Hello! Eugene is with you again, and we continue to get acquainted with the brands of washing machines. Today, my attention was attracted by the AEG washing machine (I still have not picked up a new machine, so I am interested in all available brands). To understand whether to buy such equipment, I decided to figure out everything - what kind of company, who is the manufacturer, what offers and which models are the best. Of course, I share my thoughts with readers of the best portal about home appliances in Runet. Let's go, I promise not to bore you much!
AEG - what brand, where are the washers collected?
Everyone knows about AEG as a German company, but on the official websites of the company about this in the section "About Us"Nothing is said - German surnames, cities appear in history, but I did not meet a clear concept of" German assembly ". What is the matter? Turning to the national source of information - Wikipedia, I found out what was happening. The company really was based in Germany before the First World War, but the original company does not exist today. So, the AEG brand is used today by the Swedish company Electrolux, as well as a group of Chinese companies Techtronic Industries (but in the PRC they only make AEG power tools, so this is not our case).
Who is the manufacturer of AEG washing machines - Germany or Sweden? The Electrolux equipment is produced in a number of countries of the world: Sweden, Italy, Hungary, Spain, France, Romania, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, the USA, Brazil, Ukraine, the Russian Federation and others. Therefore, your "German" machine in the best case may be Italian or French, in the worst - the assembly of the CIS. To reliably verify where a specific AGR is made, you need to look at the information sticker or marking on the case.
What conclusions can be drawn?
- This is not a Chinese machine, although I am friendly to certain brands of Asian technology - once.
- For the Russian market, washers are collected “at home” or in the countries of Eastern Europe (this option is preferable) - two.
- The German quality is in doubt, but the price for the German brand, by itself, is wound up - three.
But this does not mean that cars are bad and expensive - you need to find out what is special about them, what advantages and innovations are in the best designs, and most importantly, what customers think about their acquisitions. I propose to figure this out further.
Features of AEG washing machines
65% of the assortment is ordinary front-end cars, the rest are with vertical loading. This is very good - there is plenty to choose from for any buyer. Narrow, compact and semi-automatic SMA are not on sale. Features:
- Minimum load from 5 kg. There are drums that hold more than 9 kg of laundry.
- Spin speed, depending on the price category of equipment - from 800 to 1400 revolutions per minute and above.
- There are about a dozen on sale washer-dryer with integrated dryer.
- More than 10 models have steam wash.
- Such a useful option as quick wash, 90% of the assortment has it - only the cheapest washing machines do not have this opportunity.
- Almost 30% of the cars in the range are equipped inverter motor - and this is an indicator of solidity.
- The vast majority of SMs (73 out of 81) are equipped display, which displays information on the modes, errors and tips.
- Only 1 car has such a "bun" as drum light.
- All cars, except the most inexpensive, have all types of protection - from leaks, from foaming, as well as imbalance control. Child protection provided in 60% of the AGR, and surge protection - only 2 cars.
- Energy classes: A, A + and A ++, but most of all modern economical options with A +++ class (34 models).
- Spin Classes. Only one machine presses extremely unimportantly (class D), with class C 7 options are supplied, the rest have high classes B and A.
- Noisiness. All cars are noisy - it's constant. But some more, others less. The quietest are those that operate in a quiet mode of 50–55 dB. AEG has no such proposals - the noise level of its products is from 61 to 75 dB and higher. So, 70–75 dB in everyday life is comparable to noisy conversation, laughter. But do not worry, this will only bother you during the spin cycle, and when washing, the appliance should be quiet.
- ¾ models in height reach 81–85 cm, and only a fourth of the assortment is above 85 cm. Keep this in mind if you want to hide the washer under the countertop.
- Buttons are provided on almost all typewriters, and only 4 options have touch pad.
- Price. The cost starts from 20 000 rubles - these are budget options. More expensive. The most expensive ones cost 121,000 rubles and more.
Here is what we have at first glance. It seems to me that there is where to roam. Not so long ago, I did a review of Chinese Hyer: the choice was not so extensive, but the prices were not so “biting". Now we turn to the analysis of characteristics and customer reviews - this should finally clarify the picture.

Vertical washing machine AEG
If you have little space in the apartment, and the built-in building does not fit, you can buy vertical equipment. Not everyone likes this type of hull due to the lack of a beautiful hatch, but experts have long recognized that such washers are more reliable and durable. Consider the most popular model.
LTX 7ER272
Very stylish car, compact and even with a display.
The manufacturer took care of both the design and the filling, hence the price - from 51,212 rubles.
- Spin speed: 1200 rpm.
- Energy Efficiency Class: A +++.
- Depth: 60 cm.
- Loading: up to 7 kg.
- Noisiness: 77 dB.
- Water consumption: 46 liters.
- Spin Class: B.
- Dimensions HxWxD: 89x40x60 cm.
- Main modes (10 programs): Delicate, Economic, Night, Jeans, Down, Fast, Steam.
- In addition: additional loading of linen.
There are no reviews for the model, but I, as the former owner of a vertical machine, which worked faithfully for 12 years, I will say that this is a good option. Economical, functional, small, stylish - I like it, no doubt. Still (again, from experience) I will say that it is easier to disassemble, repair, move the vertical SMA, you can dock the laundry and stop washing at any time. For those who always forget documents and small things in their pockets - this is an invaluable solution.
The result. In every review, customers praise the Italian assembly - this is the main plus of all models. As for the price, functionality, capabilities - AEG has options for every taste and budget. I hope my tips will help you when choosing. Ask, comment, share your impressions!
