What customers like about Candy ProWash&Dry 500 10/6 kg

  • A 1600 RPM spin leaves clothes less damp before drying.
  • The 10 kg wash capacity suits big family loads.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow control from a phone.
  • The fast wash takes 14 min.
  • Unbalanced load detection keeps the machine steady.
  • Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten sock.

What customers don't like about Candy ProWash&Dry 500 10/6 kg

  • At 61 cm deep, it needs more room than a shallow alcove.
  • There is no interior light, so the drum is harder to see in the dark.
  • There is no automatic drawer cleaning.
  • There is no power-save mode.

Verdict

A 1600 RPM spin is the first thing to notice about the Candy ProWash & Dry 500. It takes 10 kg to wash and 6 kg to dry, so a big family load fits in one go. It has 16 washing programs and 3 drying programs, and the steam function helps with creases. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start or check a cycle from a phone. The fast wash finishes in 14 min, which suits a quick top-up. The trade-off is depth: at 61 cm it needs more room than a shallow alcove, so check the space before you buy. There is also no interior light and no NFC. It suits a family that washes big loads often and likes to control the machine from a phone.
