Quiet Mark accreditation and an A-class noise rating during spinning.

ProActive Wash Technology

The XL Soft Drum and ProActive Wash system work together to deliver a more thorough clean. Water is injected evenly and quickly across every load, so fabrics are saturated faster and rinsed more effectively — even on rapid cycles. The result is 99% stain removal on everyday marks, with fewer creases left in your garments at the end. If you’re dealing with something tougher, the additional rinse option boosts any cycle to tackle stubborn stains.

Energy Efficiency That Goes Beyond A-Class

This machine carries an A-20% energy rating, meaning it uses 20% less energy than a standard A-class appliance. The weighted energy consumption is just 40 kWh per 100 cycles, and water consumption comes in at 44 litres per rated cycle. Washing at lower temperatures is made practical by ProActive Wash, which cleans effectively even in cold water — reducing your energy bill without compromising results.

Smart Features and App Control

The hOn app connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and opens up over 60 specialist cycles beyond the 16 built into the machine. You can monitor energy consumption, receive self-maintenance alerts, and start or schedule washes remotely. A delay start of up to 24 hours lets you time washes to run overnight or during off-peak hours.

Hygiene and Drum Care

Keeping the machine itself clean is straightforward. The Clean Shield protects the porthole gasket from mould and bacteria build-up, while Smart Spray with dual water injection keeps the door glass clean during washes. A dedicated 60° Drum Cleaning Cycle deep-cleans the drum interior on a regular basis, helping the machine stay hygienic over the long term.

Slim Dimensions, Full Capacity

Despite holding a full 9kg load and offering a 55-litre drum, this machine has a cabinet depth of just 46cm (excluding pipes and door). That makes it a practical choice for tighter utility spaces or galley-style kitchens where every centimetre counts. The scrolling text display keeps the interface clear and easy to navigate.
