Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy TCA263D2-S

  • At 40.5 cm wide it fits into a narrow space.
  • At 55.5 kg it is easier to move than a heavier model.
  • 17 programs give plenty of choice for different fabrics.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min.
  • Water use of 41 L per cycle keeps the water bill modest.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connect it to a phone.
  • The outdoor/sport and wool cycles cover active wear and delicate knits.

What we don't like about Candy TCA263D2-S

  • Energy use of 65 kWh per 100 cycles is high.
  • The 6 kg capacity is small for a family's washing.
  • Spin noise of 79 dB is loud.
  • At 86 cm tall, it may not fit under a worktop.
  • There is no overflow protection, so a blocked drain can cause spills.

Verdict

A utility room or flat with little space is where the Candy TCA263D2-S makes sense. At 40.5 cm wide it is slim, and it weighs 55.5 kg. It uses 41 L of water per cycle, which is a good figure for a small load. The 17 programs are the real draw, and the fastest cycle takes 14 min. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connect it to a phone, and pre-mix technology is a handy extra. The trade-offs are the small 6 kg drum and a spin noise of 79 dB, which is loud. Energy use is 65 kWh per 100 cycles, which is high, and there is no inverter motor. It suits a single person or a couple who wash small loads and do not mind a louder spin.
