Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

What we like about Candy CSO44 1285TE/2-S

  • 16 programs include wool, jeans and hygiene cycles.
  • The 239700 cm³ volume takes big loads.
  • At 46.9 cm deep it suits a narrow space.
  • Bluetooth connectivity is an uncommon extra.
  • Steam and an anti-crease function reduce creases.
  • Smart diagnosis helps find faults.

What we don't like about Candy CSO44 1285TE/2-S

  • 73 kWh per 100 cycles is a lot of power for each wash.
  • Spin noise of 79 dB is loud.
  • Washing noise of 60 dB is noticeable in a quiet home.
  • There is no inverter motor.
  • At 86 cm high it may not fit under a standard worktop.

Verdict

The Candy CSO44 1285TE/2-S has 16 programs, including wool, jeans and hygiene cycles. Its interior volume of 239700 cm³ gives room for big loads. It is only 46.9 cm deep, so it suits a narrow space. Bluetooth is an uncommon extra, and it comes with consumption statistics. Steam technology is included, and the 8 kg capacity suits a full weekly wash. A display and smart diagnosis help when something goes wrong, and the 24 h delay start gives time to plan. Water use is 44 L per cycle, which is modest for an 8 kg load. The trade-off is energy and noise: 73 kWh per 100 cycles, and 79 dB on spin. It suits a household that washes often, wants plenty of programs and does not watch energy use closely.
