The display was somewhat daunting at first but the book provides a clear explanation. Excellent wash results, not my first AEG and will not be the last.

Love the features of the machine especially the steam function and super fast 1600 spin which cuts down on drying time, added to that the manufacturers 5 year warranty which makes this machine excellent value if spread over the lifetime, hence the title.

This machine replaced a Hoover machine that had finally given up the ghost, and I was looking for something more upmarket. Having reviewed a number of different makes and models, I settled on this one because of the name and the features, being particularly keen to try out the anti-crease feature.Pluses are the large capacity, the quiet operation, the spin speed and the clear display. Accessing some of the features through the touch screen is a bit fiddly, and the drawer for the soap / fabric softener could feel more robust and have a smoother action. The steam has helped with my time spent on ironing, but it''s not perfect - though that could just be me getting used to it.All in all, happy with this machine, and I would recommend to others

Am blown away by the sheer quality of this machine, only used it a couple of times and not used even a quarter of it''s functions but am very impressed, and talk about quiet! Can hardly hear it when in use, if anyone is considering this make and model ... Don''t ... just buy it you will NOT be disappointed!

I bought this washing machine after I bought oven and fridge from AEG. Never been happier. I have tried many other brands in the past when I lived in rent. I can say that AEG is quality.

Great machine. Only improvement would be if pump out & fast spin were quieter.

Excellent washing machine with a large drum ,able to wash duvets ,blankets and curtains,with a good variety of washing cycles covering all our laundry.Have been using AEG appliances for years because of the quality and reliability.

Having spent a lot of time researching and looking at premium machines (LG, Samsung, Miele) this offered the best features at the right price. I am very pleased to be able to wash clothes in 20-30 mins, with great results. I like the steam function - it really does cut down on ironing but you should hang/fold straight out the machine. My whites are a lot whiter now with this new machine.Downside- only 1600 spin on cotton wash. I get around this by finishing off the wash as ‘spin only’ and selecting 1600 but you can’t do this with steam washes as it would crease again!Steam function only available on a couple of washes as part of the cycle, but can be selected on its own afterwards.Touch buttons are very sensitive and can be pressed too many times by mistake taking ages to cycle round chosen spin or temp.Overall all I highly recommend this machine. It is virtually silent and don’t know it’s on sometimes!I now enjoy laundry!!
