Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy Smart Pro CRO4 H7A2TE-S

  • At 48 cm deep it fits into a narrow space.
  • The 7 kg capacity suits a couple or a small household.
  • Humidity sensors and a laundry detection system help stop the cycle at the right time.
  • Bidirectional drum movement turns the load both ways.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connect it to the hOn app.
  • A partial load uses 0.9 kWh, half the energy of a full load.

What we don't like about Candy Smart Pro CRO4 H7A2TE-S

  • At 67 dB it is loud enough to notice in a quiet room.
  • The 99 L drum is small, so bulky items fit less easily.
  • There is no light inside the drum, so the clothes are hard to see.
  • At 38.3 kg it is still heavy to move alone.
  • Its 7 kg capacity may be small for a family's weekly wash.

Verdict

At 48 cm deep, the Candy Smart Pro CRO4 H7A2TE-S is built for a small utility room, a flat or a kitchen corner. Its 7 kg load and 99 L drum suit one or two people rather than a family's weekly wash. Humidity sensors and a laundry detection system help end the cycle when the clothes are dry, and the fast function handles a short load. Bidirectional drum movement turns the drum both ways. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bring in the hOn app, with a wool program, a shirt program and an outdoor program on top. The trade-off is noise: at 67 dB it is loud enough to notice in a quiet room, and the drum is small for bulky items. It suits a buyer who is short on floor space and washes mostly everyday clothes.
