Manufacturer of washing machines AEG: country of production and assembly in other regions

s3

AEG is one of the oldest companies in the world, producing power tools for over 130 years. For almost a century and a half, customers trust this manufacturer, follow its new products and willingly accept innovations. Of course, this speaks about the quality of the product. But not only.

AEG is a recognized leader in the field of industrial design. Its leaders and ideological inspirers sincerely believe that even in the process of work we should be surrounded by beautiful things. After all, beauty is synonymous with functionality. And judging by the dynamics of the company’s development, consumers agree with this.

Production of AEG washing machines

The German manufacturer, under whose brand the world famous AEG washing machine is produced, is distinguished by the reliability and high quality of its equipment. Its products belong to the most expensive segment of household appliances.

AEG literally translates to “Universal Electricity Company”. It was founded in 1883 in Berlin, where electric light bulbs were produced. Later, the plant began to expand and began producing refrigerators, irons, and then steam turbines with electric engines.

The first washing machine was called “Lavamat” and was released back in 1958. In subsequent years the company flourished:

• The first machine with drying - 1964;
• Model with reduced water and powder consumption - 1986.

The 70s were disastrous for the company. In 1994, the Electrolux concern bought the right to produce washing machines, with the condition of maintaining the AEG brand. Poor management and failed projects led to the closure of the AEG plant in 1996. As a result, the cars are assembled in France, Poland, and Italy. However, despite the assembly, the quality remains German. These are washing machines with rich functionality and high quality.

Perfection of form and function

It is this motto that underlies the company's philosophy. Not only has it become a leader in the production of high-performance and user-friendly tools. The AEG brand was one of the first to take the visual presentation of its products as seriously as possible.

One of the fateful moves was the invitation to the company to the position of artistic consultant of the famous specialist in industrial architecture and design P. Behrens. This happened in 1907, and over the next seven years the architectural and design approach was actively introduced into all areas of the company’s activities - from advertising materials and the appearance of tools to the appearance of production buildings. This non-standard approach paid off. It turned out that beautiful things are also extremely functional.

But design was not an end in itself. It turned out that it was profitable to produce visually pleasant and convenient tools - consumers purchased them much more willingly than just mechanisms with a set of functions. It is the special corporate style of products that has become a sign of innovation and technological breakthroughs at AEG.

Company Features

Despite all the advantages of washing equipment from AEG, their washing machines also have disadvantages.

Advantages

• High-class energy efficiency;
• Manufacturer's warranty 10 years;
• Build quality;
• Quiet, almost silent operation;
• Rich functionality for processing any fabric;
• Polymer durable tank;

• Stylish modern design.

Flaws

• The need to order expensive spare parts from the manufacturer during repairs;
• High price;
• In economy class models, the polymer tank is replaced with a plastic one;

• Bearings, pressure switches and drain pumps often break down.

Despite the small number of negative consumer reviews, AEG machines rarely break down, and the 10-year warranty fully justifies the unexpected inconvenience in the event of a malfunction.

Popular models

The following washing machines are the most popular among buyers:

1. "AEG L87695 WD": is a front-loading machine. Despite its small dimensions (60*60*85), it has a large capacity: you can load up to 9 kg of laundry. There is also a drying function, but you can load up to 6-7 kg at a time. It has the most favorable parameters for energy consumption, washing and spinning (all three “A”), and also has complete protection against leaks and against children.

The user is offered 14 types of operating programs, including some special ones: for wool and delicate fabrics, for economical and express washing, there are even functions to prevent wrinkles and steam treatment. There is a timer for delaying washing and a choice of temperature.

Basically, the machine has positive reviews: customers like the large drum volume, thanks to which they can wash bulky bedspreads and blankets, the ability to steam the laundry, and the excellent washing quality. One of the disadvantages is usually a slight noise during drying.

Intelligent care for your favorite clothes

1. “AEG L 85470 SL”: this is a narrower model (dimensions 60*44*85) with front loading. It can hold up to 6.5 kg of laundry, but the model does not provide drying. The device also has protection against leaks and children, high levels of washing and energy consumption, and almost complete absence of noise.

It has 16 washing programs according to types of clothing, including washing jeans and down items, and an anti-allergic mode. However, some users complain about the lack of modes lasting 40-60 minutes: the fastest one can do it in 20 minutes, heating the water to 30 degrees, then you can only choose a wash cycle of 1.5 hours. Also, the disadvantages often include a small tray for washing powder and noise when draining water.

1. “AEG L 56106 TL”: a small model with vertical loading (its parameters are 40*60*89). It can accept up to 6 kg of laundry at a time; there is no drying function. It has high washing classes (“A”) and power consumption (“A++”). But the spin cycle is rated “C”: its speed is only 1000 rpm versus 1600 and 1400 rpm in previous models. The washing powder tray can be removed.

There are several wash programs including wool, denim, delicates, pre-wash and express wash. It is possible to delay the start by 20 hours.

Attention! This model has only partial protection against leaks.

As a disadvantage, some owners point to noticeable vibration during spinning, although others, on the contrary, claim that the machine is completely silent.

1. “AEG L 61470 WDBI”: this is a built-in front-loading machine with a drum capacity of up to 7 kg and “modest” dimensions (60*55*82). The model has a drying function, but only 4 kg can be loaded at a time, otherwise the laundry will remain damp. It has high washing and spin classes (both “A”), but energy consumption is rated “B”. It has complete protection against leaks and children; after the drying cycle, it does not allow you to open the door for the first 10-15 minutes until the laundry has cooled down.

There is a choice of washing programs and temperatures, the machine copes well with different types of fabrics. Some programs allow you to further save electricity.

The disadvantages mainly include large temperature adjustment steps (it is not possible to set 50 or 70 degrees), as well as severe jamming of laundry if the drum was completely filled during drying.

Today, AEG is not a German company with a century-old history, but one of the Electrolux brands, under which the latter produce washing machines. The quality of their equipment remains consistently high, which is confirmed by positive reviews and a long warranty period given by the manufacturers themselves. Despite the rather high price, the AEG models fully justify it.

Assembly of washing machines in other countries

Unlike most companies involved in the production of household appliances, AEG management does not rely on exporting production to other countries, but attracts highly qualified foreign specialists to work at its enterprises at the headquarters of Stuttgart.

Washing machines of this brand are not assembled in China or Russia. They are produced either in Germany, or in Italy, or in Poland. And since high quality in production is expensive, the prices for the company’s products have always been high.

In Poland, and more specifically in the city of Krakow, 30% of the total assembly of the company’s cars is concentrated. The entire production process is accompanied by strict quality control of products by qualified specialists. Interestingly, the latest models with modern features and premium technologies are produced in Poland.

In addition to reliability and functionality, AEG equipment is also considered the quietest among the machines available on the market, which makes it extremely popular. The level of sound produced during operation is no higher than 15 dB. In addition, they have the most reliable drying systems installed, which is the norm for this brand.

Consumer Reviews

If you fill the wash with one sheet or small items, it starts to jump. We installed it level and on gel stands, it’s useless at 1000 rpm, it tears clothes. When we bought it and installed it, we did everything according to the instructions, washed it with products so that there would be no factory grease when washing It’s been almost two years since I’ve been doing laundry, and if I forget to reduce the speed, all the clothes have black polka dots and are torn in these places, especially knitted sheets.

LyudmilaAEG AMS7000U

I'm very pleased with the machine. This is the best purchase in recent years. Laundry is washed perfectly, without additional funds or effort. The drum spins at 1400 rpm. better than the previous one at 1600. It may seem like there are few functions, but you don’t need more! The machine weighs itself and determines the duration of the wash. I repeat once again, laundry can be added any time after the start of the “washing” stage. It is very comfortable!

AnnaAEG L7WBG47WR

Very compact. Just what you need for a small bathroom. It washes perfectly. For very difficult stains there is a stain removal mode. Only thanks to him was it possible to revive my husband’s work uniform. I also like that you can reduce the washing time. I use this trick on not very dirty things.

NadezhdaAEG L574270SL

I really liked the machine, it worked every day for 1-2 washes. After 2.5 years the bearing began to hum. It turned out that the tank is not collapsible (soldered). Changing the oil seal and bearings is problematic, and the tank and drum assembly is expensive! We didn’t expect such a trick from a reputable manufacturer at a decent price. Before this one, there were 2 machines, the washing intensity was a little less, but they are still working for their parents (one is more than 12 years old, the other is more than 7 years old), they were repaired in small ways...

What are the brand's products?

Today Electrolux, under the name AEG, provides the opportunity to buy a washing machine in any known price category. But you should know that in each segment these products are among the most expensive.

The reason for this is the decent quality of each assembled unit. That is, even entry-level products are not an economical option, since they have sufficient capabilities for high-quality washing and a long service life.

Today, the range of AEG machines is traditionally wide and includes almost 5 dozen models. This allows you to satisfy the needs of different categories of potential buyers.

Washing machines produced under the AEG brand are among the best-selling in Europe, although the concern of the same name no longer exists

Although the manufacturer has more than enough variety, it is quite easy to understand the technical characteristics of the products. Since all units belonging to any price category have a set of basic functions.

They differ only in some important or minor features that can make any model more or less the best option for the buyer.

For example, the L61260 and L71260 models, considered budget, have the same dimensions and a number of other basic characteristics (loading, spin speed, control, etc.). But the first product has an energy consumption class of A++, and the second is an order of magnitude more economical and belongs to A+++.

As a result, a more power-hungry car costs 7-8% less, but during operation the owner’s expenses will be significantly higher.

The AEG L73060SL model is a typical entry-level model, but even it can satisfy the needs of most consumers

And there are many such nuances, so a potential buyer should decide on the necessary characteristics in advance and choose the best option.
