Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy Brava CDIH 1L949

  • Compact 45cm slimline design ideal for smaller kitchens and households
  • Fast 32-minute Zoom quick wash cycle provides rapid results for lightly soiled dishes
  • Adjustable upper basket height offers layout flexibility for bulkier items
  • Low water consumption using only 9 liters per cycle in Eco mode
  • AquaStop anti-overflow system prevents potential indoor water damage

What we don't like about Candy Brava CDIH 1L949

  • Lacks an automatic door opening system to assist with natural drying
  • No self-cleaning filter system requiring users to perform periodic manual filter maintenance
  • Drying performance relies on condensation which can leave plastic items damp
  • Lacks a half-load option for running smaller, energy-efficient cycles
  • Does not include built-in smart sensors or soil detectors to auto-adjust cycles

Verdict

The Candy Brava CDIH 1L949 is a 45 cm slimline, fully integrated built-in dishwasher offering a 9 place setting capacity and 5 wash programs, operating at a relatively quiet noise level of 49 dB. Main characteristics include an LED touch control panel, an adjustable upper basket, AquaStop anti-overflow protection, 9 liters of water consumption per cycle, and a 3-6-9 hour delayed start timer. Its primary advantages are its space-saving compact dimensions (448mm width), the ultra-fast Zoom 32-minute quick wash cycle, and an adjustable interior layout. However, notable drawbacks include its low energy efficiency class F rating, the lack of smart/Wi-Fi connectivity, and the absence of a half-load option or dirt sensors.
