Candy Dishwashers

Look at the width and the number of place settings. Slimline models here are 448 mm wide and offer 9 place settings, which suits one or two people or narrow galley kitchens. Full-size machines are 597 mm wide and come in 13 or 16 place settings, ideal if you regularly wash large pots and cookware or have a family of three or more. Also check height (around 816–818 mm) and depth (555–559 mm) so the unit fits under your worktop.

A fully integrated dishwasher hides behind a kitchen cabinet door so your kitchen runs as a continuous design, and the control panel is usually on the top edge of the door. Freestanding machines sit independently and often have a visible control panel for easier access. If you want a seamless look and don’t need to move the machine, integrated is best; if you rent or like flexibility, freestanding is more convenient.

Higher energy ratings generally mean lower electricity and water use over time, so you save more if you run the dishwasher frequently. Of the three models shown, one is listed as Class B and two are Class E, so the Class B model will be more economical to run. If you plan to use the machine daily, the Class B option is the better long‑term choice; if use is occasional, an E rated model may still be acceptable.

Rapid cycles that clean in as little as 24 minutes are excellent for lightly soiled items and busy evenings when you need crockery ready fast. For heavily soiled pans or baked-on food, use a longer programme to get a thorough clean. For example, run the 24‑minute cycle for cups and plates after a casual meal, and a standard or intensive cycle for roasting trays.

Yes, Candy dishwashers are designed with adjustable racks so you can rearrange the loading to suit different items, from fragile glassware to large pans. Practically, a full‑size 597 mm machine with 16 place settings gives you more flexibility and room for tall pots, while the slimline 448 mm model is better for compact loads and smaller items. If you often wash mixing bowls or roasting tins, a full‑size model will make loading easier.
