What we like about Candy CF3E9L0W

  • Spacious interior with a 'Maxi Tub' that accommodates larger dishes and baking trays.
  • Effective cleaning performance on standard and heavily soiled items.
  • Useful rapid wash cycles, including a 49-minute program that cleans well when in a hurry.
  • Quiet operation during the wash cycle.
  • Smart connectivity via the hOn app allows for easy remote control and cycle monitoring.
  • Convenient automatic door-opening feature at the end of the program to aid drying.

What we don't like about Candy CF3E9L0W

  • Poor basket design and layout, making it awkward or frustrating to load certain types of kitchenware.
  • Fixed racks offer little to no adjustment options for varying dish sizes.
  • The cutlery basket/tray is considered too small or fiddly by some users.
  • The lower water spray arm can sometimes hit larger dinner plates if not carefully positioned.
  • The Eco wash program takes an exceptionally long time to complete (around 4 hours).

Verdict

The Candy RapidÓ CF3E9L0W is a freestanding, full-size freestanding dishwasher featuring a 13 place setting capacity, a 10.9-liter water consumption rate per cycle, and a 49 dB noise level powered by a Speed-Drive Inverter Motor. Key highlights include its oversized Maxi Tub interior for larger cookware, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for remote operation via the hOn app, 5 versatile wash programs featuring a 49-minute quick wash for half loads, and an adjustable upper basket alongside a 3-6-9 hour start-delay timer. However, it holds a less efficient E-class energy rating, lacks a dedicated third cutlery drawer, and features static, non-foldable lower racks that restrict ultimate stacking flexibility.
