About Us

The company was founded in the early 80s of the 19th century by the German engineer Emil Raterau. At that time, the company was called DEG and was engaged in the production of Edison lamps. A few years later, DEG produced teapots, curling irons, irons and changed its name to the well-known to us – AEG. Over time, the company expanded its product range and offered customers high-quality refrigerators, ovens and washing machines. For functionality and stylish design, the company has repeatedly been awarded prizes at international exhibitions.

In the middle of the 20th century, a new factory was opened, which was engaged in the production of refrigerators and freezers. In 1953, the first built-in refrigerators appeared, ten years later the world saw the first built-in freezer. After 21 years, the company released a refrigerator model with a built-in evaporator, which made it possible to significantly save energy. In 1998, production reached a new level, and the company introduced a model with a reduced freon content, and after another 5 years, a refrigerator was produced that works completely without gas.

In 1994, the well-known brand Elecrolux became the owner of the company, while the brand did not cease to exist. The company is still engaged in the production of high-quality equipment, which is popular all over the world.

Disadvantages

Even the best technology has its drawbacks. Buyers claim that some models make noise during operation.

The main disadvantage is the high cost of equipment. But the considerable cost is fully justified during use. Reliable equipment made of high quality materials with a wide range of functions cannot be cheap.

AEG Side-by-Side

Stand-alone Side-by-Side models appeared not so long ago, but have already gained popularity in the home appliance market. This technique has hinged doors and is suitable for storing large volumes of products. Models of this design are in demand among large families and lovers of culinary arts.

The doors open like in a closet, which has an impressive internal volume – from 500 to 800 liters. The popularity of the technique is due not only to volume: in a wide refrigerator, unlike a narrow one, it is more convenient to evenly place products. Each chamber is equipped with autonomous temperature control: if you need to open one door, the temperature in the other chamber remains untouched.

Most AEG Side-by-Side models have an ice maker, a freshness zone for storing meat, berries, fish or greens, and a mini-bar. Not all conventional models can boast of such amenities.

Customer Reviews

Hope, Vladimir

We ordered a two-chamber AEG SANTO 86348 KG1, delivery was fast – about a week. After switching on, we cannot get enough of it: very large, roomy, and most importantly, quiet. The old refrigerator always did not fit all the necessary products, but this one still has plenty of free space. Of the amenities – a special shelf for wine, which we almost never empty.

Of the shortcomings – too much cooling of the shelf for fruits and vegetables, but this is a minor minus.

Alexey, Perm

I chose for a long time, settled on the AEG S83200CMM0. Large volume, high-quality stainless steel, and pleased with the price. Lots of useful features that I’ve never heard of before. Convenient shelves, roomy chambers, I advise everyone who wants a comfortable and high-quality thing.

Elena, Moscow

My husband and I have been choosing a refrigerator for more than three months, we wanted it to have all the useful functions and a large volume. First, they chose another model, which was not available, at the very last moment they ordered the AEG S 74000 CSMO. We were pleased with the fresh zone, vacation mode, a shelf for bottles and bright lighting. Previously, they could not store all the products at once, they had to wait until there was space to put something else. And now – a fairy tale, everything fits, and even free space always remains. Impressed by how quiet it is, does not interfere with sleep, it works almost silently. One minus – the door closes too much to open it is necessary to make an effort.

Olya, Vladivostok

I have two small children, so I was looking for a quiet refrigerator so that it would not interfere with sleep. I settled on the AEG S73600 CSMO. After the purchase, I went to listen – loud or not. Then I realized it’s great. There is still a lot of space, the zone of freshness and the design is beautiful, it looks great in the kitchen. I can say with confidence that I justified my price. Of the minuses – fragile plastic, from which the shelves are made, one fell during washing and a piece broke off.

For each, even the most demanding user, there is a model to taste that will meet expectations. In addition to the mass of functions, AEG offers a large selection of colors, one of which is sure to suit you.
