Rated A+++, the Candy Grand’O Vita GVS169DC3 should be efficient to use and run. To test, I started out with our standard wash at 30ºC. This cycle used 0.53kWh of power and a fairly frugal 29.4l of water. To get some more in-depth running costs, I used the figures stated on the EU energy label, which assume 220 washes per year. This let me break-down the stated energy and water consumption figures to give us an average cost per wash, using average electricity and water costs. Stain removal wasn’t quite as effective, since the stain strip folded and twisted inside the sheet during washing. As such, results may vary from wash to wash. I found that most of the stains were removed, but there was some red remaining, while the tomato sauce stain had partially transferred to another part of the stain strip. However, where the strip hadn’t become folded, the ketchup stain was less visible than on the 30ºC cotton wash. Candy Smart Pro is equipped with the new Simply-Fi technology, discolsing additional and unique features as voice tips, efficiency enhancer and wifi remote function intended to make washing even more smooth and convenient.
With the best combination of time and performance. Choose between four cycles, each lasting less than an hour yet ensuring 100% effectiveness. These machines include rapid wash cycles of 14, 30, 44, and 59 minutes. With a delay start the laundry will be ready just when you want it. It allows you to program the start of the washing cycle with a maximum delay of 24 hours. No more worries of unpleasant odours created by wet laundry that has been left inside the machine. No more wasting of the energy consumption, setting the laundry when the electricity is more convenient. To work out yearly figures, I used the average number of washing machine loads in the UK (274 per year), and multiplied by three different load amounts (6kg for high, 4.5kg for medium and 3kg for low) to get a total amount of washing per year in kg.

Running costs are impressively low, even more remarkable by virtue of how little this washing machine costs. Stain removal is about as good as I can expect from a machine at this price. Noise performance is decent, and I measured the Candy Grand’O Vita GVS169DC3 at 57.7dB during the standard part of the wash, taken from 30cm from the middle of the door. Spin speed was 79.6dB. Both figures are below the figure stated on the EU energy label, and about average for a cheaper washing machine. Stain removal – Pretty good on the 30ºC wash, although the synthetic wash ended up folding the stain strip leaving a blob of ketchup behind. There’s also a delay timer (in hours, from one to 24) and an options button that lets you select an extra rinse, the hygiene mode (for washes at 60ºC and above, this option maintains the same temperature throughout the entire wash), and an anti-crease easy-ironing mode. Basic as these controls are, they’re extremely simple to use and you shouldn’t need to turn to the manual too often. Introducing the Candy CSS69TWMCBE/1-80 Smart Freestanding Washing Machine, your ultimate laundry solution.

Seamlessly integrating into your smart home, its connectivity capabilities elevate your laundry experience. Enjoy the convenience of 15 diverse wash programs, catering to all your garment needs. Experience unparalleled efficiency and modern convenience with this advanced washing machine.
Spin efficiency – Excellent, particularly when the washing machine can run at 16oorpm to leave clothes comparatively dry. It’s worth pointing out that in both tests, the countdown timer wasn’t particularly accurate. For the synthetic wash, I found that the last 2 minutes of the spin cycle took closer to 10 minutes to complete. Think of it as an indicator of time, rather than a hard-fast timer. Next to the programme dial, you’ll see the Smart Touch area with a picture of a smartphone. This is to enable NFC-enabled smartphones to transmit a programme from the Candy Simpli Fi app to washing machine. Only, it isn’t all NFC smartphones, since iPhones currently aren’t supported and you can only use an Android handset. If your children have been playing outside and they’ve got a little messy, then the Extra Rinse setting will blast away any caked-on dirt. Plus, you can even delay the start of your wash by up to 24 hours, so a load will be ready at a convenient time. Smart Pro

Decent stain removal in our tests, particularly on the cotton cycle, and impressive running costs help the side, making this a decent choice if you’re after a budget washing machine. Candy Grand’O Vita GVS169DC3 – What you need to know Thanks to the 1600rpm spin speed, our clothes retained 0.9kg of water, which works out at a decent 34.62% of their original weight. The washing machine’s energy label says that this machine has an A-rated spin cycle, and the tests confirm it. It’s useful to have such an efficient spin, since it means that your clothes spend less time drying or in a tumble dryer. Coming with dial controls and a built in display, choosing the correct cycle is a breeze. And, its white finish ensures it will suit any kitchen décor. The Candy appliance decreases electricity consumption, minimizing wastage. The delicate weight sensors identify the load size and adjust water and electricity usage accordingly.
