Candy Quick Pro 8kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer with A+ Energy Rating

A+ efficiency without compromising on speed:

The Candy GDL8N1-80 carries an A+ energy rating and consumes just 2.08 kWh on a full cotton load, keeping running costs well below those of older condenser and vented dryers. With 138 kWh used per 100 cycles and annual savings adding up over time, this heat pump tumble dryer makes practical sense for households that use their dryer regularly throughout the week.

Rapid cycles for everyday loads:

Up to seven rapid programmes let you dry smaller loads in as little as 14 minutes, with options at 14, 20, 30, 45, and 59 minutes to suit whatever you need done quickly. For larger cotton loads the full-load drying time is 220 minutes, with a half-load completing in 120 minutes. The 24-hour delay start lets you set the machine to finish at a time that suits your routine.

Sensor Dry and fabric care across 16 programmes:

Sensor Dry technology monitors moisture levels throughout the cycle and stops automatically when your laundry reaches the selected dryness level - you choose from four settings depending on how dry you want the result. The Soft Touch programme uses low temperatures and careful timing to protect delicates, while Easy Iron Plus uses gentle drum rotation after drying to reduce creases and cut down on ironing time. The Wool programme, Colours, Jeans, Shirts, Synthetics, and XS Small round out a 16-programme selection that covers most fabric types in a typical household wash.

AI Smart Move and the Memo function:

AI Smart Move adjusts drum movement during the cycle to reduce tangling, with Candy claiming up to 90% fewer tangles compared to standard drum patterns. The Memo function stores your most-used programme so you can recall it with a single touch rather than scrolling through the menu each time. An anti-crease function and child lock are also included as standard.

Practical design and installation:

At 850 x 595 x 590mm and 42kg net weight, the GDL8N1-80 fits the standard freestanding dryer footprint and is compatible with Candy stacking kits if a laundry-column setup is preferred. The stainless steel (Inox) drum holds 102 litres and the water tank sits at the top of the machine for easy access. A drain hose is included if you prefer a permanent water outlet rather than emptying the tank manually. The LED display with button controls is clear and straightforward to use. Three alert indicators - blocked filter, full tank, and end of cycle - keep you informed without any guesswork.

Setup and Care

Placement:

Position the dryer on a firm, level surface in a well-ventilated area. The machine can be stacked on top of a compatible Candy washing machine using an approved stacking kit, which keeps the footprint compact in a smaller laundry space.

Drainage:

The included drain hose connects to a standard household waste pipe for continuous drainage. Alternatively, the top-mounted water tank can be emptied manually after each cycle - the full tank indicator will alert you when it needs attention.

Filter Cleaning:

The lint filter should be cleaned after every cycle to keep the dryer running at its best efficiency. The blocked filter indicator on the LED display will alert you if airflow is restricted. A clean filter also helps maintain the A+ energy performance over time.

Heat Exchanger Maintenance:

The heat exchanger should be checked and cleaned periodically according to the schedule in the instruction manual. Regular maintenance keeps the heat pump system operating efficiently and helps extend the working life of the appliance.
