Candy Smart Pro CS148TE Freestanding Washing Machine, 8 kg Load, 1400 rpm, White

Product Information

Alongside the basic functions, Miele@home can extend the Anti-crease phase by 30 minutes up to a maximum of three times and let you know when your machine needs cleaning. Miele’s Miele@home smart connectivity lets you control your device through the Miele app, voice control or other smart home solutions, networked via a home wi-fi router and the Miele Cloud. Whirlpool's app offers basic functionality, and assisted cycles that will help you choose the right program.

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. 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. Memory feature: Some will remember your most used programs and suggest them when you're setting your wash.

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. Hoover and Samsung were the first two manufacturers to launch wi-fi-enabled smart washing machines in the UK. But now more manufacturers are launching their own versions. In fact, one in three machines we've tested has smart functionality. 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 other apps, you can start, pause and stop cycles, and it will also notify you when the cycle has finished. Where to buy it: Appliance Centre , John Lewis or Buywise Who makes smart washing machines and how much do they cost? 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. Hoover was one of the first manufacturers to adopt smart tech. Hoover claims that its Wizard app enables you to set and save your favourite wash cycles, so you will be able to start them without any effort. The app itself is fairly simple compared to more expensive machines but could potentially be useful if you need to add extra programmes or have an issue with the machine’s functions.

LG's smart tech has the basic functions that many of its competitors offer, including starting and stopping cycles, notifications when a job is complete and maintenance reminders. The drum felt very roomy, however – loaded with almost 3kg of washing, there was plenty of space left.
