Candy BQ 49BL11U-S 9 kg 1400 RPM Steam Wi-Fi Washing Machine

The 63-litre stainless steel drum holds up to 9 kg of laundry, so bedding, towels and a week's worth of family clothes can go through in fewer cycles. With 19 programmes to choose from, you can match the wash to the fabric and level of soiling. The delayed start timer lets you set the machine to finish exactly when you are ready to unload it.

Candy's patented ProActive EcoWash system pre-mixes detergent with water and sprays the solution directly onto the clothes while the drum rotates. According to the manufacturer, this makes garments twice as bright and helps fibres last four times longer, results certified by Ritex (24CR00126). It is designed to get detergent working on the laundry quickly instead of leaving it to dissolve slowly at the bottom of the drum.

The steam function adds another layer of care to your washing routine. The Soft Drum design uses a smooth surface and laser-cut seams that protect delicate fabrics and help clothes keep their shape and softness wash after wash. Together they suit households that wash a mix of everyday cotton and more sensitive garments.

An inverter motor drives the drum, while AI Silent Motion intelligently adjusts drum movements to minimise vibration. Maximum noise is listed at 70 dB, with noise emission class A, so the machine is a reasonable fit for flats where the laundry area sits close to living space. The maximum spin speed of 1400 RPM delivers spin-drying class B performance.

With energy efficiency class A and a stated consumption of 27 kWh per 100 wash cycles, this washing machine helps keep running costs under control. It runs on a standard 220-240 V supply and comes with a Schuko plug, which matches the sockets used in Estonian homes.

Built-in Wi-Fi brings remote control to your laundry, while the touchscreen and display make choosing programmes and settings on the machine itself straightforward. The manufacturer does not name the companion app in the listed specifications, so check Candy's current app support before you buy if smartphone control is important to you.

Candy states that the machine's construction and materials are tested for a 20-year lifespan, backed by 4,000 cycles of internal durability testing and TÜV ID 1111290288. The white freestanding unit measures 60 × 58 × 85 cm and weighs 67 kg. It suits families and busy households that need large capacity, careful fabric handling and modern controls in a standard-size machine.
