Candy can fit 15 place settings (more than that actually)

In the image everything is detailly explained. The standards, where to put what, I think it has even more than you wrote it should have, but check.

In the video it clearly says it can fit up to 8 XXL plates (34.5cm), that is not a standard plate which is used when counting place settings or anything else. I highly doubt those plates could fit in the Bosch slimline dishwasher, or any other dishwasher since those plates would hit the spray arm. I think for all dishwashers, 33cm was absolute maximum for bottom rack without any problems, ang gimmicks.

Also - this video is for demonstrational purposes, we would all fit more in that particular dishwasher, and any other dishwasher, but no manufacturer is going to cram up the dishwasher to its absolute max for an advertising video.

I'm not sure about your story for Bosch, Hotpoint and AEG not fitting plates they labeled on in. Such articles (including Which?) are so pointless, since people who created them aren't clearly aware how the standards are as well as they should be. I had acces to Which? for a month, and from reading of the review it was very clear those people did not open the instruction manual of the appliance, otherwise they wouldn't be complaining about stuff that is clearly displayed how to be done.
And again - I don't think they can go on the market labeled on Energy label as 14place settings if they can't hold it. It's not so easy to get to the market, even with big brands such as Bosch, Candy or Electrolux.

So here's the image of Candy fitting 15 place settings. On the right side of the pictures you have a list of what and how many of things are inside. Bear in mind that this is for a model without the 3rd rack, and with 3rd rack they fit even more!

I was reading the Which? report for my hoover slimline dishwasher, it was 1 point of a best buy award and according to thier tests, if you are thrifty and clever with how you load it, you can fit more than the rated 10 place settings inside it, believe me, Ive tried and sucseeded lol :)

I've got the sister of that machine featured in the link

My Hoover Dynamic dishwasher has exactly the same bottom basket as that Candy up there (but those blue plastic bits on the sides) and I can honestly say that I've been truly amazed by its versatility and the amount of stuff I've been able to fit in it. My dw also has a 3rd drawer at the top (unlike the model featured on the link which is probably a basic model) which is godsend for those long handled pieces of cutlery.

Funny enough, the inside of the machine hasn't changed much comparing it with my old Candy... it's just the design of the baskets and the hollow door which allow more usable space inside...
 
Ooops..

..Sorry, I meant Glenfield Local (a quarterly magazine, currently not available online - doesn't seem to have a website either) not Glenfield Gazette - thank to Jon in a personal message through Facebook - who sent a link to Glenfield Gazette, I can clearly tell from the font used, that's the other newspaper that we used to get. We haven't received a Gazette for a few months, though by the looks of it, its still going online.
I have asked the Neighbors to look around for the Glenfield Local news magazine thing. I'll see if hopefully they can find it. One said that she thinks she still has it and she will be looking today (Friday). If not, I will email them.
I'll start a different thread if they do, or post to the Facebook forum instead, because as mentioned I have no copy of the local, it was removed from our household a few days after receiving as mum doesn't advertisement magazines and newspapers with adverts in. -- She says newspaper should have news, not be full of adverts, like our local ones are, and even Leicester Mercury has sooo many adverts in now, and thats not even free. (I understand a free paper to have adverts, but one you pay 55p or whatever it is to). It probably costs them what less than 1p to make (plus reporter costs).

Anyway, Its interesting to see that the Candy does hold the 15 place settings they claim.
It would still be nice to see in real life though, as I'm sure my bowl/dishes look bigger than the ones shown, and would be interesting to see how different thickness of plates, which do vary by household would fit in!

Will be interesting to see how other manufacturers react, will we be seeing a 16 place one soon? to try outdoo each other, just like Anti-stain/ASR competition recently?
 
Yup, rebadged ASKO but on own specification!
As an example ASKO as I'm aware, doesn't market a 17 place settings dishwasher at 90 cm high but only the XXL machines that are 86 cm up to 91, changing the feet height
 
17 Place settings

I don't speak Swedish, and I am too lazy to google-translate, however:

http://www.asko.se/kok/diskmaskiner/d5894sofxxlfi
"17 kuvert" sounds very much like "17 place settings" (in Italian it is quite similar: "place setting" = "coperto")

http://www.asko.se/kok/diskmaskiner/d5654sofxxls---d5654xxls
"kuvert (17 st.)" raises the same "17 place settings" suspect

And for the height, Fulgor website states "up to 90 cm", but the user's manual states "height: 857-912 mm": exactly the same 86-91 cm as Asko...
 
Ah well, it should be the same machine then!
Anyway they're of high quality, overpriced but high quality!
 
Hi!

I'm an Italian boy with the passion for the Candy's brand. Sorry for my english…

I've a lot of questions about washing machine and dishwasher…

1) For some years now, no longer produces Candy washing machines with motor inverter, leaving this to the Hoover brand.

Today, when I visited the website, I found this model

http://www.candy.it/prodotti/scheda...avabiancheria--Frontale--Libera installazione

In the name appear the letter "H", typical of models equipped with the three-phase motor; in the energy label, in addition, the noise level in the washing phase has dropped to 51dB (just as for the models Hoover equipped with the same engine).
The strange thing is that it is not advertised in any way! Why?!? It is really a model with motor Inverter?
 
@newbravo

Yes, that model is indeed with inverter motor. Every Candy model with letter "H" is 100% having inverter motor.
I guess it is not advertised because of the money, or who knows what reason...

It depends on the market, on some markets (mostly where Hoover doesn't exist) Candy always had models with inverter available ;)

Now that you say you like Candy brand, visit my YouTube channel (LINK) - there might be some Candy videos for you to see ;)

@nrones

Do you speak Italian?

Do you have skype? My nickname is Newbravo

Back to the topic…

ok, for some reason Candy doesn't want to advertise the model. But why she doesn't put any mark or label on the machine (like your GO Plus in the video)?

Do you know something about Candy dishwasher?
 
Candy

I don't speek italian good enough to be able to communicate, and I don't use Skype...sorry.

There is a label, just the picture on the website is a little bit wrong. Why would they waste money on taking photo of another machine just because of 1 label, no customers will notice ;)

What about Candy dishwashers?

About the dishwasher...

I have seen on various catalogs of different manufacturers of dishwashers that the "3 in 1" function aims to adapt the parameters of the selected program to achieve the best cleaning results using tabs "all in one". Taking as an example the dishwasher AEG, the key:
1) disables the lights "low salt" and "rinse aid"
2) varies the duration of the washing steps
3) disables the rinse aid dispenser and leads to the minimum setting of the water softener (it should then also block the supply of salt).
 
My question is: since both the instruction booklets and the data sheet repairers of dishwashers Candy speaks only of the first two functions, is there anyone of you who knows if even for the Italian brand is deactivated l 'supply of salt and rinse aid?
 
I am attaching a link to the data sheet (to download the file you need to scroll to the bottom of the page, passing the preview with "Candy" and press the link "Get Manual" which appears in a few seconds.) Once obtained, open it, and scroll down to page 22 (table headed "Option 3 in 1"): you will find explicated the function in question and details of the changes compared to the standard program.
 
What do you think?
 
 
thank you very much
 
The other question about the dishwasher is: who actually designs the slimline version (45cm) of the Italian brand? I know that they design only "standard" version (60cm).
 
@ Newbravo

I would take any Candy manual with a pinch of salt... you're bound to find mistakes on them! The '3 in 1' does exactly what you said above... it doesn't just disactivate the lights, it reduces/annul the operation of the correspondent devices.

If you like and trust Candy products, just get them and enjoy them... as I do: don't be too picky with their manuals ;-)
 
@ Haxisfan

Thanks so much!! Are you sure of that?

P.S.: I'm Italian. "take any Candy manual with a pinch of salt" is slang?
 
You're welcome!

Si... I meant don't take the manuals too seriously. It's been my experience for many years with Candy appliances and I've often found wrong information on their instruction booklets.

A typical example, my Candy fridge-freezer, like most fridge-freezers, can be set from 1 to 6 where 1 is normally the lowest setting (so the machine wouldn't cool as much), but according to the manual... the lowest setting corresponds to a lower temperature (this is not the case).

Slimline dishwasher

Candy's slimline dishwashers are built by Chinese Company Midea. The same dishwashers are used made for Gorenje, Zanussi, Whirlpool, and lots of other well known brands.
 
Ok, the slimline are designed and manufactured by Midea.

Large Dishwashers (such as Futura3, for example) are designed by Candy and this is also seen by comparing the interior of the latest models with those of the early 2000s, when they were still made ​​in Italy.
But the question is: their current production is also carried out in the same factory by Midea or in another property of Candy (after the closure of the Italian factory in Bessel)?

------------------------
Another difference I've noticed between the last Candy washing machines than, for example, my old Activa myLogic 1000 is the suppression of sound-absorbing panels inside the machine and the headset that covers the engine. The only thing left to drown out the noise is the sheet of corrugated material under the machine. So much so that for many years has disappeared the writing "Acoustic Comfort" on the models and the subsequent citation in the various catalogs of the brand of a system that will break down the noise.

On Hoover (identical to Candy), however, there are 3 lines currently produced:
1) The Dynamic Silent Pulse Inverter
2) The Dynamic Super Silent
3) The Vision Tech (nothing)

The first are those with the inverter motor and actually they record a few decibels less than the others, especially in the wash. In the catalog there is a paragraph devoted to these models and the only element that contributes to the result looks like this engine (no panel or headset, or other)
Between the second and third, however, I did not understand what difference there is: why take the nickname "Super Silent" when they emit the same noise values ​​of those who do not have it? Nor catalog make distinctions.

Do you know that "plus" have Super Silent compared to Vision Tech?

Thanks thanks thanks!!! ;)
 
@newbravo

The full size Candy dishwashers are produced in Candy's plant in China. So it's 100% Candy, just chinese labor.

The Dynamic Silent Pulse inverter, and The Dynamic Super Silent I think is identical, however "Silent Pulse Inverter" is the new name for "Super Silent" - they have inverter silent motors, unlike VisionTech that have normal brushed motor.
