About this product
The Candy GD 498-80 washing machine is designed for busy households needing powerful, efficient laundry care. This freestanding appliance washes cottons, synthetics, delicates, darks and mixed fabrics with ease. Featuring a 9kg drum capacity and 1400rpm spin speed, it handles large family loads while achieving A-rated energy efficiency. The MixPower System delivers water and detergent directly onto clothes for deep cleaning that protects delicate fibres. With 16 programmes including 8 quick wash options from 14 to 59 minutes, it offers flexibility for rapid refreshes or full cycles.
The Smart Spray activates during rinsing, directing water onto the porthole window and gasket to prevent dirt and detergent build-up for hygienic, bacteria-free performance. A clear LED display with dial control, 24-hour delayed start, and time remaining indicator simplify programme selection. The machine uses cold water fill with a pause facility for convenience. At 69dB noise emission and A noise class, it runs quietly. Measuring H85, W60, D55cm and weighing 66kg, this plug-in appliance includes variable spin speed, temperature control, and a 10-year parts and 1-year labour guarantee.

Bought a few weeks ago for my daughter as a moving in present. She is over the moon. Low noise level, plenty of straight forward programmes to use. Great purchase!

Candy washing machine review
I bought this a week or so ago and I am very pleased with this washing machine. It has plenty of cycles particularly quick ones for a small wash. Also is so quiet after my last one. The delivery was prompt and on time and the washer was installed, tested and packaging and the my old machine was taken away.

Great machine with good spin and decent 9 kg load size. The machine is quiet enough when on 1400 rpm spin. Good value for money.

Thank you for using Q&A
i think that might be happening because your load is too heavy when wet so doesnt spin properly or the setting you used was a slower speed to spin out water more.
hope this helps
On many machines there is a no-spin option to stop the clothes getting wrinkled - especially on a cycle done remotely.
Did you try the eco cycle - it is slow, but saves energy and water.
Hello Marie,
I can advise the following for the Candy GD 498-80 9KG 1400 Spin Washing Machine - White:
This does have a spin cycle within the programs, however its effectiveness will be down to the load being balanced and it's speed selection.
If the load isn't balanced then the drum won't spin at its set speed causing the load to come out wetter than it should.
Thanks for using Q & A.
