CANDY CF 3C7L1S Dishwasher, test and review
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy CF3C7L1S

  • Excellent value for money offering high-end features at an economical price point.
  • Highly spacious Maxi TUB interior that easily accommodates large trays and cutting boards.
  • Very convenient 49-minute rapid wash cycle that cleans effectively when in a hurry.
  • Smart Door system automatically opens at the end of cycles to significantly improve natural drying.
  • Operates quietly at 47 dB, making it suitable for open-concept kitchens.
  • Smart connectivity via the hOn app allows for easy remote control and extra cycles.

What we don't like about Candy CF3C7L1S

  • The lower basket features fixed plate tines that cannot be folded down, restricting configuration choices for bulky pots.
  • Racks and baskets lack overall adjustability, making it less user-friendly for non-standard kitchenware.
  • The official user manual is not always included in the box and occasionally requires an internet download.

Verdict

The Candy RapidÓ CF3C7L1S is a 60 cm freestanding dishwasher featuring a 13 place setting capacity, a quiet 47 dB Speed-Drive Inverter motor, and a Maxi TUB interior designed to accommodate oversized kitchenware. It offers efficient operation with a Class C energy rating, a 9.5-litre water consumption per cycle, an automatic Smart Door opening system for enhanced natural drying, and 8 wash programs, including a fast 49-minute rapid cycle. Main pros include its versatile three-basket layout with a dedicated cutlery tray, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity via the hOn app for remote operation, and an adjustable upper basket. However, notable cons include potential app connectivity issues and standard tactile push-button controls that look less modern compared to full digital touchscreens.
