Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy TCA063D3-S

  • At 40.5 cm wide, it fits into a narrow space.
  • 17 washing programs give plenty of choice.
  • 41 L of water a cycle keeps water use down.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connect it to a phone.
  • The 55.5 kg body and anti-vibration design keep the spin steady.
  • A 14 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick wash.

What we don't like about Candy TCA063D3-S

  • The 6 kg capacity is small for a family's wash.
  • The 1000 RPM spin leaves clothes damp.
  • The 75 dB spin is loud enough to notice in a quiet flat.
  • Energy class C and 56 kWh per 100 cycles push running costs up.
  • At 86 cm high, it needs enough headroom in its space.

Verdict

Only 40.5 cm wide, the Candy TCA063D3-S fits a narrow flat or a tight utility room where a standard washer will not go. The 6 kg capacity is the trade-off, so it suits one or two people rather than a family. It has 17 washing programs and a 14 min fastest cycle, which is handy for a quick top-up. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you run it from a phone, and voice control works with it too. A night option keeps the noise down for late cycles. The 1000 RPM spin is slow, so clothes leave damp and take longer to dry, and the 46 L drum is small. It suits a single person or a couple who want a slim machine with plenty of settings.
