I believe that some of them are made in China.

I think you can tell if they are from China if they don't see "Made in Italy" or equivalent on the rating sticker.

Indeed Candy group produces washers in China, those sold outside the EU are made either there or in Russia, while the minority comes from here.
Machines for the EU are made in Italy and refrigeration apparatus is made in the Cezch Republic.
Anyway, it has to be said that they're made to the same specifications!

@optima You made my day!
@elie55121 If it says Italy on the sticker then it must be from there but as dj-gabriele pointed out it doesn't mean it's any different to a Chinese produced example.
I think some of the low end Candy/Hoover models for the EU market are sourced from either Russia or China. I've noticed Hoover's Dynamic fridge freezers and under counter fridges sold around here are also from China.

If the machine says that it's made in Italy, then it is were it comes from, laws that indicate the origins are very strict and even if there could be components sourced from aboard most of them and all craftsmanship and assembly was made in Italy.
After all if the company bought out Vyatka and Jinling (you guess who's Russian and who's Chinese!) they have to put them to use
If one keeps buying MOL/TOL he can be sure he's buying Italian or at least EU made, otherwise, to cut costs there are increasing possibilities of things made in the East.
Another example are Candy's BOL dishwashers, they're made in China too, MOL and TOL, like the 15 places Futura machines are made locally.
Most the Candy/Hoover appliances sold in Australia as an example (like Philco branded washer/dryers!) are made in China... it would make no sense to ship everything from Italy all the way to OZ when Chinese factories are much closer!
An exception is the Candy Trio, the appliance that groups dishwasher/oven/hobs in a single unit! Those are either made in France or made Italy but since they charge premium and make them in only moderate numbers there's a point.
