Third-party reviews

What customers like about Candy EWY485SG8S

  • 16 programs cover everyday loads and extras.
  • A wash uses 42 L of water.
  • Washing uses 38 kWh per 100 cycles, a low energy use.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you control cycles from a phone.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h suits busy days and shift patterns.
  • Steam function and prewash add options for dirtier loads.

What customers don't like about Candy EWY485SG8S

  • Drying only 5 kg means a big wash needs two runs.
  • Spin noise of 72 dB is audible at the end of a cycle.
  • No automatic drawer cleaning, so the drawer needs cleaning by hand.
  • Wash and dry together use 62 L of water and 266 kWh per 100 cycles, far more than a wash alone.

Verdict

A washer dryer you can control from your phone, the Candy EWY485SG8S suits a small family that likes a lot of choice. It has 16 programs and an 8 kg wash load. A wash uses 42 L of water and 38 kWh per 100 cycles, which is a low figure. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you track a cycle or start one from another room, and the delay start runs up to 24 h. Steam and a prewash add more options. The trade-off is drying. It dries 5 kg, so a full wash load needs splitting, and a wash-and-dry cycle uses 266 kWh per 100 cycles. The spin reaches 1400 rpm, but at 72 dB it is audible. It suits someone who runs the machine every day, likes smart control and does not mind drying in two parts.
