How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

What we don't like about Candy Smart CBW48D1W4-80

  • There is no inverter motor, a feature many washers at this level have.
  • There is no outdoor or sport cycle for sportswear.
  • The spin runs at 77 dB and the wash at 56 dB, which is audible in the next room.
  • There is no self-cleaning function, so the drum needs a wipe now and then.
  • There is no anti-vibration design, so a fast spin needs a level floor.

Verdict

The Candy Smart CBW48D1W4-80 is a built-in washing machine with an 8 kg capacity and 1400 RPM spin speed, rated B for energy efficiency. This model excels in water efficiency, using just 44 liters per cycle, and includes specialized programs for colors, jeans, and shirts. The machine features three quick wash programs under one hour, including a rapid 14-minute cycle, Mixed & Colored 59', and Perfect Cotton 59'. It incorporates the Mix Power System+ pre-mix technology that directly injects detergent onto fabrics for effective low-temperature cleaning, and includes a load balancing system for improved performance. The machine is compact, with a depth of 54 cm and smaller overall volume compared to standard sizes. On the downside, this Candy model operates at higher noise levels, producing 56 dB during washing and 77 dB during spinning. It lacks several advanced features found in similar machines, such as an inverter motor, steam technology, self-cleaning function, and specialized cycles for allergens and outdoor/sports wear.
