Debra , London , “A new mum ”

Score 10.0/10

+ Really easy to use. Brilliant digital dial showing you time left on cycle. Very quiet, and fast spin so clothes come out nearly dry. It's an A rated machine so really efficient.

- It is expensive but you definately getting one of the best products on the market.

Score 10.0/10

+ It is easy to use. I have used it continuesly since getting it and I am so happy with its performance that I would recommend it to anyone. The spin cycle 1600 is very good but clothes come out more creased than on the lower cycles.

- I have nothing bad to say about it.

Score 9.0/10

+ Incredibly energy effecient, and the spin speed means that clothes are about 90% dry when the cycle is complete! Also delayed start is incredibly useful and easy to use - say you want to put washing on when you're leaving for work, but don't want it to sit in the machine all day? No problem at all!

- 2:30 wash time is pretty large, and the form factor is slightly larger than advertised.

Type of Loading	Front Loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine.

When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop).

Washing Machines Buyers Guide

Manufacturer's Description

Washing machine with Silent System

1600rpm spin washing machine
6kg wash capacity
This model has a generous 6kg wash capacity, ideal for the larger family. You can save water, electricity and time by washing more laundry in a single load.
‘A’ class wash performance
This labelling scheme is designed to offer a standardised method of choosing the most energy efficient appliances. In addition to energy efficiency, the label also gives similar ratings for washing performance (‘A’ – most efficient, ‘G’ – least efficient). This model is rated ‘A’ class for washing performance. The highest level of wash performance you can get.
‘A’ class spin drying performance
This labelling scheme is designed to offer a standardised method of choosing the most energy efficient appliances. In addition to energy efficiency, the label also gives similar ratings for spin drying performance (‘A’ – most efficient, ‘G’ – least efficient). This washing machine is rated ‘A’ class for spin drying performance. The best standard of spin drying you can get.
Very low water and electricity consumption: 46 litres/wash, 1.02 kWh/wash
30cm extra wide porthole with 165˚ opening for easy access to the drum
Fuzzy Logic load adjustment, out of balance control and Sensortronic foam suppression
This machine’s intelligent fuzzy logic will detect when the laundry is out of balance and re-arrange it, to ensure minimum wear and tear to the drum bearings. The fuzzy logic also detects if too much detergent has been added and adds extra rinses if required.
Aqua-Control
This model features all round water protection. The inlet hose can withstand water pressures many times greater than those found in a domestic mains water supply. If there is an internal leak a sensor, located in the base of the machine, activates the pump to clear water from the appliance. A safety level switch does the same if the water level within the machine exceeds a safe level.
LED programme stage indicator
LEDs light up to indicate which stage the drying cycle is at.
‘Easy Iron’ programme
The “Easy Iron” programme helps prevent creasing of the laundry.
Unique Stain Action programme
AEG washing machines feature a unique stain action programme which is designed to optimise the effectiveness of in-wash stain removers for maximum cleaning power.
