Candy GVS34 116TC2 / 2-07 washing machine overview

For everyday washing, this is enough. Moreover, small does not mean simple. Candy took care of the extensive set of functions of the washing machine. Of the “interesting goodies”, in addition to the delay timer and steam processing, it is necessary to note the ability to control using a smartphone, but more on that later. In addition, a system for optimizing washing in time and energy consumption has been implemented. It is only important to choose the right mode for the type of fabric. In this case, if you are in a hurry, you can choose the shortest program, which lasts only 14 minutes.

As for the appearance of this washing machine from Candy, here, of course, I can offer only a subjective opinion. In my opinion, the model corresponds to modern trends: aesthetic appearance, excellent ergonomics. At the same time, a large loading hatch, framed by a metal insert, stands out spectacularly. Inside, the steel drum has a corrugated surface called “Shiatsu”. Translated from Japanese "massage".

I believe that in the review of the Candy GVS34 washing machine, model management deserves special attention. And not so much because of the proprietary application, but because of the variety of modes and functions. To begin with, the model can remember settings. Accordingly, if access to electricity is suddenly cut off, after switching on, work will be resumed at the same stage.

The controls are not much different from analogues. There is a rotary switch for selecting a mode (see the table in the manual), buttons and a digital display. The choice of the program is accompanied by its display on the screen. By the way, after the completion of any washing cycle, the display dims to save electricity. As for the indication, it is difficult to evaluate information content here:

1. Function indicators - after pressing any button, the available options are highlighted on the screen;
2. Duration of washing - in the center of the screen the time is always displayed, which can vary depending on the mode, function, weight and other parameters;
3. Door lock - the icon will blink, if you have not closed the door, it stays on until the washing lasts and for some more time at the end of the cycle;
4. Kg Detector - located below the door lock, it only works when choosing a program for cotton and synthetic things.
5. It burns for the first few minutes while the smart sensor weighs the laundry and adjusts the cycle time, the amount of water and energy;
6. Button lock indicator - indicates the inclusion of "parental control";
7. Temperature indicators - to the right of the above pictograms are temperature reflectors. If you want to wash in cold water, make sure that none of the values ​​is highlighted;
8. Spin indicators - show drying speed.

This model of the washing machine provides control using tablets and smartphones based on the Android OS.
When using the software on a phone with NFC and Android, the following functions are available:

• "My statistics" - recommendations for a more efficient use of the washing machine;
• “Programs” - for launching and downloading washing programs;
  An expanded list (up to 40) of standard programs + the ability to create your own washing modes;
• “Smart care” is a troubleshooting guide.

Actually, managing the application is quite simple, the program has a clear menu.

On the control panel, this model has 16 programs (through the application, you can access another 40). These include:

• White cotton;
• Fast wash in 14/30/44 minutes;
• Prewash + Cotton;
• Eco;
• Washing children's things;
• Wool;
• Delicate;
• Synthetics;
• Jeans;
• Rinsing;
• Daily wash;
• Fast wash in 59 minutes;
• Manual
• Drain and spin.

In the same section, I would like to mention the option "Hygiene +". Honestly, I did not immediately figure it out until I looked at the instructions. The manufacturer explains that this function is relevant if you set the temperature to exactly 60 ° C. As a result, clothes are processed throughout the cycle, as a constant, favorable temperature is maintained. Actually, I can’t verify this or refute it, but it sounds logical.

The centrifuge rotates at 1100 rpm. This is enough to squeeze out effectively, but not damage the thing. In this case, you can control the power within acceptable values:

• 400 rpm - for wool, silk, fine fabrics;
• 800 rpm - for things from synthetic fibers;
• 1000 rpm - when using this mode, the residual humidity is about 60 percent;
• 1100 rpm - maximum spin for delicate spin.

Based on expert comments and personal experience, I can say that models with power up to 2000 rpm rarely live up to expectations. Most likely, this is just a marketing ploy. Actually, 1100 rpm for spin Candy GVS34 116TC2 / 2-07 for everyday needs is enough.

There is a hatch lock during operation, foam control, parental control and imbalance control. That is, if necessary, the machine can switch to emergency mode, as a result of which the washing will be stopped. As for the components, there is nothing to complain about. Water supply hose, drain hose, holder - made with high quality. I also did not find defects in the plug, detergent containers. In general, there is reason to believe that the model will last a long time, but time will tell. In any case, the manufacturer gives 1 year warranty on the equipment.

As you already understood from the review of the Candy GVS34 116TC2 / 2-07 super-heavy washing machine, this model supports remote control using a smartphone (based on Android OS with NFC), as well as steam treatment to get rid of allergens. But that's not all. The device has an automatic weighing of linen, which simplifies the search for the optimal mode for washing. There is no drying, but there is a spin up to 1100 rpm. At maximum power, the noise level does not exceed the mark of 77 dB. In the washing mode, a maximum of 56 dB.

Actually, such an arsenal of options against the background of stylish design and really compact sizes is a rather “loud bid" for victory. At the same time, the model consumes 0.9 kW / h per cycle, corresponds to class A ++. Implemented 16 washing programs through the control panel and another 40 through the application. What conclusion can be drawn from here? The model has an excellent value for money. Yes, there are minor nuances. In particular, that the full functionality of a proprietary application is available only if the above conditions are met, but to be honest, the program was not very useful to me.It is quite convenient and easy to use the controls located above the hatch.

For 4 weeks of operation, the Candy washing machine did not give reason to doubt the quality of the equipment. Considering the sizes, washing programs, spaciousness, as well as the results from operation, I can only draw one conclusion - this washing machine has an excellent price / quality ratio.
