What we like about Candy CDPN2D522PW

  • Large loading capacity of up to 15 place settings suitable for big families
  • Generous selection of 9 diverse wash programs including a hygiene cycle
  • Convenient smart remote control via Wi-Fi and the Simply-Fi application
  • Handy Add-Dish feature allows adding forgotten items after the cycle starts
  • Flexible loading with a height-adjustable upper basket and a third cutlery tray
  • Quiet operation with a low noise level of 43 decibels

What we don't like about Candy CDPN2D522PW

  • Energy efficiency rating sits lower on the newer scale at Class E
  • Lacks an automatic door opening mechanism at the end of the wash cycle
  • Does not feature built-in smart dirt sensors to automatically gauge water grime
  • Mixed brand reliability reviews with some users expressing concern over long-term durability
  • The physical dimensions and free-standing build take up a notable amount of kitchen space

Verdict

The Candy Brava CDPN2D522PW/E is a full-size (60 cm) freestanding dishwasher featuring a spacious 15 place setting capacity, 9 washing programs, and smart Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity via the simply-Fi app. Notable pros include its generous loading capacity, an adjustable upper basket, a fast 24-minute quick wash, a 39-minute Zoom cycle, and a delayed start timer spanning up to 23 hours. However, it carries an E-class energy efficiency rating with a consumption of 96 kWh per 100 cycles and 10.8 liters of water per wash, operates at a moderate 45 dB noise level, lacks an automatic door-opening feature for enhanced drying, and does not include integrated overflow protection.
