Hello guys it's been awhile since I've been on here just an update really my last post was about my hotpoint 9530 as much as I loved it I had to let it go I just don't have the space :( I used to have a hotpoint aqualtis but truth is me and the machine didn't really get on it made all the washing sounds and actions but clothes just didn't feel or smell clean enough so it's gone and I'm really pleased with my new perchase some may shun me but I've got a candy grando gosf262 and it's amazing not silent like the aqualtis but I like the sounds you know it's giving the clothes a right good washing and let me tell you the cleaning results are unbeatable it's a fantastic work horse and it's very smart it puts extra rinses on if it detects detergent monitors the wash and changes the action it's fantastic no wash is ever the same I've put some videos of it on YouTube but not sure how to put them on here:( but that's my update just thought it would be nice to write something good about candy even from the uk

1 *Difficulty...* I'm sorry, but that post had hardly any punctuation (periods, commas, capital letters) and therefore was extremely difficult to read. Whenever I try to read vast, epic one-liners like that, I mentally switch off and can't be bothered to read the rest. Now at your age, you should know better. There can be no excuse.

I will admit I am very lazy when it come's to punctuation, but that still wasn't the response I had hoped for on a website about domestic appliances. Punctuation aside, I do hope you liked my washer.

very interesting thread, Chris - and as with Optima, there really was no problem in reading your text. Chris

Hi Tom, thanks for commenting. Lovely machines aren't they? I have seen yours on you tube very cool I can't wait to get the dryer I had an email today saying it was now being packaged and dispatched from supplier. Would love to know where they make their dryers and washers for that matter

While I'm no fan of the current range of Candy laundry appliances, I hope you get some enjoyment out of it. Thier Washing Machines are either made in Italy at their Brugherio plant or in China at thier Jiangmen plant. I don't know if you can tell the difference but I'd guess if it doesn�t say "Made in Italy" on the raiting sticker then its probably a Chinese example.

no, if its slim line and it doesnt say where its made, then is made in Russia

Checked the plate it doesn't say. So it must be Russia or china lol it is the slim one which is another thing I'm impressed with.

*I love Candy appliances regardless of where they're made* Congratulations on your washer... I hope it keeps up the good work! I've got a soft spot for this brand too, especially for their washers/dishwasher and I can't wait for my UK made Hoover washer and Italy made Candy d/washer to bite the dust so I can get my hands on their newer sexier range. If you like this group, you get a wider choice with Hoover, as the available Candy appliances tend to be from their bottom of the range in the UK. Speak u soon ;-)

I believe you can get the candy evo's here which are meant to be good. I've always had a thing for candy ever since 95 when my mother got a combiwash great machine then and lasted about 13 years and I'm equally impressed with mine now

Great to hear your happy with your new machine. It's no secret that Candy have been problematic, but I hope you get many years of service out of yours :). Out of interest, what made you opt for the Candy and where there any other machines you were considering?

Kid spotted it about a year ago and I liked the design looks smart and friendly plus the size of the machine

Great videos and informative post, thanks. I hope your Candy provides many years pleasurable use. I like the fact that Candys self adjust themselves according to the load. Very much like my Zanussi which adapts the wash time, rinse drum speed and water levels according to the load. I like the Evo machines with the jet wash.

*Hottiecrazy or Candycrazy?* Hi Hottiecrazy, I know what you mean about the Evo range... as far as their washing machines go, some models are not basic, although they don't seem to feature the whisper quiet option (invertor motor) like Hoover does or even your previous Hottie (which I've seen on your vids - btw what happened to it?). I absolutely adore those Evo machines and I might very well get 1 as soon as my current washer throws a wobbly. My real disappointment comes from their dishwashers, there's only 1 model from the Evo range and it's rather basic.

*The hotpoint* I sold it it just wasn't right for me the wash results are quite poor plus you use more detergent with it being such a big load plus took me ages to fill it my candy is just the right size. I've seen the evo with a silent motor somewhere....

one thing to note: all hoover and candy dryers are now fitted with a frost protection sistem that stops the dryer from starting in under 8*c temperatures, GIAS (hoover/candy service force) recomend putting a jug of hot water in the drum to warm the sensor's up to get it to work, alternativley you could use a hot water bottle or you could take the filter out and either put your hand on the sensor for 10 secs or use a hair dryer on a warm setting to warm it up :) i should be getting my candy grand'o dryer on the 2nd of Aug so if you havent had yours by then i can let you know what the results of it are like :) Tom :)

My dryer will be in the kitchen don't know if it will make any difference but my house never gets that low in temp so I'm hoping I'll be fine if it doesn't come by this Friday then it will have to wait until the 6th as I go to cornwall on sat

Post# 612281 , Reply# 30 7/25/2012 at 15:21 (328 days old) by aegokocarat (Cearphily county South Wales)
not on facebook my candy is vented too lol they dont acctually have a humidity sensor according to what i was reading on here, they have an exhaust temperature sensor that detects the exhaust air temperature, if a load is dry the exhaust air is hot (i think thats how it works lol) Tom :)

what is it with everyone on here these days? everyone is going down hill.. candys?! bekos?! hoovers?! whats going on? sorry chris, took me ages to read what you put no punctuation. but these machines WILL NOT last you 5 minutes, terribly and shoddily built, but i hope you enjoy using them and happy youve found a set you like. george.

Thanks for your comment george, I am rather pleased with my purchase and it's covered by a 5 year guarantee, as regards to your statement about build quality it seems quite well built but time will tell, the proof is in the pudding but you don't see many of these on eBay broken :). And what's with all the comments about punctuation it's not and English language site lol But still thanks for commenting, everyone has their own opinions :) Regards chris

*And what's with all the comments about punctuation it* Don't even get me started. Bad grammar frustrates the hell out of me.
