Candy Quick Pro Washer Dryer with ProActive Wash and KG Detector
A single appliance for washing and drying:
The Candy Quick Pro GWD485S6-80 is a freestanding condenser washer dryer that handles an 8 kg cotton wash and a 5 kg drying load, making it a practical choice for medium-sized households where a separate washer and dryer is not an option. Condenser drying means there is no need to route a hose to an outside wall - the machine collects moisture internally, so it can be installed in most standard kitchen or utility spaces.
ProActive Wash for thorough, fabric-friendly cleaning:
Candy's ProActive Wash system uses a targeted water injection process to distribute water and detergent quickly and evenly through the drum. The manufacturer states this removes up to 99% of daily stains while keeping fabric stress low. The Soft Drum interior has an ultra-smooth surface that reduces friction and snagging, helping maintain garment condition through repeated washes.
KG Detector automatically adjusts each cycle:
The built-in KG Detector sensor weighs the load before each cycle begins and automatically sets the right amount of water, time, and energy for that specific load size. This means a half-full drum is not treated the same as a full one, reducing both water and energy use in everyday operation. The machine is described by Candy as 10% more efficient than an A-rated machine, and its weighted energy consumption per 100 wash-only cycles is 43 kWh.
Quiet operation and long-term durability:
AI Silent Motion technology monitors drum rotation continuously and adjusts motor behaviour to reduce vibration and noise. The machine is rated at 72 dB(A) during the wash cycle, with a noise emission class of A. Candy has tested this model to 4,000 cycles, which the manufacturer equates to approximately 20 years of typical use.
Hygiene and freshness features:
Clean Shield protects the drum interior and door seal against bacteria and mould build-up between washes. The Fresh Vapor Cycle uses high-temperature steam to relax fibres and reduce creasing, which is useful for garments that have been sitting in the drum or that need a quick refresh without a full wash. A dedicated Hygiene Plus 59 programme provides a higher-temperature option for items that need more thorough sanitisation.

Setup and Care
Installation:
This freestanding washer dryer connects to a standard cold water inlet and household drainage. As a condenser model, it requires no external vent hose, giving flexibility in placement within a kitchen or utility room. The machine can also be stacked with a compatible Candy tumble dryer using the appropriate stacking kit.
First use:
Before loading laundry for the first time, run an empty cotton cycle at 60°C to clean the drum interior. Ensure all transit bolts have been removed from the rear of the machine before connecting and switching on.
Ongoing care:
The condenser water container should be emptied after each drying cycle. Clean the pump filter every few cycles to maintain drainage performance. The door seal and detergent drawer benefit from a regular wipe-down to prevent residue build-up, and the Drum Clean programme keeps the drum interior fresh between washes.
Garment guidance:
Always check garment care labels before selecting wash temperature and spin speed. The Delicate, Wool Dry, and Hand Wash programmes are suited to more sensitive fabrics. The KG Detector automatically adjusts the cycle to suit the load size, so part-filling the drum is handled efficiently without manual adjustment.
