Rank #4 in Best 9kg Washing Machine 2026: 9 Ranked, and Three Counts That Do Not Add Up
Candy CS1492DW4 Smart 9kg 1400rpm Washing Machine
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Candy CS1492DW4 is a freestanding 9 kg washing machine with a 1400 rpm spin, a B energy class, a white finish and NFC, listed at £259.00. It takes fourth place in this guide. It is also the entry that holds together when you read the second column: the specification gives 16 standard cycles and, in a separate field, 16 programmes. The Candy simply-Fi app is described as offering additional programmes on top of that, rather than making up the numbers the headline already claims.
Two numbers in this listing do not meet in the middle, although neither of them is about washing. The brand field says MyChoice while the product title and the manufacturer field both say Candy. Separately, the star breakdown shown adds up to 100 ratings against the 158 quoted for the 4.4 score, so 58 of the ratings behind that average are not visible in the breakdown. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself; we have not tested the machine.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“A great improvement over the one it replaced.Sensible programs and options, e.g. the ability to increase or turn off spin, change temperature, etc.Quiet spin compared to its predecessor.The app is OK for advice but more effort than its worth for programming, imho, though it does have additional programs that might be of help. I haven't used it yet.”
Verified purchase“Had to wait from seven in morning till seven fifteen at night for delivery, but had it fitted and old one taken away . So far has been doing a nice job on the washing, and the spin on the machine is very good , clothes come out fairly dry. Not soaking wet”
