AEG top loader: Consumer tips
Narrow dimensions and thoughtful features with the best energy efficiency – this is what AEG Top Loaders stand for. Often referred to as top loaders, these washing machines fit into small niches or gaps thanks to their width of usually 40 centimetres. However, savings are only in the dimensions: in terms of functionality, AEG top loaders can easily compete with conventional washing machines. They are priced in the mid-range at around 400 to 900 pounds.
The most important features of AEG Lavamat top loaders
If you choose a top loader among AEG washing machines, you benefit from the same innovative technologies as with the front loaders of the manufacturer. The only difference is the space-saving design, which makes top loaders attractive for those who want to fit a washing machine into a small space. The AEG Lavamat top loaders, all of which meet the criteria of the highest energy efficiency class A+++, clean and care for your laundry with the following functions while being gentle on both textiles and the environment:
- Aqua-Control Hose:
- Thanks to this, the fear of water damage is unfounded. A valve in the double-walled inlet hose prevents the inflow of additional water in case of a noticeable water level.
- ProSense® Technology:
- This is a load sensing system. Sensors in the AEG washing machine automatically adjust the washing time according to the load size. The top loader thus saves water and electricity.
- ProSteam® Technology
- Thanks to this, the laundry comes out of the drum (almost) wrinkle-free, due to a steam addition at the end of the wash cycle. In a separate steam programme, you can also refresh your clothes in no time.
- ÖKOMix Technology:
- This ensures that detergent and fabric softener dissolve completely and distribute evenly. The care agents thus reach all fibres of the textiles.
- ProTex Gentle Drum:
- It guarantees particularly gentle washing. This is due to many small rounded holes in the drum of the AEG top loaders.
Despite their narrow width, a large part of the AEG Lavamat Top Loaders can handle 6 or 7 kg of laundry, which means they are not only suitable for singles but also appeal to 2- to 3-person households.
In addition, the AEG top loaders score with useful features such as a delayed start and offer special programmes for different types of laundry. Besides the usual programmes like cotton or synthetic, you can select programmes tailored for jeans or sportswear. And if you need to wash quickly, the short programme cleans your laundry in just 20 minutes.
AEG Lavamat Top Loaders: How they perform in tests and price comparisons
When the AEG top loaders have to prove their capabilities in tests, they consistently receive good, and in some cases even very good ratings. The washing machines score points mainly with their low consumption as well as the many functions and programmes.
Some users complain in reviews about the operating noise during spinning. In fact, it is slightly above the average values of other manufacturers. However, the washing performance is consistently convincing.
Looking at the price comparisons, they are priced between 400 and 900 pounds in the mid-range. Due to the narrow design, top loaders are usually slightly more expensive than comparable front loaders.
Conclusion
Like the top loaders of other manufacturers, AEG top loader washing machines come with narrow dimensions, making them particularly appealing to people who have little space for a washing machine. Users who have difficulty bending down or squatting also benefit from the top loading design.
