Candy vs Hisense Washing Machines

Candy and Hisense both compete aggressively on price, but Hisense offers more capacity choices. Candy's listing is the EY49B8-80, a 9kg 1400rpm machine at £269.99. Hisense offers the WFQA8014EVJM 8kg 1400rpm at £259, the WF3S1043BW3 10.5kg smart machine at £329 and the WF3S1243BB3 12kg 1400rpm in black at £399.

Hisense's range spans 8kg to 12kg, letting buyers match the drum to their household. The WF3S1043BW3 adds smart connectivity and a 10.5kg drum for only £59 more than the Candy, while the 12kg WF3S1243BB3 is one of the largest drums available at under £400 and comes in a stylish black finish. Hisense uses inverter motors on its larger models for quieter, efficient running. Candy's EY49B8-80 offers a solid middle ground: 9kg capacity and a 1400rpm spin at a low price, from a brand with a long European laundry history.

For small households, Hisense's 8kg WFQA8014EVJM is cheapest of all at £259. For families of three or four, Candy's 9kg is good value. For larger families, Hisense's 10.5kg and 12kg models offer far more capacity for modest extra outlay, reducing the number of loads per week and making bedding and duvets easier to wash. Hisense effectively covers both ends of the market, leaving Candy competitive mainly in the mid-capacity slot.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you want a large drum or smart features at a low price, with the WF3S1043BW3 10.5kg at £329 and the WF3S1243BB3 12kg at £399 as standout buys. Opt for Candy if a 9kg machine suits your household, with the EY49B8-80 at £269.99 offering reliable, affordable washing.
