We bought this to replace a dryer Bauknecht dryer, which was dead, after 2.5 years (!). With us, the dryer runs only in winter about 3 times a week, so that the extra cost for a heat pump dryer is not worthwhile. The dryer makes a very high-quality impression, has a huge drum and runs very quietly. Unfortunately, however, the laundry is not dry, 6 kg of cotton underwear, spun at 1400 rpm, weighs after the "Cotton Extra Dry" program in 7 kg and thus contains 1 l of residual water. The Electrolux service was 3x as first a software update has been installed, then turned another technician determines that the drum is not reversed (while the moisture is measured) and exchanged at the 3rd visit the complete electronics. Unfortunately, all these measures have not solved the lack: the laundry will not dry. The moisture sensors are located under the fill opening and may not capture the entire drum contents, also we have very hard water, which probably distorts the measurement. Fortunately, Amazon takes the device after 5 months without hesitation back. We have now opted for a Miele-action model (with PerfectDry) and can not recommend the AEG-dryer.
