The chart below shows how prices vary among 9 kg Candy washing machines.
[vertical-chart-10189310551813199]When choosing the best 9 kg Candy washing machine, consider energy consumption, water use, spin-drying efficiency, noise levels, motor type, washing programs and features, drum volume, and dimensions.
9 kg Candy washing machines vary in energy efficiency. Models from the Rapido RO and Smart inverter series have an energy class A rating and consume about 49 kWh per 100 cycles. Other 9 kg Candy models fall into energy class D, consuming between 76 kWh and 90 kWh per 100 cycles. On average, 9 kg Candy washing machines use around 62.5 kWh per 100 cycles. For comparison, the average washing machine on the market consumes about 55 kWh per 100 cycles, while the average 9 kg washing machine uses about 49 kWh.

[pie-chart-30039529584522269]The spin-drying efficiency of 9 kg Candy washing machines falls under class B. In comparison, 5% of all washing machines on the market have a spin-drying efficiency class A, 85% have class B, and 10% have class C.
Spin-drying efficiency class measures how well a washing machine removes water from clothes during the spin cycle. The spin-drying efficiency class is directly linked to the maximum spin speed of the washing machine. For 9 kg Candy washing machines, the maximum spin speed ranges from 1200 to 1600 RPM, with 1400 RPM being the most common (about half of them can reach this speed). Higher spin speeds generally result in better water extraction, which can reduce drying time.
All 9 kg Candy washing machines also have a minimum spin speed of 400 RPM. This lower speed is useful when washing delicate items like wool, which can be damaged by higher spin speeds.
9 kg Candy washing machines produce spin noise levels between 75 and 80 dB, with an average of 77 dB. This makes them about 5 dB louder than the average 9 kg washing machine, which produces around 72 dB during the spin phase. Spin noise is the loudest part of the washing process, so it is the key measure of noisiness. About 18% of 9 kg Candy washing machines fall into noise emission class B (73 to 76 dB), around 82% into class C (77 to 80 dB), and about 0% into class D (80+ dB).
Washing noise levels in 9 kg Candy washing machines range from 48 to 61 dB, with an average of 51 dB (2 dB lower than the market average of 53 dB).
9 kg Candy washing machines usually have 15 preset washing programs. However, you can access up to 60 washing programs through the Candy simply-Fi app, which is the most offered by any brand. Common washing programs include Shirts, Cottons, Cottons + Prewash, Eco 40-60, 20°C, Synthetics, Jeans, Hygiene/Hygiene Plus 59', Wool/Hand Wash, Delicates/Delicates 59', Mixed & Coloured 59', Rapid 14' 30' 44', Perfect Cotton 59', Sport Plus 39', and Special 49'. Some advanced models also feature Smart Wash and Easy Iron Plus programs.
9 kg Candy washing machines have 3 to 7 fast cycles under 1 hour, such as Hygiene Plus 59', Delicates 59', Sport Plus 39', Mixed & Coloured 59', Rapid 14' 30' 44', Perfect Cotton 59', and Special 49'. The fastest cycle lasts 14 minutes.
Most 9 kg Candy washing machines include washing functions such as Easy Iron, Prewash, Extra-Rinse, AquaPlus, Hygiene +, Stain Level, and Night & Day. However, they lack the Rinse-Hold and Extra-fast functions, which are common in other 9 kg washing machines.
9 kg Candy washing machines come with around 15 features (5 more than the market average). They include a laundry detection system (KG Mode), foam control system, load balancing system, Acqua stop, self-cleaning feature, memory function, and smart diagnosis. Most of them also have Pre-mix technology (Mix Power System+), steam technology, and NFC or Wi-Fi connectivity controlled by the hOn or Candy simply-Fi app. About half of these washing machines feature a Speed-Drive inverter motor with a 10-year warranty.
However, 9 kg Candy washing machines do not include an automatic dosing system, automatic drawer cleaning and AI technology.
All 9 kg Candy washing machines have a drum volume of 58 liters and measure 60x53x85 cm. If you need a larger or smaller drum volume or a different size (like slim), you should check other brands.
