About the brand

The company was originally a small workshop founded by Italian-born Eden Fumagalli in 1945.Founded in a suburban area of ​​Milan, the workshop quickly grew and, due to the well-established production of washing machines, turned into a large company. In the mid-50s of the last century, a technique that could not only wash clothes, but also rinse and wring it out, was considered a masterpiece.

In the same year, the company opens the first foreign factory for the production of washing machines. Geographically, it was located in France. The next 30 years the company continues to develop rapidly. At the same time, the strategy is changing slightly: now Candy is buying up factories that produce household appliances and are located in Italy. A very big rise occurred in the 80s of the XX century. It was at this time that the company firmly established itself in the markets of such countries as Great Britain, Austria and Portugal.

In the early 2000s, Candy continued its development. The production and sale of household appliances were started in developed countries, for example, in China. The company managed to enter the Russian market around the same time. The starting year is 2005. This year, Candy bought the Vyatka brand and began manufacturing washing machines at one of the factories located in the Kirov region. In January 2019, the Candy brand was taken over by the Chinese company Haier.

Peculiarities

The main features of the brand are an affordable price and a huge selection. Since the middle of the last century, Candy has released hundreds of models of washing machines, and their development is exponential. The company can offer the widest selection of machines, which greatly distinguishes the company from other manufacturers.

Series Candy Aquamatic

Series Candy Aquamatic

The classic line for general consumption, which is in the greatest demand.Its representatives are compact in size, allowing them to be placed in small bathrooms and kitchens without taking up much space and even installed under the sink. The height of the models is 70 centimeters against the standard 85, and the width is about 50 cm.

Washing machines "Aquamatic" hold about 4 kilograms of laundry for washing. There is a container for liquid detergents and another one for bulk detergents. Each has a special compartment for various additives, such as bleach or conditioner.

Candy Holyday Series

Lineup Candy Holyday

The machines of this series have a standard height and width (85 by 60 centimeters), but differ in a small depth (35 cm), allowing you to save space and place them in narrow rooms. The same advantage leads to the main disadvantage: narrow-profile washing machines can hold less laundry (about 3-4 kg).

Candy Holidays are equipped with a basic and inexpensive belt-driven motor, but the low price comes at the cost of increased noise levels. With each new generation of machines, the company is trying to lower it for models in this series, but competitors still win in this regard.

Do you store laundry in the washing machine?

Oh yes! No.

With drying

Apparatuses with the ability to dry washed laundry differ from other models in a number of functional features.

Recently, devices with high energy saving rates have appeared, but their price is noticeably higher.

Candy Smart Series

Mobile control itself takes place using an intuitive program interface that mimics the physical display of a washing machine.

Where are Candy washing machines made and assembled?

Candy Group is a powerful transnational corporation headquartered in the town of Brugherio (near Milan, Italy). The company was founded in 1945 - its history began with a small mechanical workshop. But already in the 50s. of the last century, it grew into a large corporation, which began to actively consolidate, buying up production facilities throughout Europe.

Italy is far from the only country where Kandy equipment is assembled. The group of companies has enterprises in Spain, Turkey, the Czech Republic, China. The manufacturer has settled on the Russian market since 2005. He bought the famous Russian brand Vyatka. Today, the development of the company continues, it conquers new markets, and its washing machines and other household appliances are distributed all over the world.

Features of washing machines from Candy

The production of washing machines has been established at a high level. They are easy to use thanks to the clear controls. They are equipped with a mechanical touch model. Each model has basic programs and individual additional functions.

Buyers appreciated the following features of Kandy machines:

• Fuzzy Logic system. In translation, it sounds like fuzzy multivalued logic. It determines the weight of things. The data is compared with the parameters in the processor's memory.Thus, the duration of the cycle, the speed of the drum, the degree of rinsing, the water temperature, and so on are set.
• Smart touch technology. The company produces many Kandy Smart Touch washing machines. They can be controlled remotely via an Android smartphone.
• Mix Power System. Strong pollution are removed even in water of room temperature. The liquid is mixed with detergent powder, and water is supplied to the drum in a special way.
• Shiatsu drum cover. It is specially designed by the company's engineers to improve the washing of linen from different fabrics.

Basically, all Candy washing machines are quiet. They are economical - the consumption of electricity and water is reduced, thanks to the use of innovative technologies. The devices are multifunctional. In addition to the standard wash, there are programs for drying and soaking clothes. Some models have up to 20 programs for different purposes, types of linen and fabrics. The brand offers a wide range of models in different price ranges. Models differ from each other in options, the number of programs, design, and so on.

There are several features of this technique that you need to remember before buying. Its external parts are not particularly strong, so the lid or hatch may break during operation. Elements of devices are sensitive to sudden voltage drops.

All models for summer cottages, apartments or houses come with instructions. There are compact options with vertical or horizontal loading, freestanding and recessed under the sink or countertop. Candy's control panel is easy to use and shows all the data. Including displays an error code when a malfunction occurs. If the machine is out of order and it needs repair, it is better not to do it yourself.It is recommended to entrust the technique to the master of the service center.

Producing country

The country of the manufacturer is Italy. But the assembly of washing machines is carried out in other countries. Mainly in China, Russia and sometimes in European countries. Regardless of where the brand decides to produce the appliances, they are of good quality. The company prefers to collect it with careful control. Sandy models are sold in almost all countries of the world.

Tips for choosing the best brand model

Experts give several important recommendations for choosing a Candy washing machine:

Determine the maximum load. It depends on the needs of the family.

Allocate a place for the installation of equipment and take into account the dimensions - height, width and depth

This is especially important for a small hallway, kitchen and bathroom.

Find out the number of programs needed. The cost of the device depends on their number and features.

To save electricity and money, it is important to choose a model with programs whose use is justified. For example, a machine with a dryer is much more expensive than the same option without it, but with similar functions and maximum load.

Decide on the type of control and drum loading. Some are comfortable with buttons, others with a touchpad, and others prefer remote control via an app. There are two types of loading - frontal and vertical. Built-in modifications are sold at higher prices than free-standing ones.

Consolidated opinion of masters about Kandy

If you look at Kandy through the eyes of the masters, you can see all the strengths and weaknesses of this manufacturer. On average, Candy washing machines last for 3-5 years, but the maintainability of machines is low - in 40% of cases, the first breakdown becomes final.Spare parts for the washing machine are cheap, but the owner will have to pay a large amount for the repair itself. For example, the cost of replacing a tank-drum unit is equal to buying new equipment. Therefore, the units of this brand are not repaired, and after the accident they are immediately disposed of.

Another weak point is the electronics, which are sensitive to even the slightest voltage drops. Due to the poor quality of the plastic used, water from the tank and dispenser often leaks through the welds. Complements the sad picture and poor stability of the case. Kandy weighs little, which leads to poor resistance to centrifugal force during spinning, jumping, increased vibrations and noise.

So, Candy should be chosen by those who are looking for a "home assistant" for a maximum of 3-5 years. Then the popular budget model will not let you down in difficult times, and in the event of a breakdown it will be replaced with a new machine. If you want a less “capricious”, reliable and maintainable washer, then it is better to choose a different manufacturer.

The following video will introduce the advantages of Kandy's mini-format washers:

Modern Kandy models, assembled in Russia or China, are unlikely to be compared in terms of functionality and quality with analogues of Miele or Bosch brands.

It should be understood that Candy are budget cars that do not claim the first positions in the ratings. However, for regular washing of lightly soiled items, as well as for installation in rooms with a lack of free space, they are ideal.
