Hoover VHC381

The VHC381 is a solid, dependable tumble dryer from Hoover, available in the colour of white as a stand-alone unit.  It measures 85 centimetres in height, 60 centimetres in depth and 60 centimetres in width, which makes it able to fit beneath the standard U.K. worktop in the kitchen if necessary, in order to conserve space. 

It is a condenser dryer, which means it can be placed anywhere in the house, as opposed to a vented dryer, which requires a connection to a ventilation shaft.  On a scale of A to G, with A being the best, the Hoover VHC381 ranks a B in energy efficiency, which is still a reasonable rating for a machine with an 8 kg capacity of cloth per load.  Such an impressive drum size makes it ideal for the large and busy household.  Per load, the machine uses 4.49 kW, and its noise-level is 67 dB. 

The machine also offers the following features: sensor drying, reverse tumble action, a 120 minute timer, 2 drying temperatures, a water reservoir full indicator and a 9 hour delay start timer.
