What we like about Candy CSS128TW4-11

  • A 52 cm depth suits a narrow or shallow space.
  • The 58 L drum gives an 8 kg load room to move.
  • Four programs under an hour cover quick refreshes.
  • 16 programs include a pre-wash and a fast function.
  • Overflow protection and foam control guard against spills and suds.
  • Load balancing system keeps the drum steady during spin.

What we don't like about Candy CSS128TW4-11

  • There is no inverter motor, which is what usually keeps a machine quieter and longer-lasting.
  • No AquaStop, so a leaking hose has no built-in guard.
  • The 77 dB spin is loud enough to notice in a quiet kitchen.
  • At 65.7 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.

Verdict

Tight spaces are where the Candy CSS128TW4-11 makes most sense, thanks to its 52 cm depth. It takes 8 kg of washing in a 58 L drum, and the 4 quick programs under an hour suit a busy week. The 16 programs cover the usual cottons and synthetics, and the pre-wash helps dirtier loads. Overflow protection and foam control also guard against spills and suds. The spin reaches 77 dB, while washing itself is 54 dB, so the final spin is the loud part. The trade-off is the missing inverter motor and AquaStop, the built-in guard against leaking hoses. It suits a buyer with a small room who washes everyday loads and does not need a quiet spin or a leak guard.
