After 18 years with the old AEG washing machine we dare again with this company. The new purchase would not necessarily have to be, if not the clips of a driver in the washing drum would have been canceled and so the laundry has been torn a regular basis. The AEG spare parts for expensive around EUR 30, - is so "awesome" designed one would expand the drum to screw from behind the driver, where once a single click from within was possible. A task that has proven for a hobby mechanic as possible (bearing pull etc.) and would have been unaffordable for a professional. So now the new. So far, she does everything to the fullest satisfaction. Only the washing times have to previously extended by up to 1 hour in comparison, but that is probably now so general standard, although the electric power has remained the same. 4 stars because of the expensive spare parts, which we hope will not need in the future.
