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 4126BWMUC-S

  • A 12 kg capacity takes big family loads in one go.
  • The 83 L drum gives bedding room to move.
  • An inverter motor and class A energy rating keep running costs down.
  • Three programs finish in under an hour, and the fastest takes 14 min.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you control it from a phone.
  • Hygiene, anti-allergy and wool cycles suit special needs.

What we don't like about Candy 4126BWMUC-S

  • At 74 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.
  • The 67 cm depth needs a deep space, so measure before buying.
  • The 80 dB spin is loud, so run it when no one is trying to sleep.
  • It uses 53 L of water per cycle, which adds up over a year of big loads.

Verdict

Capacity is the main reason to look at the Candy 4126BWMUC-S, a 12 kg machine. It is aimed at a big family, or anyone who washes duvets, towels and sports kit every week. The 83 L drum takes big loads, and an inverter motor with class A energy use keeps running costs down. Three programs finish in under an hour, and 60 downloadable ones add choice on top of the 16 built in, so it rarely runs out of options. The trade-off is size and noise: it is 67 cm deep and 74 kg, and the spin reaches 80 dB, which is loud at full speed. It suits a family with room to spare and a big weekly wash, and it is less of a fit for a small flat.
