Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy Smart Pro CROE C9TBGB-80

  • Its 59.5 cm width and 84 cm height suit a small utility room.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry.
  • Bidirectional drum movement tumbles the load both ways.
  • A transparent door lets you check the load without opening it.
  • Delayed start lets you set the cycle to begin later.
  • Temperature selection lets you choose a gentler heat for delicate fabrics.

What we don't like about Candy Smart Pro CROE C9TBGB-80

  • The yearly running cost is high, so bills add up over time.
  • Being self-standing, it cannot be built into a run of kitchen units.
  • Front loading means you bend down to reach the drum.
  • Its energy efficiency is only class B, so it will not stand out on running costs.

Verdict

At 59.5 cm wide and 84 cm tall, the Candy Smart Pro CROE C9TBGB-80 slips into a utility cupboard or a tight corner where a bigger dryer would not fit. It is a front-loading, self-standing condenser model, so it needs no special fitting. The humidity sensors judge when the load is dry, which helps stop clothes being over-dried. The drum turns both ways, so the load tumbles more freely. A display, temperature choice and delayed start give you control over each cycle, and a transparent door lets you check the washing without opening it. The trade-off is running cost: the energy class is B, and the yearly bill is the drawback. It suits a household with little space that wants the basics handled well and does not need extras.
