Our old AEG came in the years (11 years service life). Suddenly holes in the laundry, fabric tears and chafing. The latter especially in shirts (collars, cuffs) to the same old places. The collar points could z. B. have hooked into the holes in the drum. It would fit. So we were looking for a machine with a honeycomb drum. Such is offered, among others Bosch / Siemens or Miele and Samsung for your machine. We took our time for several days. A smoother surface than inside in the Miele we have not found. Lt. Information in the media market revised Bosch / Siemens currently its honeycomb drum, as it occasionally came to complaints. In fact, we found machines before with such drums that looked something sharp. One other dealer who also repairs machinery itself makes less the drum, as much more responsible for filling an incorrect wash damage. Our old AEG holds 5 kg of laundry. In case of excessive loading the laundry is exposed to very high loads, entangled, is under train / increased friction. In addition, each drum is suspended flexibly. Improper loading can always a gap between the drum and seal occur, is clamped in the short term in the laundry or tilts. In drain filter then z. B. emerge buttons, button stuck inside. So even with the AEG. He gave us the following advice for Split Search: 1. programs. Are these useful / clear (75% of all programs are never used)? 2. Quality. How good is the process? One notices, for. Instance to the drawer for detergent. Is this easy to operate, it can be used to clean and easy removal / reinsertion? Since we have encountered very different qualities .... The same goes for the controls / barrel (some were coated, giving us less liked) and the door. 3. Service. Miele was top, Bosch / Siemens good, AEG fine. Samsung is under construction, since there would be no Ergfahrungen. They would have nationwide service numbers for fault indication. Who would then, he could not say. 4. Drum volume / washing performance. Since each manufacturer has models that z. B. a "good" provided by Stiftung Warentest. We decided to spend the Miele. The free processing is very good, the programs / controls are useful / clear. 7 KG filling volume is sufficient for us and significantly more than the AEG. A contact with the customer service (registration of the machine) was pleasant and left a very good impression. We have the desired honeycomb drum although I now believe that the correct filling of the machine is really crucial. Washing performance is top. The intensively used mattress of an old lady was at 90 degrees gleaming white, pleasantly fragrant and absolutely spotless. Overall, we have the impression that yoy. AEG is a noticeably better wearing comfort of the garments. Although the machine has no AquaStop, this could also be for less than Euro 30 .-- subsequently purchase / connect, for a steel jacketed water hose as a safety component. In addition, a so-called Water Control System is integrated. Consumption class A ++. Water consumption is undercut by more modern machines, although, for the programs run in some cases significantly longer. The volume in the wash / spin is OK We are absolutely satisfied. And our AEG? After a thorough cleaning machines it runs flawlessly, much to the delight of their new owner, however, who also considers herself to our loading tips ...
