What we don't like about Candy CO12103DBBE1-47

  • 90 kWh per 100 cycles is high for everyday use.
  • The 1200 RPM spin leaves clothes damp, so drying takes longer.
  • The 79 dB spin is loud if it shares a wall with a bedroom.
  • Each cycle uses 51 L of water.

Verdict

Four or five people's washing fits in the 10 kg drum of the Candy CO12103DBBE1-47, a practical front loader. Its 16 programs cover the usual range, and the outdoor/sport, wool and anti-allergy cycles are handy extras. Three things stand out. Wi-Fi lets you start, pause and follow a cycle from your phone, the delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead, and the transparent door lets you check the wash without opening it. The trade-offs are running cost and noise. It uses 90 kWh per 100 cycles, which is high, and the 1200 RPM spin means drying takes longer. At 79 dB the spin is loud if the machine shares a wall with a bedroom. It suits a family who wants a big drum and phone control, and who does not mind the energy use.
