How to choose an AEG washing machine that suits your home
AEG washers, sold under the Lavamat heritage and grouped into the 6000, 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series, share a focus on gentle drum action and clear programme labelling. The right pick comes down to capacity, spin, whether you want it to disappear behind a cabinet door, and which care features you'll actually use week to week. Read More...
Which capacity matches your weekly wash routine?
An AEG 7kg washing machine handles singles or couples doing lighter, more frequent loads. An AEG 8kg washing machine is the everyday workhorse for two to three people. An AEG 9kg washing machine takes mixed family loads with towels in the same cycle, and an AEG 10kg washing machine adds room for duvets and bedding so you run fewer cycles overall. Pick the smallest size you'll fill most weeks, because part-loaded drums clean less effectively and waste water relative to the wash.
Freestanding or integrated, and what changes day to day?
A freestanding AEG washer is simpler to install and swap out later, and tends to offer the widest spread of capacities and spins. An AEG integrated washing machine sits behind a furniture door so the kitchen line stays uniform; check hinge side and door swing so the appliance door opens fully and the laundry basket clears the plinth. Performance between the two is broadly comparable, the practical differences are install effort and how visible you want the machine to be.
Which AEG features earn their keep?
ProSense load sensing weighs the drum and adjusts water and time, which keeps midweek small washes economical and helps rinsing on heavier loads. ProSteam adds a short low-temperature steam pass at the end of a cycle to relax light creases and freshen lightly worn shirts between full washes. AutoDose, on selected models, meters liquid detergent and softener for the load, useful in hard-water areas where overdosing leaves residue. ProTex drum patterns aim to be gentler on fibres at high spin, worth looking for if you wash a lot of synthetics or wool blends.
How fast a spin do you actually need?
1400 rpm is a sensible default. It pulls enough moisture out of cottons for fast line drying without over-creasing shirts. 1600 rpm, where offered, shortens tumble-dryer time because there's less water for the dryer to evaporate, which trims energy use across the laundry pair. If you mainly hang dry shirts and lightweight synthetics, dropping spin slightly reduces ironing.
Quiet running and energy class
Inverter motors, common across the AEG range, run smoother and quieter at high spin and tend to last longer because there are fewer brushes to wear. Energy class A models cost more upfront but use noticeably less water and electricity per cycle, which adds up over a ten-year life. Check stated dB figures if the washer sits within earshot of a living room or bedroom.
Install checks worth doing before you order
Confirm depth with hoses fitted, not the brochure depth, so the door clears adjacent units. Make sure the cold-feed tap is reachable for servicing, the standpipe height matches the manual, and there's a 13A socket within reach without an extension lead. Remove transit bolts before first use and level all four feet so the drum balances cleanly at full spin.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you wash a lot of shirts, work uniforms or lightly worn knitwear, ProSteam earns its place because a short refresh cycle relaxes creases and odours without a full wash. If most of your laundry is towels, bedding and heavy cottons, the gain is smaller and you may not use it weekly. It's a feature that suits wardrobes more than linen cupboards.
Higher Series numbers generally bring more advanced load sensing, quieter motors, more programme options and finer dosing control. The 6000 Series covers solid everyday washing. The 7000 Series adds ProSteam and ProSense on most models. The 8000 Series and 9000 Series introduce AutoDose and finer fabric care programmes. Match Series to which features you'll genuinely use, rather than the highest number on principle.
AutoDose meters liquid detergent and softener based on load weight and selected cycle, so you stop overdosing on small washes. That matters in hard-water areas and for sensitive skin, because excess detergent rinses out poorly and leaves residue in the drum and on fabrics. You refill the tank every few weeks rather than dosing each load.
Yes, provided you use the dedicated wool or delicates programme and load only what that cycle is rated for. The extra drum space gives fabrics room to tumble freely rather than rub against each other, which is gentler on fine fibres. The bigger drum is an advantage on small loads, not a drawback.
AEG sits in the upper-mid tier for build quality, with inverter motors and ProTex drums designed for ten-year-plus service when looked after. The biggest reliability factor in any washer is user habit: monthly drum-clean cycles, wiping the door seal, leaving the drawer and door ajar between washes, and not overloading. Skipped maintenance shortens the life of any brand.
Most AEG integrated models follow the standard 60cm wide build for UK fitted kitchens, with a sliding-hinge furniture door fixing kit. Confirm hinge side, door weight rating and clearance for the laundry basket before ordering. If the kitchen was built around a previous integrated washer, replacing like for like is usually straightforward.
E20 points to a drainage problem, the machine can't pump water out within the expected time. The usual culprits are a blocked pump filter, a kinked drain hose, or a clogged standpipe. Cleaning the filter monthly prevents most callouts. If the code persists after the filter and hose are clear, the drain pump itself may need replacing.
