About this product
The Hoover HLEC8LGB-80 condenser tumble dryer is designed for busy households that need efficient, flexible drying for everyday loads. With an 8kg drum capacity, it handles cottons, synthetics, delicates and wool with ease, while 14 dedicated programmes ensure the right care for every fabric type. This corded appliance transforms moisture into water collected in a front-mounted container, making installation straightforward without needing external venting.
Sensor drying stops automatically at Store Dry, Hang Dry, or Iron Dry levels to prevent overdrying and protect fibres. The LCD display and touch controls simplify programme selection, with a 24-hour delayed start to fit your schedule. The Allergy Cycle reduces dust mites, pet hair, and pollen, while anti-crease keeps clothes fresh. Rated B energy efficiency, 69dB noise, 33.2kg weight, H85 x W60 x D60cm. Easy-clean fluff filter, reservoir full indicator, 10-year parts and 1-year labour guarantee.
