Which AEG washing machine to buy? 5 best front models + 1 vertical

Hello! Evgenia is with you again, and we continue to get acquainted with the brands of washing machines. Today my attention was drawn to the AEG washing machine (I still haven’t picked up a new machine, so I’m interested in all the brands available). To understand whether it is worth buying such equipment, I decided to figure it out – what kind of company, who is the manufacturer, what does it offer and what models are the best. Of course, I share my thoughts with the readers of the best portal about household appliances in Runet. Let’s go, I promise not to tire you too much!

AEG – what is the brand where washing machines are assembled?

Everyone knows about AEG as a German company, but on the official websites of the company about this in the section “About UsNothing is said – German surnames, cities appear in the history, but I did not meet a clear concept of “German assembly”. What’s the matter? Turning to the nationwide source of information – Wikipedia, I found out what was what. The company was indeed founded in Germany before the First World War, but the original enterprise no longer exists today. Thus, the AEG trademark is currently used by the Swedish company Electrolux, as well as a group of Chinese companies Techtronic Industries (but only AEG power tools are made in China, so this is not our case).

Who is the manufacturing country of AEG washing machines – Germany or Sweden? Equipment from Electrolux is produced in a number of countries around the world: Sweden, Italy, Hungary, Spain, France, Romania, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, USA, Brazil, Ukraine, Russia and others. Therefore, your “German” machine, at best, may turn out to be Italian or French, at worst, CIS assembly. To reliably verify where a particular SMA is made, you need to look at the information sticker or marking on the case.

What conclusions can be made?

• This is not a Chinese machine, although I have a friendly attitude towards certain brands of Asian technology – again.
• For the Russian market, washing machines are assembled “at home” or in Eastern Europe (this option is preferable) – two.
• German quality is in doubt, but the price for the German brand, of course, is wound up – three.

But this does not mean that the cars are bad and expensive – you need to find out what is special about them, what advantages and innovations are in the best designs, and most importantly – what buyers think about their purchases. I suggest looking into this further.

Features of AEG washing machines

65% of the range are conventional front-end machines, the rest are top loading. This is very good – there is plenty to choose from for any buyer. Narrow, compact и semi-automatic SMA is not for sale. Peculiarities:

• Minimum Load from 5 kg. There are drums that can hold over 9 kg of laundry.
• Spin speed, depending on the price category of equipment – from 800 to 1400 rpm and above.
• There are about a dozen for sale. washer dryers with integrated dryer.
• More than 10 models have steam washing.
• Such a useful option as quick wash, 90% of the range has it – only the cheapest washing machines are deprived of this opportunity.
• Nearly 30% of the machines in the range are equipped with inverter motor – and this is an indicator of solidity.
• The vast majority of SMs (73 out of 81) are equipped with display, which displays information on modes, errors and tips.

• Only 1 car has such a “bun” as highlight the drum.
• All but the most inexpensive cars have all types of protection – from leaks, from foaming, as well as control of imbalance. Child Protection provided for in 60% of the SMA, and surge protection – only 2 machines.
• Energy classes: A, A + and A ++, but most of all modern economical options with class A +++ (34 models).
• Spin classes. Only one machine spins extremely unimportantly (class D), 7 options come with class C, the rest have high classes B and A.
• Noisiness. All cars make noise – this is a constant. But some more, others less. The quietest are those that operate in a quiet mode of 50-55 dB. AEG does not have such offers – the noise level of its products is from 61 to 75 dB and higher. So, 70-75 dB in everyday life is comparable to a noisy conversation, laughter. But don’t worry, it will only bother you during the spin cycle, and when washing, the appliance should be quiet.
• ¾ models in height reach 81-85 cm, and only a quarter of the range is above 85 cm. Keep this in mind if you want to hide the washer under the countertop.
• Almost all typewriters have buttons, and only 4 options have touch pad.

• Price. The cost starts from 20 rubles – these are budget options. Further – more expensive. The most expensive ones cost 000 rubles and more.

Here is what we have at first glance. It seems to me that there is where to roam. Not so long ago I did a review of Chinese “Hier”: the choice was not so extensive, but the prices were not so “biting”. Now let’s move on to the analysis of the characteristics and customer reviews – this should finally clarify the picture.

AEG vertical washing machine

If you have little space in the apartment, and the built-in case is not suitable, you can also buy vertical appliances. Not everyone likes this type of case due to the lack of a beautiful hatch, but experts have long recognized that such washing machines are more reliable and durable. Consider the most popular model.

LTX 7ER272

Very stylish car, compact and even with a display.

The manufacturer took care of both the design and the filling, hence the price – from 51 rubles.

• Spin speed: 1200 rpm.
• Energy efficiency class: A+++.
• Depth: 60 cm.
• Loading: up to 7 kg.
• Noise: 77 dB.
• Water consumption: 46 liters.
• Spin class: B.
• Dimensions HxWxD: 89x40x60 cm.
• Basic modes (10 programs): Delicate, Economical, Night, Jeans, Down, Fast, Steam supply.
• In addition: additional load of linen.

There are no reviews for the model, but as a former owner of a vertical machine that has worked faithfully for 12 years, I will say that this is a good option. Economical, functional, small, stylish – I like it, without a doubt. I’ll also say (again, from experience) that a vertical SMA is easier to disassemble, repair, move, you can throw laundry and stop washing at any time. For those who always forget documents and small things in their pockets, this is an invaluable solution.

Summary. In each review, buyers praise the Italian assembly – this is the main plus of all models. And as for the price, functionality, capabilities – AEG has options for every taste and budget. I hope my advice will help you make your choice. Ask, comment, share your impressions!
