"This is my second Hoover and I'm hoping that it will be as good as the first which apart from holidays was used at least once every day for more than 8 years.
So far so good. I've found the OPH616 simple to operate, it washes well, is very quiet and has a good selection of programmes some of which don't take long at all.
That said, I do have a few issues with it. Despite supposedly having the same measurements as the old machine we had huge difficulty getting it into the space in the kitchen - it's a much tighter fit and I can only assume that this has something to do with its more modern shape. Now that I've used it for nearly a month I would have preferred a more precise indication of programme progress on the display whilst it's in operation and would have found it useful if the instruction book had provided details of how long each programme took - also (and I never thought I'd say this) I miss the annoying beep my old machine had when it had finished!"
