Third-party reviews

What customers like about Candy CI 4A2F0SA

  • 0.54 kWh per cycle keeps power use low.
  • Heats water to 75 °C for greasy pans and heavy soil.
  • Voice control lets you start or check a cycle by speaking.
  • Wi-Fi lets you run the cycle from your phone.
  • Door opens by itself at the end, so the dishes dry better.
  • A half load option runs a small load without a full cycle.

What customers don't like about Candy CI 4A2F0SA

  • No load sensor, so the wash does not adjust to how full the rack is.
  • No favorite cycle, so the same options must be set each time.
  • Quick wash takes 35 min, which is long when you are in a hurry.
  • No detergent tablet counter in the app, so you track tablets yourself.

Verdict

Power use is where the Candy CI 4A2F0SA stands out, at 0.54 kWh per cycle for a 14 place setting machine. It can heat water to 75 °C for a deep clean, which helps with greasy pans. Voice control and Bluetooth set it apart, and the Wi-Fi link lets you run it from your phone. The door opens by itself at the end, and a half load option, delicate wash and delay start of up to 24 h cover most daily needs. At 42 dB it is quiet enough to run while you watch television in the next room. The trade-off is that the load sensor is missing and there is no favorite cycle to save your own settings. It suits a household that wants low power use and smart control.
