Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy RO1496DWMCRT/1-S

  • Nine of the 16 programs finish in under an hour.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min.
  • Steam and pre-mix technology help with tough stains.
  • Hygiene, anti-allergy and gentle cycles suit sensitive laundry.
  • Delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are both built in.

What we don't like about Candy RO1496DWMCRT/1-S

  • Spin noise of 76 dB is loud at the end of a cycle.
  • Spin-drying class B means clothes can come out damp.
  • At 63 kg it is heavy to move.
  • Every cycle uses 46 L of water, even for small loads.

Verdict

A 9 kg load fits in the Candy RO1496DWMCRT/1-S, a washer with 16 programs, nine of them under an hour. The fastest cycle takes 14 min, which suits a shirt you need tonight. Steam and pre-mix technology add extra help on tough stains, and it has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It uses 46 L of water per cycle and 49 kWh per 100 cycles, and the hygiene, anti-allergy and gentle cycles cover sensitive laundry. The trade-off is noise: at 76 dB on the spin, it can be heard from another room. Spin-drying is rated B, so clothes may come out a little damp. It suits a busy household that wants quick cycles and a range of extra programs, and it fits people who can live with a noisy final spin.
