Candy TCA273D3-S Top Loading Washing Machine 7 kg 1200 RPM White

Because it loads from the top, the TCA273D3-S needs no space in front for a swinging door, and at just 41 cm wide it slots into gaps where a standard front loader simply won't go. It stands 86 cm tall and 60 cm deep, so it suits small bathrooms, hallway alcoves and compact flats. Despite the narrow body, it still takes up to 7 kg of laundry per cycle.

The 46-litre drum is made of stainless steel, a material chosen for washing machines because it stands up well to water, detergent and years of regular use. With a 7 kg capacity, you can wash bedding, towels or a mixed family load in a single cycle instead of splitting it in two, which saves both time and running costs over the course of a week.

A maximum spin speed of 1200 RPM wrings plenty of water out of your clothes before the cycle ends. That means laundry comes out lighter, dries quicker on the rack or line and spends less time hanging around the flat, which makes a real difference in Estonian winters when drying indoors is the norm. Gentler fabrics can be washed on lower settings using the dedicated programmes.

With 17 washing programmes, the Candy covers everything from everyday cottons to more delicate items without you having to guess at settings. The delay start timer lets you load the machine in the evening or before leaving for work and have the wash finish when it suits you. Settings and progress are shown on a clear digital display, so you always know what the machine is doing.

The TCA273D3-S carries an energy efficiency class C rating, with a stated consumption of 59 kWh per 100 washing cycles. That figure makes it easy to estimate running costs before you buy. The machine runs on a standard 220-240 V supply and uses an AC motor, so it plugs into an ordinary household socket without any special installation.

This is a free-standing machine, so it does not need to be built into kitchen cabinetry and can be moved if you rearrange or change homes. It weighs 55.5 kg, which helps keep it planted during spin cycles. The maximum noise level is listed at 79 dB, with a noise emission class of C. There is no viewing window, steam function or drying system, keeping the design straightforward.

This washer is aimed at households that need real capacity but have very little floor space: city flats, rentals, small bathrooms and utility nooks. Couples and small families will appreciate the 7 kg drum and 17 programmes, while anyone with a bad back may prefer loading from the top rather than bending down. If you want a simple, compact washing machine at a good price, it fits the bill.
