David, In my shop we have both 8 & 9kg models. As i was eyeing them up with the intent to buy. Unfortunately neither 8 or 9kg models have the powerjet anymore. Though as you've pointed out, the drum is roomy enough to compensate for that. We still have 1200rpm models from the previous range which obviously have the powerjet, they crossed my mind but the 1200rpm was the problem, while i have 2 machines that spin perfectly fine at 1000rpm its always nice to have a choice!

Hmm
Just looked at the instructions- theres a few things that would really p me off about these machines.... 1. If you want a programme above 60deg you have to prewash. 2. The "short" 40 and 60 cotton programmes are still 1hr 31min 3. The "short" 40 synthetic is 1hr 10 min 4 The delicate programme is still over a hour and only has a max spin of 400rpm. I think im gonna stick with my Insight...... Seamus | ||

In all honesty
from the experience we have had in 7 years from 4 Hoover/Candy appliances (only 1 of which remains by the skin of its teeth) it will take more than an induction motor to convince me otherwise. Candy Activa lasted 4 months, motor failure pump failure. Hoover Quattro 1300 18 months Motor failure. Hoover Purepower upright vac. Foot pedal broke, lost suction after 1 year, motor failure. Lasted 2 years. Hoover 6kg Ultracare dryer. From day 1 drum lifters starting falling off. Made intermittant loud rumble noises. From 2 years old, take 10 minutes to heat up and to stop squeaking whilst tumbleing. Not to mention our 1988 Candy Domino 1000 which had 2 sets of bearings fitted after it left the factory in 4 years of use. 5 unreliable appliances. Fancy taking that chance? For me to trust Candy it will take at least 10 years to prove it. I expect to be seeing 10 year old Visions without SINGLE repairs full stop! Like Hoover and Hotpoint were before such takeovers. Go for an Electrolux if money is tight. Failing that and you can splash out a Miele or Asko is the way to go. Plus Miele and Asko have so much flexibility in programmes why not?

and
it was impossible to turn the dial to a certain part of the spin IIRC cos once Start was pressed it to enable the selector wheel to move round it was not stoppable until it got back to the start/end position. I know I tried these things in attempt to get 3 rinses only when the machine suds locked. You had to select delicates and set temp to minimum to get anything resembleing a rinse only cycle in a reasonable time instead of doing 3 individual rinse and spin cycles.
