About this deal

Named programmes are always the best option on a washing machine, both for convenience and ease of use. Sadly, the control panel on the Smart Pro is symbol heavy – meaning that you might be able to remember which is cotton and which the mixed load but if you’re washing anything out of the ordinary, you’ll need the instructions, which has a useful programme table in it, to hand, or spend time scrolling through the dial one by one waiting for the display to tell you what it is. Featuring a 9kg capacity and an impressive spin speed of 1400 rpm, this Candy washing machine will have your family’s garments clean and fresh in a flash. Discover 14 programmes to suit all kinds of fabrics, including: 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 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. While it does not completely function over form, there’s little in the way of style details on the Smart Pro. A silver-effect finish around the door, scooped handle and an LED display are about as flashy as it gets. Given the price, this isn’t entirely unexpected, just a little out of keeping with its more hi-tech features.

The stain strip featured, left to right – red wine, vegetable oil, tomato sauce, orange juice and gravy, all left to dry into the fabric. At the end of the cycle, the red wine remained, though fainter, and there was a trace of ketchup in the fabric. As it’s rated A+++, with an A-rated spin, the Candy Smart Pro should be efficient on most cycles. I started with a cotton wash at 30ºC to test this. This cycle used 0.58kWh of power and a minimal 26.6l of water. While the maximum spin speed was only 1400rpm, it still managed to wring out an impressive amount of water – only 1.02kg remained, which equals 37.23% of the load’s original weight. 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 ProIron in half the time thanks to the Super Easy Iron function. A smart sensor detects the right level of moisture and a special alternating drum motion reduce wrinkles and tangles. The new Active Motion Technology boosts the detergent cleaning action by raising the rotation speed of the drum at multiple levels, allowing to enhance your washing results, saving time and reducing machine vibrations.

Daily 49, Spot Plus 39, Hygiene Plus 59, Rapid 14, 30, 44 minutes, Mixed and Coloured 59 special wash cycles There’s actually a good selection of 16 programmes, which can be toggled in temperature and spin speed within set parameters using a pair of buttons below the display screen and includes handy settings such as Hygiene Plus (which maintains a high temperature to sanitise the load). Beyond programmes, the options offer good washing flexibility – as well as pre-wash, you’ll find a 24-hour delay timer and steam (to make ironing easier). Its KG detector can also be used to weigh the laundry and then adjust the cycle’s length and water and energy required. As the Smart Pro is a more affordable machine, I expected that it would make more noise than a more expensive model, although it actually wasn’t that bad. Normal washing recorded a level of just over 60dB, while the spin was noisier at 72.7dB. Both readings were taken from 30cm from the middle of the doorTo 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. For in-depth running costs, I used the figures stated on the EU energy label, which assume 220 washes per year. This meant I could utilise the stated energy and water consumption figures to give an average cost per wash, using average electricity and water costs. Candy has equipped the CSO1493DWCE with smart features so you can get the best out of your washing machine. Active Motion technology boosts the detergent action by raising the rotation speed of the drum. The result is enhanced washing results, saving you time and reducing machine vibrations. Like most machines, the Smart Pro also has a countdown timer but it’s worse than useless as it’s inaccurate. On both washes, the estimated time left was far longer than stated on the screen – for example, the synthetics wash took 30 minutes longer than shown after five minutes into the cycle, and a 10-minute spin on the cotton wash took twice as long. Even taking into account adjustment by the KG detector, this makes the feature more of a loose guideline than something useful. Candy Smart Pro CSO 16105DC3 performance – Good stain removal for the price and reasonable running costs Fortunately, you don’t have to just rely on the controls to find your ideal wash – the Smart Pro connects to the Simply Fi Wi-Fi app, which can work out what programme you need based on the type of fabric and level of soiling, before starting the programme remotely.
