Rank #1 in Best 10kg Washing Machine 2026: 10 Ranked by One-Star Share
Candy Quick Pro 10kg 1400rpm Washing Machine, White
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Candy Quick Pro is a 10 kg, 1400 rpm freestanding washing machine at £279, the lowest price of the ten machines in this guide. Candy rates it A-20% on energy, meaning 20% below the threshold for A class, and the Amazon listing carries 4.5 out of 5 from 338 ratings. It takes the top spot here.
It reads well once you read the star breakdown correctly. Candy's bars are 6% one star, 1% two, 5% three, 9% four and 79% five — they add up to exactly 100, so they are shares of those 338 ratings, not counts of them. On the share that matters most to a buyer, one-star, this machine sits at 6%. The same page is less tidy in other places: the first bullet calls the machine a Hoover while the title says Candy; the dimensions field reads 85D x 55W x 85H centimetres and the item depth field repeats 85 centimetres, so the listing describes a machine that is 85 cm deep as well as 85 cm tall; and the operation mode is given as Semi Automatic on a page that also describes a front-load, freestanding machine with a push-button digital display and 16 programmes. Everything on this page comes from Candy's Amazon listing — we have not tested this machine.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“So far so good 👌Received today after ordering on Saturday. Great size, product fits perfectly into my kitchen. Done a quick 39 min wash, machine is quiet, spin was definitely quieter than my old one. Needed to put it on for another 9mins "spin & drain cycle" (it was too wet to go straight out on the line or in the tumble dryer) but nothing I wouldn't normally do tbh. Nice and clear dial with lots of wash options & settings to choose from. Best part is the door lock isn't a 1 or 2 minute wait, so very happy so far.... 😀. Quick delivery by Amazon, took my old one away with a small charge. Can't comment on reliability or its durability....too early tell but it's great so far and good value.”
Verified purchase“Good little washing machine. It's got plenty of wash options and quiet on the spin. I opted for the 8 pound drum as there's only 2 of us. . It was delivered quick and a simple plumb in . I would recommend”

Questions people ask
How many ratings does the Candy Quick Pro have?
The listing shows 4.5 out of 5 from 338 ratings, with 79% of the star bars on five stars and 6% on one star.
Does the star breakdown mean 79 five-star reviews?
No. Candy's five bars add up to exactly 100 (6+1+5+9+79), so they are percentage shares of the 338 ratings rather than counts.
What are the Candy Quick Pro's dimensions?
The listing's dimensions field reads 85D x 55W x 85H centimetres, and the item depth field repeats 85 centimetres, so the page describes a machine 85 cm deep and 85 cm tall. We have not measured it.
Is it a noisy machine?
Candy lists 72 decibels. Reviewers describe the spin as quiet, one saying it was quieter than their old machine — that is buyer opinion, not a measurement.
What wash cycles does it have?
Candy says 16 programmes, including eight quick wash cycles, a 14-minute rapid wash and a 39-minute cycle for mixed fabrics.
Is the Candy Quick Pro semi-automatic?
The spec table's operation mode field says Semi Automatic, while the same page lists a front-load, freestanding machine with a push-button digital display and 16 programmes. Those two descriptions do not agree.
