Customer Review

First: uncomplicated delivery
Custom setting up a large-scale facility in accordance with normal for 4 hands, delivery gave indication of the location of the removed Drum transportation safety. For the 4 Fußstellschrauben the straight aligning a wrench supplied was there, as well as covers for transport safety inputs, drain hose, bracket sheet for Abschlaufschlauch and water supply hose.

Initial start-up was carried out in accordance with the operating manual with the previous filling of 2 liters of water and boil wash program without laundry 95 degrees with little powder. (Supplier gave false instruction for short-range choice for the Erstleerwaschgang and no mention of the addition of water into the detergent compartment and moreover, there would be nothing in the instructions, are). Read the manual before operating worthwhile.

First positive aha effect: machine wash super quiet, so that you can hear nothing but the water that runs into the detergent compartment. Each wash program starts with the pumping of water. The water pump is about as loud as the spin cycle.
The smell of the first cycle of the drum smelled strongly of rubber - but he vanished after a few washes and open door.

Abnormalities of the first washloads:
- Wool program: default is 1200 revolutions for the spin cycle, m. E. too high, lt. Manual is always the highest possible in the program spin speed of the program offered.
- The wool program 30 degrees did not make it to dissolve the detergent powder. Had on the clothes (new black cotton socks, black cotton pants) white detergent stains.
- Water outlet behind flap does not contain a drain hose, water runs out when you open the Siebfach to look for after the first wash after B. rinsed packaging remnants in the sieve..

A change of the previous washing habits is necessary: ​​wash low temperatures with liquid detergent, use wool program only for wool sweater; same colored synthetic sports casual pants and cotton socks or trousers can not be washed as fast "gentle cycle" in the wool program (also) to save z. B. a wash load and especially time. With 1 hour washing time the fastest normal program that I already previously most commonly used. The drum capacity would indeed allow, the wash result can then be desired. Wool sweater fluff up and lose fibers which are then attached to the rest of the laundry. The wool sweaters are nice but fluffy. Shirts in wool program with powder were not clean at 40 degrees.
Kitchen towels and cotton tablecloth with light spots (eg. B. greenish from tomatoes to dry after washing, gravies splashes, ...) have been at 40 degrees Easy-care program does not clean, here I had to use the 95 degree hot wash program.

At first, I had to repeatedly wash to get detergent residue and stains (when used wool program) from washing the laundry.
The Easy Iron program for shirts then has convinced me because the tissue was nice and smooth, and they were easier to iron.
The down program to wash down Betts has convinced me during the washing result of blinders, even though I only used down liquid detergent.
The moisture of the laundry takes place after a short time even when fully loaded.

In the election of additional options to the already quite a long washing time will be longer. That
Anti allergy program took me too long for bedding (with prewash and extra rinse cycle over 5 hours).

The drum is internally super smooth and has no sharp edges on the drivers. Here I had been negatively viewed with various models in the store. Therefore, AEG came with Toptex honeycomb drum in my shortlist. But also because of the auto-off feature, the new programs for down and refresh / vapors, the Woolmark Sigel (marked for hand washing wool can be washed according to the instructions in the machine) and the larger drum and filling opening fell my choice on this machine.

The volumetric capacity of the drum creates a spring / down duvet size 1.55 x 2.20 m.

In the program overview of the instructions a maximum loading amounts for each program are. So z. B. is in the wool max-loading with 2 kg, given at 20-minute program of 3 kg for delicate fabrics, easy iron and easy care with 4 kg Max loading. But here I miss a overcharge display or weighing function, because the drum would m. E. to hold more laundry, as was here indicated.

Positives:
Machine often starts 5 min. After the end of operation itself. The next time you see it is the last program setting and probably a symbol for detergent overdosage if they existed.

Steam programs for refreshing short worn, not soiled laundry [and a smoothing] I could not even try. (1.5 kg maximum load) In the manual states: "This program eliminates odors from the laundry INFO:. Steam eliminates any ANIMAL odors."
There must be no detergents are added, and the laundry must be suitable for the dryer.

The reload function is indeed not explicitly listed, but reloading is possible to start operation anyway. Press Program pause and wait for the door unlocking clacks (key symbol disappears), then can still forgotten wash refills (tentatively approximately 3 minutes after that possible, depending on water levels).
Display: is clear, easy to understand, clear (red illuminated), described in detail in the manual.

Operation: simple program selection with knob settings appear on the display, the temperature and each program step of washing as spin, rinsing, stains / prewash period, then can be adjusted manually using the respective icon button up or down. However Zuwahlfunktionen (prewash, time saving) and temperature adjustments are not possible in all programs.

The detergent compartment is well flushed. The spot option flushes stain detergent separately from the 4th detergent compartment (1 Pre-wash, main wash 1, 1 softener / nursing auxiliary, 1 stain additive) into the drum for better effectiveness of the detergent.
The main wash detergent compartment can be separated with a flap for liquid detergent, but this is always with flaps change removing the detergent drawer by pressing the "pull-out fuse" ahead of time - and that's annoying and I had already forgotten the case of powder filling down - the powder but was nevertheless almost completely rinsed. In addition, I noticed, when the flap is not pressed firmly down, the liquid medium can drain. In the manual are also then that the time delay should not be selected in liquid detergent and filling flap down, lt AEG service center. So when entering the liquid detergent not stain the clothes emerge. Here I see room for improvement.

The programing of the time delay allows the wash to start delay up to 20 hours later - to work properly, however, at this time, the display / the machine.

Porthole: is a nice size, the front still provided with tinted Plexiglas (good vision protection), door locks good one, parental control against a closing of the door is manually adjusted at the door latch and it is a panel Parental control be programmed.
In addition, generally for each wash load additional rinse cycles are programmed "always + 2 z. B.".

Volume: basically silent, the washing is not audible, hurls "relatively" quiet (73 dB), even at high spin speed, the pump volume is felt a little louder than the spin.
Meanwhile, after 5 months of use, I find that hurls louder than at the beginning (you can hear now from the basement in the apartment above).

Beep at the end of the program can be deactivated.

Negatives
========
Fluff filter / water outlet at the pump door: is accessible from the front near the bottom, but without drain hose. You have to put on the floor a very flat, large vessel (z. B. drip pan from stove) so that water on the opening of Pumpensiebs can run into the vessel. It can easily run beside water and the soil is wet. Here AEG could still mitliefern a suitable sloping collecting vessel or, even better, install a retractable hose.

The inscription is difficult to read when you stand in front of the washer and top hinguckt (black writing on stainless steel panel), bending down to read the program descriptions is necessary.

Result:
========
Washing performance: so far with compact powder in the low temperature range (up to 40 degrees) is not satisfactory, otherwise okay; Wool program has delivered on a when-wool wash with liquid detergent clean results.
Wash time: is considerably longer relatively to older machines in conventional programs. The ECO programs also take longer again.
Spin speed / remaining moisture: laundry comes relatively dry from the drum (enclosed machine label contains the spin class A, contrary to the product online. A B; lt Service has changed the assessment policy for spin class for production, so now A proper spin class name is). The laundry literally glued firmly to the drum. Here one overlooks the easier times a sock.

Program choices: very extensive - as used by me but then the usual programs with exceptions
Volume: low to medium
Capacity: large
Service of AEG: fast and efficient.

As my 12 year old privilege (Energy efficiency class A) clean and wash quickly had, I give only 3 Stars.
