Country of origin of Candy washing machines

Candy washing machines belong to the category of a fairly advertised product. At the same time, the majority of consumers know little about this brand and about the country of origin. To dispel doubts about the quality of household appliances, you should study this information.

The company was originally a small workshop founded by Italian-born Eden Fumagalli in 1945. Founded in the suburban area of ​​Milan, the workshop quickly expanded and, due to the well-established production of washing machines, turned into a large company. In the mid-50s of the last century, a technique that can not only wash clothes, but also rinse and wring it out, was considered a masterpiece.

In the same year, the company opens the first foreign factory for the production of washing machines. Geographically, it was located in France. For the next 30 years, the company continues to actively develop. Wherein the strategy changes a little: now Candy is buying up factories that produce household appliances and located in Italy. There was a very big rise in the 80s of the XX century. It was at this time that the company reliably established itself in the markets of countries such as Great Britain, Austria and Portugal.

In the early 2000s, Candy continued its development. The production and sale of household appliances was started in developed countries, for example, in China. The company managed to enter the Russian market at about the same time. 2005 is considered the starting year. This year, Candy bought the Vyatka brand and started production of washing machines at one of the factories located in the Kirov region. In January 2019, the Candy brand was acquired by the Chinese company Haier.

Despite the fact that the homeland of the brand is Italy, the assembly of washing machines is carried out in a number of other countries. In most cases, washing machines are assembled:

• in Russia;
• in China;
• a small part in European countries.

Candy washing machines, like other household appliances, have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include the following points.

1. Virtually silent operation. For those who have small children in their families, this point is important.
2. Economical consumption of electricity and water. The company devotes enough time to this issue. The latest developments are giving good results.
3. Multifunctionality... Washing machines of this brand can not only wash clothes, but also pre-soak and dry clothes. Of course, the models differ from each other, but there are those that have more than 20 programs on the taskbar for different washing modes.
4. Extensive lineup. It is noteworthy that every year the line is replenished with new models. They differ in the number of programs, the availability of additional options, the design of the appearance, and also the cost.

Despite the apparent reliability and durability, there are also negative aspects. There are disadvantages that a potential consumer should be familiar with before buying an appliance.

1. In washing machines produced under this brand, the lid often breaks.
2. If there are often sudden power surges in the room, this will have an extremely negative effect on the machine. The Candy technique is sensitive to even minor surges.
3. A common problem is a malfunction of the electronic unit.

It is recommended to choose a Candy washing machine not only by its external features. Much attention should be paid to the technical side of the issue. So, the most important are the following technical parameters.

1. Boot type. As in washing machines from other manufacturers, Candy traditionally has a frontal and vertical one. Here, first of all, you need to focus on the place where the equipment will be installed after purchase. If there is not a lot of space, then it is advisable to give preference to some model with top (top) loading. The hatch opens up, and the car itself is much narrower. Front loading models are more suitable for spacious rooms. Their advantage is the ability to be built into furniture.
2. Maximum load of laundry. In different models, this figure varies from 3 to 10 kg. Accordingly, the more laundry can be washed at a time, the higher the cost of the machine will be. But you get a good saving on electricity.
3. Control type... It can be electronic or mechanical.
4. Tank material. Durable plastic or stainless steel can be used in different models. As a rule, the latter option is relevant for more expensive models.
5. Washing class... Classes A and B are considered high. Washing machines with these characteristics ensure maximum efficiency.

In addition, attention should be paid to the design, the availability of additional options (for example, delicate, hand wash), the presence of control systems. Considering all these points, you can choose a high-quality and at the same time attractive model at a good price.
