Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy CS 1292D3-01

  • 16 washing programs include Baby Care and wool cycles.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a full load in one go.
  • At 52 cm deep it suits a tight corner.
  • AquaStop protects against leaks.
  • Delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • Unbalanced load detection helps keep the drum steady.

What we don't like about Candy CS 1292D3-01

  • The spin reaches 76 dB, which carries into the next room.
  • Energy use of 218 kWh per year is high for daily use.
  • At 68 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • There is no load balancing system, so an uneven load relies on unbalanced load detection alone.
  • It uses 10600 L of water per year, which adds up.

Verdict

Sixteen programs and a 9 kg drum make the Candy CS 1292D3-01 a sensible pick for a small household. At 52 cm deep it suits a tight corner. The Baby Care and wool cycles cover delicate items, and the delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead. AquaStop guards against leaks, and unbalanced load detection helps the drum stay steady. The trade-off is noise: the spin reaches 76 dB, which carries into the next room, though washing runs at 57 dB. A spin speed selection lets you lower the spin to cut noise. Energy use is 218 kWh per year, which is on the high side for daily use. It suits a buyer who wants a slim machine and can live with the spin noise.
