Verdict

The Candy Brava CDIH 2L952-80 is a fully integrated, 45cm slimline dishwasher designed for compact spaces with a 9 place setting capacity, a 9-liter water consumption per cycle, and standard dimensions of 816 x 448 x 559 mm. Key pros include its height-adjustable upper basket, a highly efficient 32-minute Zoom rapid wash cycle, and a 3, 6, or 9-hour delay start timer. However, notable cons include its relatively low E energy efficiency rating (70 kWh per 100 cycles), a somewhat loud 52 dB(A) noise level, and the lack of a remaining time indicator display or a third cutlery drawer.
