Candy Smart Inverter! What do we think of it after exactly 1 year of heavy use!
Believe it or not, I cannot find bad point about it or something that I find annoying. One of the smartest machines I ever used. It adapts to everything, literally everything. Yes, it is slim, but it does not mind if I overload it with very absorbant towels, or duvet, it always keeps water level high enough for that type of load. Cycle times are amazing, perfect for our busy family.
Now the most important part I wanted to talk about:
Wash performances! That’s something that amazed me the most. To be honest, I did not expect it to be as good as my Bosch and Beko, actually, when it comes to the washing small loads, Candy washes them better… The biggest challenge (and the most shocking thing to me) are white socks, which come out the cleanest from Candy!😊 Even on Hygiene 59’ cycle.
Also spin performances- it allows 1400 on all Rapid cycles, even 14’. And when you select 1400, doesnt matter what cycle it is, it will do LONG cotton 1400 spin, even on Rapid 14’. Perfect!
Rapid cycle’s: It has loads of them: Rapid 14, 30, 44, 49, 59….and thing about them that bothers everyone is that they do only 1 quick interm. spin. Trust me, normal user would NOT notice difference in rinsing. I did not notice difference either as I did not know first few weeks that those cycles do short interm. spin, I just put it on and leave. Everything comes out really fresh. Never had soapy feeling on laundry. So that was enough to me to not worry about lack of long & fast interm. spins. It does superb job!
I did have 1 little issue only, it used to take softener too early sometimes. Called Candy and they sorted it out in no time. I have that issue with almost all new machines I used so I cant put blame to the Candy only…
Now I am thinking about cons… I cant find anything that I need to mention… but if I have to MENTION something- touch controls… You NEED to get used to them, they really need specific touch🤣
-Rinse only cycle takes too long and does 2-3 rinses
-Handwash allows 800rpm, but Delicates ONLY 400…
That’s it😅
For reliability, it’s still too early to talk, but it seems to take torture quite good for now.
All in all, I really regret that I didn’t buy Candy earlier. Couldn’t believe myself that Candy would suit us way better than brands we trusted for years. Absolutely amazed. And you know I really find bad points easily in everything😅

Beko EnergySpin- The newest range of washing machines that save up to 35% energy compared to previous models!
REVIEW TIME- Is it worth the money & does EnergySpin really do something better?
First of all, I want to start with good points of this machine. Wash results- great, rinse results- great. Build quality- just like all my other Beko’s. Sturdy, stable & quite quiet. Cycle times good. You can still play with options and customise everything. SteamTherapy cycle is AMAZING- we absolutely love it.
Price is still really good, cheap.
BUT- I need to complain about EnergySpin feature. Extremely useless. It dissolves detergent faster yes, but it does NOT improve wash performances or save electricity how they claim. If it helps at cleaning, why not include it in StainExpert cycle too? It does not even do EnergySpin often enough.
ColdWash (cycle that is literally made for EnergySpin) does only 2 SHORT spin washes at the start- never again. Cottons cold-60 does 4 (first 2 at the start of the wash, second 2 at the end of wash)- again, wrong time for spin wash, and not enough spin washes at all.
Handwash/Wool CLAIMS it does EnergySpin- yet, it doesnt.
The only eco thing I noticed that they reduced wash temperatures by 4-5°C on some cycles.
Also, this range is from SaveWater generation. But, WaterSave option does NOT work. It does not save anything, machines behaves exactly the same with or without that option selected. So thats another dissapointing thing. It takes too much water.
Dont get me wrong, I dont mind washer that uses too much water on rinses, but if you have option for less water, make it usefull, not completely useless…
One extremely bad thing- spin performances. It is EVEN worse now as they made final spin EVEN shorter on Xpress & Cotton cycle with Fast/Fast+. It holds only 20 seconds at 1400…
Overall, decent machine. Cheap. Washes & rinses great. But I wouldn’t buy it again.
It does give a feeling that it can last long, but too much options that dont do anything… basically, how they say it in my country- they are “selling fog”😶🌫️

For those who dont follow my instagram:
Candy RapidO had to be refunded…sadly. It had factory defect which I didnt even notice and kept using the machine. During drying it created lots of condensation inside around the PCB :(
I wanted to get the same model, but I had loads of work next period so I didnt have time to wait for replacement machine.
I do totally reccomend it though for people who need combo machine. Build quality is quite good (way improved from previous generation), drying performances are amazing. If this happened earlier or later, I would get replacement one (the same model)… :)

Hello, I am Rapido😎
Time to test first ever washer/dryer combo on this channel! Are they really bad choice for drying laundry?

Exactly 3 years of owning this Bosch. I will try to be short, I will never ever buy Bosch/Siemens washing machine again for my self.
It has great performances, extremely quiet…but;
DO NOT buy if you dont have tumble dryer- It creases laundry to the point you cannot iron stuff if line dried. It is harsh to laundry. Differences in creasing between 400 and 1400 are not noticable- laundry is still extremely creased.
DO NOT buy if you are busy household that needs machine that finishes cycle on time- Bosch ALWAYS adds time, its very rare that it finishes on time. Sometimes adds up to 30-40 minutes even on quicker cycles
Sensing (on all Bosch washers I used) is extremely weird and does weird stuff. It always does delicate actions on Cotton cycles for some reason, detects bulky duvets and throws as SMALL loads resulting constant sudslocks and extremely low water levels. Drum Clean on most BSH machines I tried DOES NOT work as it detects laundry with empty drum.
BUY if you need reliable machine that can last long time and that is stable and quiet and if those stuff above does not bother you. It really washes well and softener smells the best from Bosch. For sure.😊

Beko washer/dryer at aunts work at hospital that replaced Indesit washer/dryer that broke after 9 months is still alive and working after 3.5 years of constant abuse!😉 It is used for uniforms and stuff from nurses/doctors and is on literally whole day!☺️

As I said in comment on reveal video, from now I will be getting any machine I find close to me for destruction videos! If its a brand I already tested & made videos with- I will be only doing extreme tests (rocks, wood, water balloons….) instead of washing carpets and stuff, and if I find machines I didnt test yet, I will do regular stress tests- from carpet & overloads to brick!
This Candy I got from neighbors will be used right away for those extreme tests because its spider is also cracked and I dont really want to risk killing it with carpet & stuff when we can have more fun right away! 😉
