What we like about Candy BS 49B9-S

  • A 9 kg drum takes a big family load.
  • It uses 34 kWh per 100 cycles, so running costs stay low.
  • 16 programmes include a Baby Care cycle.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min, handy for a quick top-up.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you control it from a phone.
  • A nozzle rinses the door seal during the cycle.

What we don't like about Candy BS 49B9-S

  • At 67 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.
  • The ECO cycle takes 228 min, so an economical wash takes nearly four hours.
  • The spin reaches 72 dB, so it is not the quietest choice.
  • In one test, recirculation did not switch on during the drum clean programme.
  • Some unpacking steps are awkward for one person.

Verdict

16 programmes and a 9 kg drum make the Candy BS 49B9-S a good pick for a big household. It uses 34 kWh per 100 cycles, so running costs stay low. The Baby Care cycle suits homes with a baby, and a nozzle rinses the door seal during the cycle. Automatic dosing takes care of the detergent, so there is less to measure. The 14 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick top-up, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you control it from a phone. The trade-offs are weight, time and noise. At 67 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it, the ECO cycle takes 228 min, and the spin reaches 72 dB. It suits a busy family that washes often and does not mind a long ECO cycle.
