Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy BR 48SL6-S

  • A 48.8 cm depth fits tight kitchens and small flats.
  • At 56 kg it is easier to move when you clean behind it.
  • 16 programs and a cold wash cover most laundry needs.
  • Spin speed can be chosen to suit each load.
  • Consumption statistics show how much energy and water each wash uses.
  • The motor is covered for 10 years.

What we don't like about Candy BR 48SL6-S

  • The spin is fairly loud at 72 dB.
  • The 8 kg drum is small for a large family.
  • The 52 L drum has little room for bulky items like duvets.
  • The ECO cycle takes 218 min.

Verdict

At 48.8 cm deep and 56 kg, the Candy BR 48SL6-S is built for a small kitchen or a flat. It holds 8 kg of washing in a 52 L drum, and 16 programs cover most fabrics. Steam, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are all included, plus a wash assist function and a night or silent option. Energy use is 42 kWh per 100 cycles, and the ECO cycle takes 218 min. The spin is fairly loud at 72 dB, and 8 kg is small for a large family. It suits a single person or a couple who want a tidy machine with plenty of programs and do not need a big drum. At 59.5 cm wide, it fits a standard gap. The motor is covered for 10 years, which is reassuring.
