Choosing home appliances, most of us try to give preference to brands that are on hearing. Kandy washing machines began to be actively advertised more than 10 years ago. Since then, the manufacturer has "grown" recognition and a very positive reputation. Candy has become increasingly trusted by consumers. Thanks to high quality products and reasonable prices, the brand confidently took its deserved place among the world leaders in the production of household appliances.

Brand origin
The history of the creation of the Candy brand began in 1945, in Italy. After the Second World War, life in many cities and countries began to gradually improve, and the population began to actively equip their lives.
It was in this "wave" of demand for various kinds of household appliances that the entrepreneurial Fumagalli brothers Nizo, Enzo, and Peppino (Niso, Enso, Peppino Fumagalli), who live in a small suburb of Milan, opened a small workshop.
However, the idea of creating an automatic washing machine, which could wash and squeeze the laundry itself, was born even earlier, in the head of the brothers' father - Eden Fumagalli (Eden Fumagalli). Before the war, Eden owned a whole network of OMEF mechanical workshops, developing and repairing mainly production and agricultural machines. But years of devastation bankrupted Eden Fumagalli's company.
Sons decided to realize their father’s dream: they created their own workshop and within a year developed the first model of a washing machine, calling it very simply - “Model-50” (Model 50). Of course, she was far from the automation that we have now, but at that time the device was a real breakthrough.
In 1946, the family dynasty decided to present its development at the Milan Fair of household appliances. The machine was a huge success, and Eden Fumagalli created a new company, Candy Elettrodomestici s.r.l., which later grew into a Candy Group holding.
In 1954, Kandy launched the first semi-automatic washing machine, which can independently spin laundry. In the same year, the owner of the company opens its first overseas production in France. By the 80th year, Kandy conquers the world market and begins to produce not only washing machinesbut also dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators and more. Large Candy home appliance factories are appearing in many countries. The development of the holding continues to this day.

We have such a machine for half a year already. The apartment is small and the choice fell on this particular Candy Aquamatic Tempo model. No complaints erase equally well at thirty degrees and at maximum temperature. Simple button controls are exactly those that are needed no more, but this model is only for small family
I currently have a Candy CS4 1272D3 / 2 washing machine at home (bought for 17 thousand rubles). The second year has been working flawlessly, and it has been working a lot, as the family has two children and washing just mountains!
The only thing when installing the washing machine, and we installed it on our own, put a drain pipe low on the floor of the washing machine, and the machine did not work showing an error, but when we outweighed it above 50 cm from the floor, it worked!
When I chose an automatic machine for myself, I preferred the Candy GVW 264 DC model, I really liked its huge loading door. Capacity 6 kg, it is enough for washing for a large family. You can wash the plaid from the roof and a small blanket. Spin 1200 rpm very well dry clothes, take out almost dry.
