... And, as a cherry on the 55-month warranty .... yes because Christmas is already in July ;-) For reasons of space, I have to the washing machine are in my kitchen, because of course one wishes a quiet possible device. I AEG Lavamat L5.5FL although only for 3 days in use, but I'm already absolutely convinced, barely audible a sound, a dream! Very good, I also think the time save button as can be for many programs the wash time significantly reduce, for example, I have my pillow at 40 degrees sometimes just can wash in 34 minutes! So ... who needs a new washing machine, which I would never discourage the purchase of this machine!
