What we like about Candy 1272DW3/1-11

  • At 45 cm deep, it suits small kitchens and flats.
  • 16 washing programs cover a wide range of fabrics.
  • The fast function gives a quick wash for a light load.
  • Delay start lets you set the wash for a time that suits you.
  • Smart diagnosis helps spot faults early.
  • Consumption statistics show how much you use over time.

What we don't like about Candy 1272DW3/1-11

  • Energy class C means higher running costs than the top classes.
  • A 7 kg drum is small for bulky loads like duvets.
  • At 63 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • The front door needs space in front to open fully.

Verdict

Depth is what makes the Candy 1272DW3/1-11 a good fit for a small flat, at 45 cm from front to back. It is a 7 kg front-loader, so it suits one or two people rather than a full family. It has 16 washing programs, and the fast function and delay start give some control over timing. Smart diagnosis helps find faults early, and consumption statistics show what you have used over time. NFC connectivity is an unusual extra, and it lets a phone work with the machine. The trade-off is energy: its class C rating means higher running costs than the top classes. It suits a single person or a couple who want a neat, space-saving machine and do not need a big drum.
