Candy CDCF 6 07 Dishwasher Reviews

The Candy CDCF 6s dishwasher is, frankly, an acquired taste. Miniature dishwashers aren't everyone's cup of tea; they have their fair share of detractors, but they also have their supporters. Let's see what people have to say about this model. There's also a similar Candy 07 series dishwasher, and we've also collected reviews for it.

Positive opinions

Ann 13, Sevastopol

I love cooking and entertaining. Every weekend we have a family feast, and naturally, there's a huge pile of dishes. Nothing spoils the joy of a get-together with friends more than this dreadful mountain of baking sheets, pots, salad bowls, plates, and so on. It's impossible to get my son and husband to wash the dishes, so I have to do the heavy lifting. After an hour and a half of standing at the sink, all I can do is stare at my peeling nails and partially cracked skin on my hands.

The worst things to wash are burnt frying pans, roasters, baking sheets, and pots.

Now all this can be forgotten as a bad dream, because we now have a dishwasher. For two years, I've been begging my husband to buy me a dishwasher, and now my dream has come true. Why? Because we've been focusing on compact machines, as we couldn't have fit any other type into our tiny kitchen, no matter how hard we tried. The tabletop machine is a bit small, you won't be able to fit all the dishes in it at once, but no problem, I'll wash them in 2-3 washes. It may take longer, but your hands will be healthier.

A month ago, I was looking at a countertop dishwasher from this company. I didn't buy it right away because I doubted I'd use such a small unit, as it's impossible to fit even a large pot in it. I thought and thought, and finally bought it. I don't regret it one bit; it really cleans well and saves my wife and me time.

It's a good dishwasher. The only drawback is that you have to play Tetris when arranging the dishes, as the space is limited. Otherwise, it's perfect; the dishes come out sparkling like silver. I can't remember the last time I saw them so clean, even though I tried so hard to wash them by hand. Arranging the dishes correctly is essential, otherwise you won't get a good wash. I learned this rule right from the moment I bought it and haven't had any problems.

Excellent appliance. I didn't really want to place it on the counter or the refrigerator, so I asked my husband to screw two heavy-duty brackets to the wall, and I mounted the dishwasher on them. Now it takes up virtually no space at all, hanging on the wall and washing dishes reliably. By the way, it washes dishes amazingly; I didn’t even expect that jets of water could wash so well. All my skepticism about dishwashers evaporated after 2 weeks of using my own, albeit compact, dishwasher.

I decided not to put the dishwasher on top of the refrigerator on principle. I was afraid of an accidental spill.

Zaya, Irkutsk

I was looking for a compact dishwasher to put on a kitchen countertop. I didn't have room for a full-size machine, which was a shame. When I saw the prices for compact dishwashers, I was surprised to learn that the price difference compared to standard models was negligible, even though I'd expected compact appliances to be cheaper.

Nevertheless, I'm pleased, to say the least. True, at first, I wasn't very skilled at arranging the dishes in the basket, and this "mouse-like" fuss took up a lot of time. Now everything is perfect. A minute and the dishes are arranged in the basket, the wash cycle is running, and I go off to do other household chores. I come back, and the dishes are already clean and dry, just waiting to be moved to the cupboard—isn't that lovely?

Negative opinions

I have a very unpleasant experience with this dishwasher. We bought it a year ago. For the first week, I couldn't be happier with it—it cleaned well, ran quietly, and without any problems, just like in a commercial. But then a week passed, and suddenly, when I walked into the kitchen, I saw the machine frozen and a huge puddle on the floor. The water had flooded the cabinet where the dishwasher was standing, and in the cabinet, there was a bag of flour. The flour, of course, had turned into dough, but that's not the point. I didn't immediately understand where the water was leaking from, and when I did, I was very surprised.

The door leaked. And not in the usual place, near the rubber seal, but near the hinges. Apparently it was a manufacturing defect. I took the machine to the store; I'd heard somewhere that I could request a replacement within 14 days of the defective appliance. They told me to leave and refused to accept my claim. Believe it or not, I had to file a lawsuit over such a trivial matter. It all went on for four months, and in the end, I somehow managed to defend my rights. I've sworn off buying cheap appliances ever again!

Larisa, Vladivostok

The dishwasher would have been great if it hadn't broken a month later. I never figured out what the problem was; it simply stopped working. The service representative took it away for repairs and I never saw him again. Two months later, I managed to get money back from the seller for the faulty machine. What a fight that was! So, I have a very negative impression of this compact dishwasher from this company. I understand that maybe I just got a bad one, but I will never buy it again and I don't recommend it to anyone!

Svetlana, Kursk

What's so good about it? It rattles like crazy, refuses to wash dishes properly, and smells like plastic. It's immediately obvious the assembly is crap, not to mention the spare parts. My husband didn't like the machine either, and he's a trained engineer and knows his way around technology. We didn't buy it, even though the salesman was so pushy! But my mom did. So, guess what, now she's asking us to take this "unfinished oven" to the garage so she can't see it!

There was a promotion on these dishwasher models at the store, so the whole family went shopping.

Lisa, Arkhangelsk

I first encountered this dishwasher in a rented apartment. My student friends and I rented a "flat" with furniture and appliances for exams. There was this wreck of a dishwasher there. It was tiny, didn't wash any dishes, and just hummed terribly. I don't think the owners would have left anything good for the tenants. Just in case, I'm sharing my experience so that no one accidentally buys one of these dishwashers—it's useless, nothing but problems!

Elvira, Moscow

They were looking for compact under-sink dishwashersWe ended up settling on a cheaper model from the company mentioned above. In short, we're very dissatisfied. It just doesn't work properly, no matter what the service center advised. We stacked the dishes correctly and bought the most expensive tablets, but it was no use; the washing quality was below average. We rate the model at 2 points, although even this is too much for it!

In conclusion, we'd like to point out that this dishwasher hasn't impressed consumers. While enthusiastic reviews are rare, negative ones are plentiful. This may just be our impression, but the final decision is yours. Good luck!
