Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy 410BL8-S

  • A 10 kg drum takes a full family load in one go.
  • Power use is 41 kWh per 100 cycles, which keeps bills lower.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start and check washes from a phone.
  • Load balancing keeps the drum steady during the spin.
  • A delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • 16 programs give you plenty of choice for each load.

What we don't like about Candy 410BL8-S

  • The ECO cycle takes 238 min, which is slow.
  • The spin runs at 72 dB, which is loud in a quiet home.
  • At 67 kg it is hard to move around the kitchen.
  • There is no automatic dosing system, so you measure the detergent yourself.
  • There is no AquaStop system to protect the floor from hose leaks.

Verdict

Bulk is the main reason to choose the Candy 410BL8-S, a machine for full family loads. It uses 41 kWh per 100 cycles, which keeps the power bill low for a machine this size. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start a wash or check its progress from your phone. There are 16 programs and a steam option, so you have plenty of choice for each load. The spin runs at 1400 RPM, so clothes come out fairly dry. The catch is time: the ECO cycle takes 238 min, and the spin is loud at 72 dB. At 67 kg it is heavy, so it stays where you put it. It suits a busy home that washes big loads and likes to keep an eye on the machine from another room.
