Third-party reviews

What we like about Candy RO4 1274DWMT/1-S

  • 45 kWh per 100 cycles keeps power use down.
  • Water use is 41 L per cycle, a sensible figure for everyday loads.
  • The 45.4 cm depth suits a narrow space.
  • The time remaining indicator shows how long is left.
  • Voice control and Bluetooth add smart features.
  • Delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.

What we don't like about Candy RO4 1274DWMT/1-S

  • The 48 L drum is small for bulky items.
  • At 7 kg it is small for a family of four.
  • Spin noise of 74 dB is noticeable in a quiet flat.
  • The 1200 RPM spin leaves heavy items damper, so they take longer to dry.

Verdict

Nine washing programs finish in under an hour, which is a good match for a busy household. The Candy RO4 1274DWMT/1-S is a 7 kg front-loader at 45 cm deep, so it suits a narrow space. Energy and water use are modest, at 45 kWh per 100 cycles and 41 L per cycle, and the 16 washing programs cover most fabrics. Pre-mix technology, Bluetooth and voice control are the extras, and the time remaining indicator shows how long a wash has left. Foam control and self-cleaning are fitted too. The trade-off is the drum: at 48 L it is small, so bulky items need more than one load. It suits a couple or a small family in a compact flat that does quick, frequent washes and wants some smart touches.
