+ The spin cycle is very good and the noise is very low. I had to keep checking it was on when we first installed it.
The easy iron setting work and also has alot of setting which we do use.

- European fitting - both inlet and outlet pipes are larger than some other machines

Score 10.0/10

+ A well built quality product that stands up to the name it wears, neat and stylish in appearance with easy to use controls, very quiet in use and with hardly noticable vibration. It washes good too!!

- None so far, our last machine was an AEG purchased ten years ago, hope this one is as good.

Score 8.0/10

+ The AEG is lovely and quiet and it is only the beep at the end that makes you realise it has finished it wash.

- Compained to our beaten up old whirlpool the cycletime seems to take forever - 2 hours for our normal cotton wash.

Score 9.0/10

+ you can adjust the time the washing takes and it has a quck wash. its a real solid washing machine. i would recommend it to anyone. as i have only been using it a few weeks i am still finding my way round it. it does a quick wash at 40 in 55mins which is the programme i am using the most.

- you cant override the spin on some of the pogrammes and i like to spin at 1400 but i havent checked the manual to see if i can do this.

- A bit too much movement in some cycles and beeping at end of cycles can be annoying rather than informative at times!

+ QUIET. Fuzzy Logic. Programmes which can be adjusted in washing time and spin length. The Easy Iron Plus programme means I can wash pleated skirts, hang them to dry and need no ironing.

- No bad points but it would be nice to have a handwash programme.

Door closing locking feels weak and possible failure mode in future
Attaching cold water tube was difficult and actually leaked first time.

Roy, Paignton

Score 7.0/10

+ Our first non-Hotpoint machine for 20 yrs. Much quieter and pretty easy to use. Hope that it proves to be as reliable as the brand name reputation suggests.

- Control panel could look a bit more modern, but it seems robust enough. Machine is a bit deeper than other ones we have owned, so it sticks out from our worktop by about 2 inches when pushed full back.

Score 6.0/10

+ Fairly easy to use, basic controls - not too many different programmes, but enough to fulfil most people's needs.
Sturdy and reliable washer.
Economical and energy efficient.
Time saving feature is good.
Easy to change spin speed.
Like the fact that the digital display counts down how much time it has left.

- Noise on spin - even called out the engineer in first month as thought there was something wrong with it - but apparently that's just how this model of machine is - however if you make sure you always do full loads then the noise on spin isn't as bad.
For the price I hope we have bought a washer that lasts - but it washes no better than a cheaper machine.

Manufacturer's Description

Washing machine with Silent System

  • 1400rpm 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.
  • ‘B’ 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).
  • 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.
