Which washing machine is better: Haier or Candy

Choosing a “home assistant” can hardly be called a simple matter, given the variety of models and characteristics offered by the market. Therefore, we decided to help you and compared two units, one of which comes from China, and the other from Italy. The equipment is very different both in appearance and in its functionality, which will make it difficult to determine the winner in this battle. However, we will still try to find out who will take the lead: the Haier washing machine or Candy?

What do experts say about Kandy machines?

First of all, let's talk about the features and functions of washing machines from the famous Italian company Candy, which has been successfully operating on the Russian market for many years and even has its own production facility in the country. The presence of a local plant allows you to reduce costs and significantly facilitates the process of delivery of all components for quick maintenance and repair. The model range of this brand represents various types of devices, which differ in load capacity, dimensions and functionality. This helps you choose the best option for the needs of a particular family.

Candy washing machines have the main advantage that sets them apart from other competitors, and it lies in a high degree of technology. The company's product range includes not only traditional models with mechanical controls and a standard set of programs, but also machines with touch panels, large displays, and even with a function that allows you to synchronize the unit with a smartphone. The possibility of remote start significantly saves the user’s time, providing him with peace and comfort.In addition, there are also such positive aspects as:

• value for money;
• stylish design;
• large selection of programs.

It should be noted: Candy washing machines have fairly low water and electricity consumption, which helps save the user’s budget!

We've talked about the pros, now let's move on to the cons. First of all, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the units of this company are made of very cheap plastic, which emits a rather strong odor. It is not considered harmful, but there is a feeling that the manufacturers have bribed the person issuing the safety certificate.

Moreover, the equipment has a rather low maintainability. This is due to the fact that it has a monolithic, non-separable tank, which significantly complicates the process of replacing bearings. The control module is poorly protected from power surges and high humidity, which is why it quickly fails. The bearings are poorly lubricated, and some craftsmen came across them without any lubricant at all.

We will stop at these points. Generally speaking, washing machines of this brand do not give the impression of a reliable design, but they still work well for their money. Therefore, many housewives continue to give them their preference.

Experts' opinions about the Hayer machine

Products of Chinese industry have managed to gain popularity among Russian consumers due to their quality and reliability. Haier brand household appliances are distinguished by affordable prices and high performance. The company's product range includes both inexpensive models for everyday use and more professional devices. It is worth noting that even the simplest devices from this manufacturer will be somewhat more expensive than the competitors under consideration.

It would also not be amiss to add that these washing machines have a stylish design. The company closely monitors market trends and produces only those models that fully comply with European trends in terms of appearance, colors and combination of materials. The extended warranty period confirms the high quality of the build. Sellers are ready to support their equipment for 3 years, despite the fact that the stated period reaches 12 years, and the actual period turns out to be even longer. There were no complaints about frequent breakdowns.

Haier equipment is distinguished by enhanced spinning, at which the drum rotation speed reaches 1600 rpm. In this case, users should be careful, since when washing delicate fabrics it is better to turn on the gentle mode, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the products when rotating quickly. Washing machines of this brand are mainly intended for families consisting of 3-4 people. The minimum load is 6 kg, and the largest of the presented models can load over 10 kg of laundry. The advantages also include:

• low noise level;
• simple controls;
• space saving;
• quick 15-minute wash in separate units.

If we talk about the weak points of the unit, then here, perhaps, it is worth highlighting the control module. The need for repairs occurs very rarely, because it receives damage after which it can no longer function. Because of this, the owner has to completely replace the parts. Also, the devices of this company have a rather limited set of modes, so you have to spend time manually setting up the equipment. A modern user may not like this arrangement of things.

Kandi or Hayer: we determine the winner

Based on all the information received today, we can conclude that the Chinese Haier washing machine is becoming the undisputed leader. It combines all the necessary qualities: high reliability, decent functionality, durable body and stylish appearance. It will not be difficult for such a “home assistant” to take care of the belongings of a large family with small children.

Despite the fact that the Candy brand lost the argument, many of its models are distinguished by a large assortment, simple controls, excellent functionality and integrated modern technologies. Therefore, it is impossible to say that this model was completely destroyed. Let’s assume that Haier was only “half a length” ahead of its opponent. And we wish you to always make an informed choice and buy only those household appliances that best suit your needs.
