About this product
The Candy GD 498-80 is a 9kg freestanding washing machine for everyday laundry. It features a 1400rpm spin speed that extracts more moisture, reducing drying time.

Quick Wash options clean clothes in as little as 14 minutes, ideal for flexible households. The machine has an A energy rating, LED display, dial controls, and a 24-hour delayed start timer to schedule washes around your day.
The MixPower Wash system sprays a precise blend of water and detergent for deeper cleaning while protecting delicate fibres. Smart Spray technology rinses the porthole window and door gasket during the cycle to prevent detergent build-up and maintain hygiene.

Not accurate measurements / timer issue
The depth of the machine is not 55cm as it says on Argos website but 59 including door which caused me big problems. Also when I try to put timer on sometimes it stops after 3hrs and doesn’t let me set longer unless I restart the process.

Quick installation and quiet/easy to use machine
Quick and seamless installation from the team. Machine is quiet and includes several short cycles which is perfect for quick washes! Also like the fact that the machine has a specific drum clean cycle. Would recommend!

Thank you for using Q&A.
Mine isnt 59 minutes I think it depends on the weight it can be anywhere from 101
Mins to 215 mins on cotton cycle which isnt great wish I had known this before purchasing there are not many cycles that u can put the full 9kg load on either
Definitely worth looking at the manual first before purchasing
Hello Dee,
You are able to use the 60 degree option on various time selections from 59 minutes.

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.
