This washing machine also consumes 0.5 watts when turned off around the clock. That is not just in standby if the display is still active, but also when you press the "off" button and all lights extinguished. This is even so in the user manual ("Power consumption on / off = 0.48 Watt"). These are then annually 4200 watts or 4,2kW. For this unnecessarily verbratene electricity could have let 9x run the 40 ° -Standardprogramm. In terms of electricity costs falling at an annual rate not large consequence. But in a washing machine, which bears the word "eco" in the name, it is in my opinion quite unnecessary, that power is consumed even when switched off. At the Aqua Stop should not be also, the dishwasher also has my and when standing still "0.00 Watt" on the ammeter. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the AEG Öko Lavamat L76474EFL washing machine. Of course, the austerity programs need some very long, but that's according to Stiftung Warentest for all producers so that trim their machines to "A +++". That's all just about the extension of the program duration. If it must go fast times, one always has the option Yes, without "Saving" to use the normal programs. By automatic load but the duration will be somewhat reduced when the machine is not fully loaded in the long austerity. By default, the machine will beep for each key pressed and also at certain intervals, when a program ends. This can be the device but wean luckily on the settings, so that in this respect tranquility reigns. The quality of the clothes after the washing process makes me happy. No fluff, less wet than in my old machine and everything clean. The very large opening for the wash like. The instruction book is illustrated, formulated in detail and very understandable.
