Buying Guide - Washing Machines

FIND THE BEST WASHING MACHINE FOR YOU WITH OUR BUYING GUIDE

There are many factors to consider in which washing machine to buy that best suits your lifestyle and needs. The location and space available, the different types of fabrics you care for and how many washes you do per week all influence which washing machine you should choose. Below you will find our simple buying guide that is going to help you find the right washer for you.

Washing Machine Dimensions

Whether you want a freestanding washer or one that´s integrated (or built in), the first step is to make sure it fits. You can start by understanding the space you have:
Width: 60-48cm - we recommend a front-loading washer
Width: 45-40cm - consider a top loading washer
Depth: 45-38cm - a slim depth front-loading washer will fit in this space

Tip: If you have a small laundry area, consider purchasing a 2-in-1 washer dryer combo. Remember to choose a front-loadingunit if you want to stack your tumble dryer. Check out our AEG stacking kit.

Washing Machine Capacity

When it comes to deciding on the capacity for your washing machine, you should consider a few things:
Household size: large families versus single
Habits: how many times a week do you wash?
Type and size of wash items: For example bedlinens, duvets, and curtains will require a larger drum for the best results.

All AEG washing machines are equipped with ProSense technology. ProSense uses weight sensors to adjust water and energy consumption depending on the load. This saves time and money and ensures your clothes are protected.

Energy Efficient Washing Machine

Every AEG washing machine is designed to significantly reduce energy and water usage. Cleaning and caring for clothing without imparing performance. The energy ratings for AEG washing machines range from A+++ to A+++ -75%. That means that the highest AEG rating performs 75% more efficiently than the A+++ rating requires.

Specific technologies can also contribute to better energy ratings. Those include inverter motors, ECO option technology, or ProSense technology.

Quiet and quick

There are two additional things to consider when choosing a washing machine:

Silent Running Cycles

Our washing machines maintain a noise level as low as 47 decibels. So doing laundry doesn´t disrupt the peaceful environment of your home.

Quick Programmes

You can wash your clothes using short programmes in as fast as 20 minutes for a small load (3kg). For bigger loads, choose the OKOPower programme (on selected machines). The OKOPower programme washes clothes in 59 minutes with great results and the new MYWash programme lasts only 49 minutes.

Smart Washing Machine

With the MY AEG Care App, connect your laundry appliances to your phone for a smarter, faster way to care for your wash. Simply open the app and choose the temperature, fabric type and colour. The app will tailor a program in response. For customized laundy care - all from your smartphone.

Matching appliances

If you´d like to "match" your washing machine with a tumble dryer, our AEG models are made to pair. So you can stack them, or install them side-by-side and optimise your laundry space.

Washing Machine with Steam

Steam is a good choice if you´re avoiding winkles and ironing. AEG ProSteam® Technology washing machines feature the PlusSteam option that allows you to reduce wrinkles by up to a third by adding steam at the end of the wash cycle. Or you can use a seperate steam cycle as a quick and easy way to refresh rumpled clothes.

Certifications

Woolmark certification is a stamp of approval from the Woolmark Company. Rest assured that our AEG machines are gentle enough for washing wool - including delicates.

AEG ÖKOMix washing machines are certified* by Ariel and Lenor. That means they offer optimal cleaning and distribution of fabric softener on the items you love. Every thread is given just the right treatment. Keeping your clothes feeling newer, longer.

It´s the little black dress guardian

Imagine a washing machine that you can trust to keep your colours as vibrant and blacks as true as the day you bought them. Yet never compromising on cleaning performance. Washing deeply. Thoroughly. Every time. At last, there is no need to compromise performance for care. Only AEG SoftWater Technology purifies and softens water, delivering 60 degree cleaning performance at just 30 degrees. Maintaining the colour, shape and feel of every garment. Wash after wash. It´s more than a washing machine. It´s the guardian of your clothes.

SoftWater Technology

Purifies and softens water to maintain garments colour, shape and feel.
ÖKOMix Technology

Unique pre-mixing of detergent, softener and water to reach every fibre.
ProSteam® Technology

Cuts the creases by one third and quickly refreshes clothes.

No fading, wash after wash*

Softer water, kinder to clothes. Because our advanced SoftWater Technology purifies and softens water before it enters the drum, detergents can work much more effectively at low temperatures, delivering 60°C cleaning performance at only 30°C. So colours will keep their intensity wash after wash, and black won´t fade to grey.

*Test for colour-fastness performed on black polyester after 50 washing cycles at 30 degrees.

Cuts the creases by one third*

ProSteam® technology cuts the creases by one third and minimizes the need for ironing. Your clothes are quickly refreshed without being exposed to the complete laundry process, protecting them from wear and tear.

Colours love salt

Without coming into contact with your clothes, the salt activates an ion-exchange filter that softens the water and removes harsh minerals and impurities. So colours will keep their intensity wash after wash and blacks won´t fade to grey.

Introducing the delicate shirt defender

Faultless fabric never goes out of style. Your delicate pieces need to be treated gently to ensure that their quality is timeless, no matter how often you wear them. To achieve this, AEG 8000 Series washing machines with advanced ÖKOMix Technology blend detergents and then softeners with water before they enter the drum.

In other washing machines, less than half of the fibres are reached by softeners. ÖKOMix Technology quarantees that, for the first time ever, every fibre is cleaned and cared for, even with shorter cycles. Every thread, every stitch, every fibre. Expertly protected.

Cares twice as effectively

ProSense® Technology adjusts time, water and energy consumption to the size of the load, even if it is just a single shirt or your entire weekly laundry. This is thanks to specific sensors that will intelligently control the cycle settings and take care that your clothes are only washed for the exact amount of time needed. This ensures that fabrics suffer less wear and tear, maintaining colour and texture for longer.

With ProSense® Technology you get:

Faster load detection - quickly adapts the cycle after the programme starts.

Higher accuracy - optimises the cycle based on the textile type by detecting the load size and measuring the water absorption.

Greater flexibility - adapts the cycle for even the smallest loads (1-2 kg).
