Candy CBD495D1WBBE Integrated 9Kg / 5Kg Washer Dryer with 1400 rpm - Black - E Rated

I was very sceptical about buying a washer/dryer as there have been so many reviews and most of them not too flattering. Because my kitchen design would not accommodate separate units I decided to opt for this model. On saying that there are some advantages & Disadvantages to this unit. Advantages There are some very good features on the washer/drying machine. A large selection of washing cycles that also caters for wool and delicates clothes, it has several quick wash cycles for clothes that do not need the usual full wash cycle. These are great and last anything between 15-45 minutes cycles. It has a large 9k drum so this makes it the perfect family washer. The controls are very easy to use and majority are touch screen. The unit as a whole fits into the same space standard washing machine. Disadvantages The drying time is too excessive, up to 3 hours to drying time and some times the clothes are not completely dry. The energy grade is only a C, but I don't yet see it as being expensive to run. Overall I would personally recommend this unit just for the range of Washing cycles. And if you can put up with the long drying cycles, then this is not a bad purchase.

Brilliant machine! nice big drum, lots of settings and a decent dryer. Especially considering the price, this is highly recommended. 5 stars all round!

It has a massive interior and is easy to load. The programs are more complicated so for instance you need to adjust the temperature settings and spin rate each time for ECO. It doesn't remember these and they are set too low at 20 degrees and 800 revs. Unit is much bigger than the measurements and pictures show. The size numbers were the same as my old washer dryer according to it's manual. The door and control button stick way out and although it's got the unit fittings to attach a door to the the front I don't think it's going to fit and I may have to abandon the cupboard door. It's also very active on spin cycle of 800, is already walking off the plinth and bangs against the other kitchen unit. This is a work in progress.

Exceeded expectations. Does everything we need. Good range of programmes. Large captivity. Reasonable noise levels. Can't fault it. Great value.

Quick delivery when my previous machine broke down

Good programme choices and the dryer is really good
