RIPPING TAILS

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: tears clothes

Our Candy Aquaviva 1000 AQ 100 was installed in Feb 2001. So far, it hasn't ripped any (shirt) tails, but that is only by chance. It has torn some arms. Just out of full guarantee, it somehow grabbed a jumper and left a hole in the sleeve. We took this as a one-off and ignored the problem. The inside of the drum was smooth with nothing sticking out which could possibly cause the problem. It was inexplicable. Since then, even when deliberately used ...
...pairs of trousers, more jumpers and other clothes - about ten items in all, about 70% still wearable (but not away from home), others beyond use. At the start of 2004, the door seal started to visibly disintegrate in one place. We wondered if the early stages of this break up had caused clothing to be caught then released, causing damage. We finally wrote to the manufacturers in March 2004. The guarantee by then was for free parts, but we pay for ...

I WANT CANDY

Advantages: Cheap, Energy Efficient, Variety of Wash Cycles, Activa Wash Cycle, Quiet
Disadvantages: Some Programmes Seem to take forever

...was first introduced to the Candy Go 1682, which met all of my criteria detailed above but which was available for £299.99. Now because this is a review of the specific machine rather than the store where I purchased it from I will not go into detail regarding delivery charges, fees for installation or disposal of old machines, suffice to say that these factors need to be taken into consideration when deciding whether to purchase this particular ...
...are getting a free standing Candy washing machine which is capable of washing up to 8kg of clothes at a time, has a maximum spin speed of 1600rpm which is variable, uses the Activa Wash system which essentially means that the machine constantly monitors and adjusts the critical elements of the wash cycle including temperature and drum action so that efficiency is maximised, and is triple A rated in terms of energy efficiency which is the best you ...

Great Little Helper

Advantages: Compact, easy to use
Disadvantages: SLOW spin speed

...The washing machine was a Candy Aquamatic 10, it has a 3Kg drum, a separate temp control and 10 Different programmes. The Test: Pile of grubby grassy socks, t-shirts etc..., open the door via the OPEN DOOR button, load the clothes, open the dispenser pour in some Ariel, and a quick slosh of Comfort, the programme list is hidden away in the dispenser, simply lift out and select your programme and temp, and away you go, anyway I selected programme ...
...on the machine and water starts filling instantly. once filled the drum turns immediately right and then left, and so on giving the clothes are real good beating, after a while the drum empties and the clothes tumble but do not spin, the rinse cycle then starts, there is a short burst of a spin between the 4 rinses, then after final softener rinse the full spin starts, this tumbles the clothes back and forth for about a minute, then ramps up gradually ...

Review of Candy AQUA 10

The Candy GO 126 HTXT GrandÓ - A good buy!

Advantages: Great for the money you are paying.
Disadvantages: A few minor niggles, which could be dealt with.

Candy CM1146

Advantages: Cleans clothes brilliantly, and isn't too noisy.
Disadvantages: Takes a while for a cycle to finish.

...definately buy this make again!! Candy also manufactor for the Hoover brand too. This was my replacement item for the Servis washer from Littlewoods catalogue, who I use quite regularly. With them if you need a replacement item you can choose which one you want up to the same value of what you paid for your old one. The catalogue price was £299 but you got a free Swan hoover with it worth £29. But it was my replacement item so I didn't have to pay ...
...as stain vanish which doesn't prolong the cycle. Allergy care which is good to use on towels and jeans as it uses more water to rinse the clothes meaning that more of the soap powder is washed out. Good for people with skin allergys such as eczema. It also has a fast wash option shortening the cycle of no more than 50 minutes depending on the cycle you have picked. It has something called fuzzy logic. Which is a kind of artificial intelligence. ...
