What we like about Candy EY48SB8

  • 38 kWh per 100 cycles keeps the power bill low.
  • 41 L of water per cycle is a modest amount for an 8 kg load.
  • The spin noise of 70 dB is easy on the ears.
  • At 58 kg it stays steady during fast spins.
  • Three programs finish in under an hour.
  • A water jets system is built in as an extra.

What we don't like about Candy EY48SB8

  • The 51 L drum is small for duvets and bulky items.
  • The washing noise of 72 dB is loud during the wash.
  • There are only 12 washing programs.
  • There is no Wi-Fi or NFC, so the machine cannot be run from a phone.
  • At 58 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.

Verdict

Low power use is what stands out first on the Candy EY48SB8, a budget washing machine for everyday loads. It uses 38 kWh per 100 cycles and 41 L of water per cycle, so the bills stay low. The spin is quiet at 70 dB, and at 58 kg the machine stays put on the floor even at 1400 RPM. Three programs finish in under an hour, and the fastest cycle takes 14 min. It also has a child lock and a delay start of up to 24 h. The trade-off is the drum, which holds 51 L, so a large duvet may not fit. The washing noise is 72 dB, and there are only 12 programs. It suits a couple or a family who want low running costs, not the biggest loads.
