First AEG product we've owned and will probably not be our last. A simple but elegant design, as tumble dryers go, with a clear interface and a combination of traditional dial and touch screen modernity. Very user friendly and offers a variety of useful functions. It holds decent capacity and is seemingly energy efficient with its A+++ rating, I guess time and bills will tell. In terms of noise it isn't the quietest but neither is it too loud. I'm experimenting to see how long I need to run a cycle for, depending on content and quantity of clothing I have in there, but also discovering I have too many jumpers that cannot be tumble dried. Small price to pay for the ease and convenience of having a tumble dryer, especially as it reduces the moisture in the home and makes me wonder how I managed without it before. And this AEG machine offers a great introduction to it and drying clothes with this machine has now transformed a chore into a joy.
