What we like about Candy EY 2108-S

  • A 10 kg capacity handles a full load for a couple or small family.
  • The 41 kWh per 100 cycles keeps energy use low for an A-rated machine.
  • Spin noise of 70 dB keeps the final spin fairly quiet.
  • The 35 cm door opening makes loading easier.
  • A 14 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick wash.
  • AI technology and pre-mix technology are less common extras.

What we don't like about Candy EY 2108-S

  • There is no steam function, a gap for anyone who wants it.
  • Only 12 programs, which is a short list of options.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.
  • The ECO cycle takes 238 min.
  • There is no automatic dosing, so you measure detergent by hand.

Verdict

Low energy use and a 10 kg load make the Candy EY 2108-S a sensible pick for a couple or small family. Spin noise is a low 70 dB, which helps in a shared flat. The 61 L drum gives bulky items some room. A 14 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick load, and the 35 cm door opening makes loading easy. The trade-off is a shorter list of options: 12 programs, and no steam function. There is no Wi-Fi either, so it cannot be controlled from a phone. The ECO cycle takes 238 min, and at 60.1 cm deep it needs a full-depth space. It suits a buyer who wants quiet spinning and low energy use without extras like steam or an app.
