Good dryer. Great value. Many shortcomings.
3/5
Delayed start delays indefinately! This was an essential feature so very disappointed. I have reported the issue to Candy and an engineer will hopefully fix in a few days. But, I expect features to work as documented on delivery.
Water collects at floor level. I couldn't believe the bottle was located right at the bottom of the machine. I thought there must be another but, no, that's the only one. It's awkward to empty and some water is usually spilled. Also, it's behind a panel that I expect to break in a year or two from being repeatedly removed and snapped back into place.
Noisy. Coming from a washer dryer this is significantly louder than I am used to. It seemed to be the nosiest condenser dryer on the AO website when I checked - not by much so maybe tumble driers are simply loud. Would be good if AO highlighted this.
Hieroglyphics on front panel. Whilst I quickly learned which programmes I need, I keep the manual close to translate when I'm trying a new programme. Room for improvement.
Makes room warmer. Reasonable for a consender dryer, perhaps, but unexpected coming from a washer dryer and not welcome in the summer.
Smart Touch? Too complex. Needs Candy log in. Probably requires Android phone. Underwhelmed but was never a key feature for me
