Courts, the largest retailer of electrical, IT products and furniture, will bring a range of washing machines from Italian brand Candy into Singapore.

A forerunner in the industry, Candy has designed the GrandÓ Plus, the world's slimmest washing machine, which includes a tub with 50L capacity in a 40 cm depth and yet washes up to 7 kg of laundry.

The range of washing machines includes standard capacity at 6 kg load up to maximum capacity at 10 kg load, with sizes ranging from 40 cm depth to 60 cm depth.

“Candy is a well established and leading brand in Europe but has not been available to the Singapore market. Courts, always in the forefront of bringing the latest technology and new experiences to our customers; we feel that this is a great opportunity to introduce Candy’s range of innovatively designed washing machines to the Singapore market. Especially its slimmest range of washing machines, the GrandÓ Plus answers the need of optimising kitchen space available at home which is becoming smaller compared to what it used to be,” said Terry O’Connor, OBE, CEO of Courts.

Candy's washing machines will be available at all Courts stores from early October. Prices start at $699.

Clever use of the bay window to convert into seats for the dining area.

Another nice fixture is both the common and master bathroom comes with a rain shower that is flushed with the ceiling.
