How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy 1274DWMST/1-S

  • All 9 programs finish in under an hour.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min.
  • Energy class A keeps power use low.
  • A 45 cm depth slots into a shallow kitchen gap.
  • Steam helps ease creases in everyday clothes.
  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and voice control let you start a wash without standing at the machine.

What we don't like about Candy 1274DWMST/1-S

  • With 9 programs, the choice is short for mixed fabrics.
  • A 7 kg capacity is modest for big loads like bedding.
  • Front loading means bending down to load and unload.
  • A spin speed of 1200 RPM leaves clothes damper than a faster spin would.

Verdict

Short on time? The Candy 1274DWMST/1-S runs all of its 9 programs in under an hour, and the fastest takes 14 min. It is a 7 kg front-loader in a slim 45 cm depth, so it suits a small flat or a kitchen with little room. Steam helps with creases, the energy class is A, and the smart diagnosis function checks the machine when something goes wrong. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you control it from a phone, and voice control works with it too, so hands-free starts are possible. The trade-off is choice, since 9 programs is a short list for a household with mixed fabrics. It suits someone who does frequent small loads and wants a quick, economical machine.
