    Verdict

    The Candy Smart CST 07LE/1S top-loading washing machine, with a 7 kg capacity, integrates smart features such as the Mix Power+ pre-mixing system and NFC Smart Touch connectivity for smartphone control. It has efficient water consumption of 42 litres per cycle and includes three quick programs under an hour, including Colours 59', Quick 30', and Perfect Cotton 59'. The Smart Check-up function monitors the washing machine's condition and assists with troubleshooting. The water jet system and load balancing enhance washing performance, while the ability to save preferred settings via the app increases convenience. On the downside, the machine has high energy consumption of 86 kWh per 100 cycles (energy class F), a limited spin speed of 1000 rpm, and a small drum volume of 42 litres. The absence of an inverter motor, time remaining indicator, and steam technology, along with a noise level of 61 dB during washing, are additional drawbacks of this model.
