Product Information

It also can troubleshoot small problems and can be voice controlled via an Alexa or Google Assistant. Safety: The cycle won't start if the door is open or the machine isn't connected to the water supply.

Once you've loaded up your washing machine, Samsung's SmartThings app can take full control. From cycle selection to making washing suggestions, the app is fully integrated with the machine. 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: 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.

PROBLEM SOLVING GUIDE

The drum felt very roomy, however – loaded with almost 3kg of washing, there was plenty of space left. Candy Smart Pro CSO 16105DC3 features – Confusing controls are likely to limit straying away from your favourite settings Daily 49, Spot Plus 39, Hygiene Plus 59, Rapid 14, 30, 44 minutes, Mixed and Coloured 59 special wash cycles 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. The 'care advisor' will ask you a handful of questions about the load, including the fabric, colour and stain before washing accordingly.

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. 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. Memory feature: Some will remember your most used programs and suggest them when you're setting your wash.Like other apps, you can start, pause and stop cycles, and it will also notify you when the cycle has finished. 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.
