About this product
The Candy GD 498-80 is a 9kg washing machine for busy households needing efficient laundry care. This corded appliance handles large loads of cottons, synthetics, delicates and darks with a 1400rpm spin that extracts moisture quickly. It operates with A-rated energy efficiency at 69dB, combining powerful performance with quieter running and lower costs. The Mix Power Wash system delivers water and detergent directly onto fabrics for deep cleaning while protecting fibres, and the Smart Spray rinses the porthole and gasket during cycles to reduce detergent build-up and maintain hygiene.
With 16 programmes including 8 quick wash options from 14 to 59 minutes, this machine offers flexibility for rapid refreshes or full family loads. The LED display and dial control simplify programme selection, while a 24-hour delayed start lets you schedule washes around your routine. Variable spin speed and temperature settings adjust cycles for different fabrics, and the pause facility adds mid-wash convenience. Measuring H85 x W60 x D55cm and weighing 66kg, it includes cold water fill operation and comes with a 10-year parts and 1-year labour guarantee.

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.

I bought this as an upgrade for my old washing machine and for the price I can't knock it. Plenty of programs to use and very quiet. Would highly recommend it.

Soph, 25 - 34
Great value
So far so good. I've had this brand before and it lasted years. It's a really good price for what you get. It turns itself off when not being used and there's lots of different programmes. Its easy to use and I would recommend this washer if your on a budget and after 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.
