Hoover vs Siemens Washing Machines

Hoover and Siemens are at different price points, with Hoover's models ranging from £289.99 to £499 and Siemens running from £679 to £1,099. The 9kg Siemens WG46G2Z2GB at £679 is the entry point to the brand, while the 9kg Siemens WG46H2A9GB at £899 adds Home Connect app control and i-Dos detergent scanning. The 10kg Siemens WG56B2A3GB at £1,099 is the largest and most expensive machine in the pairing. On the Hoover side, the 11kg Hoover HWB411AMC at £399 and the 12kg Hoover H7W 412MBC-80 at £499 give more drum for less money.

Siemens's features are built around dosing and speed. The i-Dos system on the WG46H2A9GB and WG56B2A3GB adjusts detergent to load size, and the speedPack range shortens cycles, including a speedPack XL on the 10kg model. The stainRemoval system appears on both 9kg Home Connect models, and every Siemens machine here is rated at 1600rpm for fast water extraction. Hoover's advantage is that its smart and Wi-Fi features come at a lower price, and the 11kg and 12kg drums are larger than any Siemens here.

Siemens suits households that want automatic dosing, Home Connect control and a fast 1600rpm spin, particularly those who expect to wash every day. Hoover suits households that want a big drum or a smart machine without paying Siemens prices, and the Siemens models suit homes where starting a wash from work is useful. The 9kg H3W49TA4-1-80 at £289.99 is £389.01 cheaper than the 9kg WG46G2Z2GB at £679.

Bottom line: choose Hoover if you want the largest drum for the price, such as the 12kg H7W 412MBC-80 at £499. Choose Siemens if you want i-Dos dosing, Home Connect control and 1600rpm spinning, starting with the WG46G2Z2GB at £679.
