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.
