Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy CS1492DW4

  • Sixteen washing programs cover jeans, wool and hygiene loads.
  • The delay start runs up to 24 h, so timing is flexible.
  • The spin can drop to 0 RPM for delicate loads.
  • NFC connectivity is a rare extra for a budget machine.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min for a quick top-up.
  • Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten item.

What we don't like about Candy CS1492DW4

  • Spin noise reaches 79 dB, which is loud in a small home.
  • At 74 kg it is hard to move, even for cleaning behind.
  • Energy efficiency class B means higher running costs than an A-rated machine.
  • There is no steam, so stubborn creases need ironing.
  • The ECO cycle takes 228 min, so the economical wash is slow.

Verdict

A household with jeans, wool and someone who has allergies will find the Candy CS1492DW4 handy for a busy week. It runs 16 programs, among them the jeans, hygiene, anti-allergy and wool cycles, so each load has its own setting. The delay start goes up to 24 h, so you can load it in the morning and let it run later in the day. The spin can drop to 0 RPM, so delicate loads can skip it, which suits woollens and other fine items. It also has NFC connectivity, a rare extra for a budget machine. The trade-off is the spin: 79 dB is loud in a small home. It suits a family of four or five who want many cycles and do not mind a noisy spin.
