It is also worth noting that the company’s developers have patented a polymer tank, which is of very high quality, because it is light in weight and has noise-absorbing properties.

But there are also some disadvantages of these washing machines, namely:

• high price, which becomes an obstacle to such a purchase;
• expensive spare parts;
• plastic tank on some models.

According to the manufacturer, the average service life of AEG equipment is 10 years.

A little about the company

The name itself is translated from German as “General Electric. This company was founded at the end of the 19th century and at first specialized not only in household goods, but also in the production of weapons, mechanical engineering and electrical power. The company owes its existence to Emil Rathenau, who acquired a patent for the production of electric lamps in Germany and opened a small society of researchers in Berlin. Two years later, large-scale production of light bulbs began.

Gradually, the company expanded its scope of activity: in addition to lighting devices, electric motors, railways, cars, cables and much more appeared. Only after the war in the 50s did AEG begin producing household appliances - the first washing machine called Lavamat appeared in 1958.

But, starting in the 70s of the twentieth century, the company began to have problems. Ineffective management, failed and expensive projects led to the company being closed in 1996, and its factories were gradually sold to other companies. In 2007, the washing machine plant was closed. Today the AEG brand is used by the Swedish Electrolux.

High functionality and ease of use

Attention! The same name is used by the Chinese Techtronic Industries, which specialize in power tools.

Today, washing machines of different designs are coming to Russia: Italian (applies to front-loading models and with drying), Polish or French (top-loading models).

Ask a Question

Their advantage is their height, so children will not be able to reach the control panel, and there are also models that have the ability to operate almost silently. Washing in these products is carried out at a very high level.

The main feature of the AEG “verticals” is their small size (40 cm wide), which makes it possible to use them in small rooms. So, if you need to choose an expensive washing machine, then the AEG brand can not only be considered, but also necessary, since the manufacturer guarantees the high quality of the product. And even if they have their drawbacks, a perpetual motion machine still does not exist.

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...

Reviews of top-loading washing machines

AEG vertical washing machines also receive excellent reviews. The lineup is filled with interesting items. For example, consider the inexpensive device L 60260 TL. You can buy it for an average of 25 thousand rubles. For this money, the user gets an excellent washing machine with a spacious tank - up to 6 kg. Moreover, we note that this did not affect the dimensions. The device has a small width - only 40 cm. Users say that this model can be installed even in the smallest bathroom. What else did you like about this machine? First of all, an efficient spin cycle (1200 rpm) and a high wash class (A). What about economy? Reviews from owners indicate that this model allowed them to reduce, and significantly, costs for electricity (A+) and water (45 l). Achieving such efficient resource consumption was made possible thanks to the implemented OptiSense option.

There is another interesting model in the arsenal of this manufacturer - AEG L 76260 TL. This washing machine from AEG is also not offended by reviews. Most buyers paid attention to it because of its very valuable function. We are talking about steam treatment. Considering that you can purchase the device for only 25-30 thousand rubles, this functionality can be safely called ideal. The owners also noticed another technology - Protex Plus. What is it for? Thanks to this option, any fabric, even the thinnest, will never become deformed during washing, since the process itself is very gentle. In terms of efficiency parameters, this device suits the most demanding customers. Despite the fact that steam processing is implemented here, electricity is consumed quite economically (A++) - approximately 180 kW/h will be spent per year.

AEG - what brand is it, where are washing machines assembled?

Everyone knows about the AEG company as a German company, but on the official websites of the company nothing is said about this in the “About Us” section - German names and cities appear in the history, but I have not come across a clear concept of “German assembly”. What's the matter? Turning to the popular source of information - Wikipedia, I found out what was what. The company was indeed founded in Germany before the First World War, but the original enterprise no longer exists today. Thus, the AEG trademark is today used by the Swedish company Electrolux, as well as by a group of Chinese companies Techtronic Industries (but only AEG power tools are made in China, so this is not our case).

Who is the manufacturing country of AEG washing machines - Germany or Sweden? Electrolux equipment is produced in a number of countries around the world: Sweden, Italy, Hungary, Spain, France, Romania, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, USA, Brazil, Ukraine, Russia and others. Therefore, your “German” car, at best, may turn out to be Italian or French, at worst, a CIS assembly. To reliably verify where a particular SMA was 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 have a friendly attitude towards certain brands of Asian equipment - once again.
• For the Russian market, washing machines are assembled “at home” or in Eastern European countries (this option is preferable) - two.
• German quality is in doubt, but the price for a German brand, of course, is inflated - three.

But this does not mean that the 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 buyers think about their purchases. I suggest we look into this further.
