To understand this, it's worth taking a detailed look at the characteristics and nuances of Candy's slim and compact washing machines in this review.

Modern solutions for Candy machines

Among the various models produced by this manufacturer, many feature a very spacious drum that can hold up to 8 kg. For those who prefer larger doors, there's also a wide selection. Many of them feature Smart Touch, which allows you to control the washing machine remotely. This feature requires a smartphone or tablet running the Android operating system.

Candy's so-called slimline automatic washing machines feature a built-in Mix Power System. This allows users to wash several items of different colors at once without worrying about fading or damaging the fabric.

The washing quality is enhanced by the Shiatsu drum coating, which was developed by Candy specialists.

Super narrow models

Super-slim washing machines are those with a depth of less than 40 centimeters. It's a mistake to assume that size negatively impacts washing performance or capacity. Below, we'll introduce the key features and functions of the most popular models.

The Candy CS3Y 1062DS/2 is a front-loading washing machine with a capacity of up to 6 kg. The laundry compartment has a diameter of 35 cm. At the same time, it is quite compact, with a depth of only 38 cm. Control is carried out using a convenient touch panel, as well as using any gadget with Android OS. All information is displayed on a digital display.

The spin cycle reaches a maximum speed of 1000 rpm. When starting the wash cycle, the user can select one of 16 modes. A timer can also be set, meaning the wash cycle will begin at a specified time. The washing machine's drum is manufactured using Shiatsu technology.

The Candy RCS3 1152DS/2 is similar to its predecessor in many ways, but it does have some unique features. The washing machine is more compact, measuring 60 cm wide and 38 cm deep. The load capacity is limited to 5 kg. This Candy model features electronic controls, and all necessary information is also displayed on the digital display. It can also be controlled via a smartphone or tablet.

This machine offers 16 wash programs, and they're quite diverse. The mixed-fabric program is considered convenient, eliminating the need to match items of similar color, texture, and quality. The spin cycle can reach up to 1100 RPM. The user can set the spin speed manually, but the default setting is maximum. It's worth noting that the drum is fairly standard, but that's not to say you shouldn't expect high-quality washing from this model. The machine washes very well.

The Candy CS4 1062D1/2 is the most compact model in this group. However, with a 36-centimeter depth, it washes a maximum of 4 kg of laundry. The controls are mechanical only, meaning there are no digital displays, which can often be inconvenient. The spin function isn't as effective as in previous models. The maximum allowed RPM is 600. The tank is made of stainless steel, which is quite practical. This washing machine doesn't have many washing programs. These include:

• wool;
• delicate fabrics;
• super rinse;
• quick wash.

Almost all super-slim models have an A+ energy rating and operate relatively quietly. They all feature automatic temperature selection and leakage protection. However, they lack child safety features. When choosing a washing machine from this series, it's important to first consider the most important parameters.

Narrow Candy

Candy's narrow washing machines are models with a depth of 40 to 45 centimeters. This is the most diverse line, and choosing the most suitable washing machine can be quite difficult. Each model has its own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. The most popular machines are those we'll describe now.

The Candy CS4 1062D1/2 has dimensions of 60 x 40 x 85 cm. Its maximum load capacity is 6 kg. The washing machine's controls are electronic, but all operations can be performed using an Android phone or tablet. Data is displayed on a small digital display. This model uses approximately 45 liters of water per wash.

The maximum spin speed is 1000 rpm. Washing is also possible without spinning. A total of 15 washing modes are available, and individual settings for each program can be adjusted. These include economy wash, wrinkle prevention, and mixed fabric wash.

You can delay washing by setting a timer for up to 24 hours.

The tub is made of plastic, and the drum is manufactured using Candy-SHIATSU technology. Additionally, the washing machine features leakage protection, child safety lock, balance control, and foam level monitoring.

The Candy CS4 1061DB1/2 has the same dimensions and laundry capacity as the model reviewed above. It features smart electronic controls. You can also control the machine from your smartphone. The delay timer allows for a maximum of 9 hours, although this is often sufficient.

1. The diameter of the front loading hatch is 35 cm, the tank is made of plastic.
2. Among the most popular modes are those for washing delicate fabrics, children's clothing, jeans, and mixed fabrics. Especially stubborn stains can be easily tackled using the pre-soak function.
3. You can turn off the spin cycle after washing, or select the speed yourself. The maximum speed is 1000 rpm.

The Candy GVS34 116DC2 is more compact than previous models, but still roomy and easily handles 6 kg of laundry in a single wash. It also features more convenient touch controls and can be adjusted using Android devices. This machine uses approximately 48 liters of water per wash. It can be used with any of 15 washing programs. If desired, the housewife can change the water temperature, select an economical mode, and enter other user settings.

The maximum spin speed is 1100 rpm, but this can be adjusted. The spin cycle can be turned off if needed. A drum specially manufactured using patented Shiatsu technology ensures high-quality performance across all programs.

Overall, the features of washing machines in this series are largely similar. When choosing, pay special attention to the control system, the availability of the necessary washing programs, and safety features.

Compact models

Compact Candy washing machines are rightfully considered the most popular on the market. This stems from the harmonious combination of their compact size and powerful functionality. Compact Candy models can easily be installed under the sink and other spaces where a traditional washing machine would never fit. We'll provide a brief overview of the main models in this group.

The Candy Aquamatic 10T can handle a load of 3 kg per wash, which is quite heavy for a machine only 70 cm tall. It is controlled mechanically. Its energy efficiency rating is considered high, ranking it at C. The drum spin speed can reach 1000 rpm. This model does not have leakage protection, but it does have a child safety lock. A fairly comprehensive set of washing programs is also available.

The Candy Activa 108 AC is equally compact, with a wash capacity of 5 kg. It has mechanical controls; commands cannot be given to the machine via gadgets. This model's energy consumption is slightly lower, ranking it in Class B. It offers 15 wash programs, allowing you to adjust the water temperature and drum speed. In other respects, this washing machine is similar to the previous model.

The Candy Activa Smart 12 is considered more advanced. It holds 5 kg of laundry per wash. Like most compact machines, it is controlled mechanically. Energy consumption has been improved and ranks in Class A. Furthermore, the drum speed can reach 1200 rpm in spin mode. Upon startup, the speed is adjusted manually, along with the water temperature. A delayed-wash timer is also included.

Compact washing machines fit perfectly into a small bathroom, taking up minimal space while still fully performing their intended functions. This series offers a wide selection of washing machines with respectable specifications.
