Verdict

The Candy CDCP 6 is a compact, freestanding countertop dishwasher measuring 43.8 x 55 x 50 cm with a capacity of 6 place settings and 6 washing programs. Main pros include its space-saving design ideal for small kitchens, a low consumption of 6.5 liters of water and 0.61 kWh of energy per cycle, a delayed start timer, and helpful maintenance indicators for salt and rinse aid. However, cons include a relatively loud noise level of 51 dB, an energy efficiency rating of class F under the current standards, and a lack of smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity.
