Which washing machine is better: Haier or Candy?

Choosing a home appliance is hardly a simple task, given the wide variety of models and features available on the market. So, we decided to help you out by comparing two units, one from China and the other from Italy. These appliances are very different in both appearance and functionality, making it difficult to determine a winner in this battle. However, we'll still try to find out who will prevail: a Haier washing machine or a Candy?

What do experts say about Candy cars?

First, let's discuss the features and functions of washing machines from the renowned Italian company Candy, which has been successfully operating in the Russian market for many years and even has its own manufacturing facility in the country. Having a local factory reduces production costs and significantly simplifies the delivery of all components for quick service and repairs. This brand's model range includes various types of devices, varying in capacity, dimensions, and functionality. This helps you choose the best option for your specific family's needs.

Candy washing machines have a key advantage that sets them apart from their competitors: their high level of technology. The company's product range includes not only traditional models with mechanical controls and a standard set of programs, but also machines with touch panels, large displays, and even the ability to sync the machine with a smartphone. Remote start significantly saves the user time, providing peace of mind and comfort. Additionally, the company offers other advantages, such as:

• value for money;
• stylish design;
• a large selection of programs.

It's worth noting that Candy washing machines have relatively low water and electricity consumption, helping save money!

We've covered the pros, now let's move on to the cons. First of all, it's worth noting that this company's units are made of very cheap plastic, which emits a rather strong odor. It's not considered harmful, but it feels like the manufacturers bribed the person issuing the safety certificate.

Moreover, the equipment is quite difficult to repair. This is due to its monolithic, non-detachable tank, which significantly complicates bearing replacement. The control module is poorly protected from power surges and high humidity, causing it to fail quickly. The bearings are poorly lubricated, and some technicians have encountered units without any lubrication at all.

We'll stop here. Overall, washing machines from this brand don't feel particularly robust, but they still perform well for the price. That's why many homeowners continue to prefer them.

Expert opinions on the Haier machine

Chinese products have gained popularity among Russian consumers thanks to their quality and reliability. Haier home appliances are distinguished by their affordable prices and high performance. The company's product range includes both affordable models for everyday use and more professional devices. It's worth noting that even the most basic Haier appliances are somewhat more expensive than the competitors discussed here.

It's also worth noting that these washing machines boast a stylish design. The company closely monitors market trends and produces only those models that fully comply with European trends in appearance, color schemes, and material combinations. An extended warranty confirms the high quality of their workmanship. The sellers are committed to supporting their machines for three years, although the stated warranty period is up to 12 years, and the actual warranty is even longer. There have been no complaints about frequent breakdowns.

Haier appliances feature enhanced spinning, with the drum rotating at up to 1600 rpm. Users should be careful, however, as it is best to use the gentle cycle when washing delicate fabrics, as high spin speeds can damage the garment. Washing machines from this brand are primarily designed for families of 3-4 people. The minimum load capacity is 6 kg, and the largest model can hold over 10 kg of laundry. Other advantages include:

• low noise level;
• simple control;
• space saving;
• quick 15-minute wash in separate units.

Speaking of the unit's weak points, the control module is perhaps the most worthy of mention. Repairs are rarely necessary because it is damaged and can no longer function, forcing the owner to replace all components. This company's units also have a rather limited range of modes, requiring time-consuming manual configuration. This may not be a pleasant situation for a modern user.

Kandy or Hyer: Deciding the Winner

Based on all the information received today, we can conclude that the Chinese washing machine Haier is the clear leader. It combines all the necessary qualities: high reliability, decent functionality, a durable body, and a stylish appearance. This "home helper" will easily take care of the laundry of a large family with small children.

Although Candy lost the battle, many of its models boast a wide selection, simple controls, excellent functionality, and incorporate modern technologies. Therefore, it's hard to say that this model was completely defeated. Let's say Haier beat its rival by just a hair. We wish you to always make informed choices and buy only the appliances that best suit your needs.
