Reviews of the washing machine Candy GVW 264 DC-07

It’s not often that you find a budget washing machine in a store with a large range of programs, and even a drying function. Kandy manufacturers, in this regard, tried to take everything into account, but is this really so? How well the declared modes work and what is the build quality of such a machine, we learn about this from user comments.

My wife really likes this washing machine, and I like it drying function. At first we were terribly worried, afraid of being disappointed. I liked this machine for the price, so we settled on it. For the same price you could count on equipment from LG, but without drying. On the other hand, drying in Kandy, according to reviews, is better than that of the Koreans. In general, now we have this machine standing rooted to the spot and not moving anywhere.

The machine runs quietly, which is a plus. Sometimes I doubted whether it worked at all, I had to watch the process. Dries perfectly, all you have to do is iron it. The shortcomings were eliminated after two weeks of use. There was a strong smell when drying, so they only put jeans and socks on to dry. Also, at first the powder receptacle did not slide out well. Now everything is working well. Well done washing machine.

Quite a normal washer and dryer Candy. Works as stated by the manufacturer. Anti-vibration stands were immediately installed, although it was possible without them. It washes and dries clothes well and is inexpensive. There are no complaints about this model.

The Candy GVW 264 DC – 07 washing machine is an excellent technique that saved us from drying clothes in the bathroom. More than half of the linen doesn’t even need to be ironed, but is immediately put in the closet.There are many short programs, it washes as well as dries, perfectly. I liked the appearance and quiet operation. For this money, everything is justified, you won’t find one like it, similar machines with drying will cost at least 370 $, while this one is only 22. A small minus is the depth of the body with all the protrusions - 48 cm, but this is not critical.

We are one hundred percent satisfied with this washing machine, even though it has its drawbacks. The machine was assembled neatly, no complaints. The counterweights are decent, so it stands stable. I liked the presence of three fast modes at once. We turn on the dryer infrequently, mainly when we need to dry something by the morning. Conveniently, the drying function can be turned on independently of the washing program, that is, separately.

The downside is that water often remains in the tray and does not drain completely. In addition, the sound of the end of the wash is almost inaudible; I wish it was a little louder. I also didn’t like the quality of the plastic; I generally sawed off the sharp edges of the casting with a knife. Initially I planned to buy LG, but the price, dimensions and set of functions persuaded me to buy Kandy, and I don’t regret it at all, but on the contrary, I recommend it.

A wonderful washing machine that came to us not so long ago and passes all sorts of tests. First of all, it is worth saying that in terms of price it clearly beats its competitors. It is also small in size, which is also rare for models with drying. This is very important when space is limited. It fits well in our kitchen under the countertop. I am very pleased with the drying, even cotton dries well and does not wrinkle. The drying time can be adjusted depending on the amount of laundry. I like the short modes of 14, 30 and 45 minutes.

The noise level is within normal limits, even during spinning and even during washing, the machine operates quietly.

Quite by accident I bought a washing machine that not only washes, but also dries. The budget was limited to $250, so I didn’t think much about bells and whistles, but when I came across this machine, why not take it. The main criterion was the narrow size and the Candy brand, because the old assistant was from this particular company, and now she lives in the country.

I try to run it more often in order to detect problems before the warranty period expires, so far everything is good, only 3 months have passed, but I’m already satisfied. It is possible to dry no more than 4 kg of laundry, although, in my opinion, it dries more, spending almost 4 hours, after which the clothes can be ironed immediately and put into the closet. In short, drying turned out to be useful, but if you save electricity, you can simply not turn it on; at 1200 rpm, the laundry becomes almost dry. And even after the first drying, an unpleasant smell remained on the laundry. I consider the most optimal washing mode to be 59 minutes. So far, I'm very, very happy with the machine.

When the washing machine, which had served for many years, broke down, we decided to buy a washer with a drying function. We settled on this one after finding a lot of information about it on the Internet. The machine has been working flawlessly for 4 months now. What I liked most was the quick wash mode with drying in 59 minutes. Jeans and a T-shirt after such a program turn out clean and dry.

Before this one there was a machine with a dryer, but only of the LG brand, after working for three years it broke down. We quickly got used to good things, and therefore decided not to give up drying. I'll share my first impressions. The assembly is disgusting, here are a few reasons:

• joint on the body with an uneven gap;
• The maximum washing temperature indicator light does not work;
• the powder receptacle is pulled out with force until you pull it out;
• the drum door is also difficult to open;
• The powder is poorly washed out of the tray, so you have to put it directly into the drum, but then you don’t use pre-washing; you can, of course, add water to the tray manually during the washing process to wash off the powder.

Otherwise, everything is fine, no worse than its competitors. Even better, it works quietly, washes efficiently, dries well, and separately. The machine is demanding on the amount of laundry, as it has auto-weighing, so with the same mode, the washing time may be different. As for drying, it’s better not to dry more than three kg, and it may not dry out, but even under these conditions you definitely won’t have to hang laundry around the apartment, and this is more a plus than a minus.

I really wanted to buy a machine with a drying depth not exceeding 45 cm, but the choice was not great, either Candy or LG. The latter had to be ordered, so we took Kandy at our own risk. The design, to be honest, is disgusting, everything seems flimsy.

The installation of the machine was organized according to all the rules, but even at 800 rpm it begins to jump, at 1200 the tiles will crack, so now I don’t turn it on to maximum.

The worst thing is that the machine may stop during washing and an error will appear on the display. The problem is solved by manually draining the water and starting a new program. I managed to get my money back for the product; I will never buy equipment from this company again in my life.

After 5 months of operation, the washing machine broke down, apparently the Kirov assembly turned out to be so-so. The problem was that the door would not open. The service center technician refused warranty repairs because the handle was broken.The result was a three-week repair for $50; there was no other way out, since the courts would take even longer, and we have a small child. In my life I will never buy Russian-assembled equipment, or maybe it’s an old LG, which has worked for 10 years and continues to work in the old apartment.

Shuvalova Ekaterina

I've only been using the machine for a week and I'm already unhappy with it. I can’t return it because there are no faults, everything is normal as they say. Here's the thing. After the second drying, the machine began to make a wild whistle, and the whistle only appears when the machine is drying. With such noise it is impossible to stay in the room for almost two hours, so the dryer is terrible and I will not use it.
