If you buy a machine without first familiarizing yourself with all the pros and cons, you risk simply throwing your money away. So it’s better to spend 5-10 minutes reading the article than to buy another washing machine later.
Where are AEG washing machines made?
This question is asked by many buyers and owners of washing machines of this brand.There is simply no clear answer to this question on the Internet. The company itself dates back to the First World War. If, by going to the official website, you hope to clarify the situation at least a little, then you will be completely disappointed. The “About Us” section doesn’t say a word about the history of this brand. There are many German surnames, and the conclusion suggests itself: why then is there no “German assembly” inscription on the product itself or at least some hint of German origin?
It's still a little more complicated, but where can it go? Once again turning to the Internet, you can find out that the AEG brand is just part of the famous Swedish brand Electrolux. So where does this brand come from? All products that are manufactured under the Electrolux logo can in fact be produced in a number of European countries, you can read more on Wikipedia. So it all depends, roughly speaking, on the luck of the buyer. The washing mashine may also come from Italy, and if fortune was not on the buyer’s side, then from the CIS. All this can be found out by the serial number, which is indicated on the product itself. Before purchasing, it is better to read in more detail about this number and clearly find out for yourself which country you want to get a washing machine from.
Features of AEG washing machines
Thanks to all of the above, we can draw some conclusions about washing machines that are produced under the AEG logo. Firstly, about some ambiguity. You can't just go to the store and buy it. It is not a fact that it will be made in France and will be of good quality.Maybe it was collected in some “makeshift” conditions in local basements in your city and is now being sold at exorbitant prices? Of course, the situation is a little exaggerated, but low-quality products produced in the CIS still exist.
Secondly, let's move on to the assortment. A pleasant surprise awaits the ordinary buyer here. About 65% of all products are simple front-facing washing machines, which we are used to seeing in ordinary “networks”. The rest of the machines are vertical loading. Anyone can choose a washing machine that is suitable for themselves.
Thirdly, prices for washing machines of this brand start from 20 thousand rubles. It may be cheaper on the used market. The most expensive washing machine of this brand costs about 121 thousand rubles.
Another feature of this brand: the standard sizes of the washing machines produced. Now this is worth a lot, because... Many brands like to “stand out” from the crowd and produce household appliances of non-standard sizes. Because of this, both buyers suffer, who cannot find a convenient place for this equipment in their home, and manufacturers, because many do not dare to buy “non-standard” household appliances.
The most important advantage of washing machines produced under this brand is their quality.
Advantages and disadvantages of AEG washing units
We've talked about the features, now we can move on to the pros/cons. To begin with, it is worth noting the advantages:
- A wide range of. Each buyer will be able to choose exactly the washing mashine that suits his apartment/house, and most importantly, his budget. Here we can talk about the division into “classes”. There are budget ones and there are expensive ones. Even the most fastidious buyers will not be able to complain about a poor selection of models.
- Test of time.Good washing machines can last at least 50 years. And if we talk about those, then the AEG brand is right there. It is rare to see a few negative reviews, mostly people only comment on the durability of these machines and their resistance to wear and tear. The company itself has been on the market for more than 130 years, and, of course, many people have noted its high wear resistance.
- No noise during operation. Yes, any washing machine is a little noisy. But you should understand that some washing mashines make noise like a tractor in a field, and some make almost no sounds. Most models of this brand belong to type 2. With rare exceptions among the inexpensive and most budget models for +- 20 thousand rubles. So your neighbors will be grateful to you for purchasing an AEG washing machine.
- Design. Of course, this is not the main criterion for choosing a washing machine, and many now thought to themselves: “I don’t care about the design at all.” But still, you must agree that it is better to buy a washing machine that will please the eye and fit into the interior of the bathroom or kitchen, and will not be a “black sheep” there.
- Reviews. Where does a person look first when buying new household appliances? Of course, he goes to popular sites where people express their opinions about a particular product and share their experience of using it. AEG has a majority of positive reviews across all platforms. After doing a little research, we can conclude that these are reviews from real customers, and not from some bots. This makes you love the brand even more.
Criteria for choosing a washing machine
Now we come to the most important thing. What do you need to know and what should you focus on when choosing a washing machine?
First you need to decide: vertical/frontal.Some criteria depend on this, which will be discussed in more detail in subsequent paragraphs. By choosing a top-loading option, you instantly lose the opportunity to buy a washing machine with a large capacity. This is the main disadvantage of such models.
Now let's move on to another, no less important criterion - the budget. Based on your budget, you will consider possible options, and you immediately need to decide in what price category you will look for washing machines. It’s better not to save too much and buy a “washing machine” for at least 30 thousand rubles. This will help you avoid many troubles: constant breakdowns, lack of necessary parts for repairs from craftsmen, and loud noise during washing. Most often, cheap washing machines have poor functionality, lack of special washing modes, etc. It’s better to pay a decent amount once, rather than go broke every month on fixing minor breakdowns.
Next we look at capacity. As mentioned above, vertical washing machines are not suitable for a large family, because... they have a small capacity. For a large family, a washing machine with a capacity of 7+ kg is perfect. For a smaller family, 4-5 kg is enough. But still, this point is individual, if you live alone and like to put off washing until the last minute, and then load several kg, then it is better to take a machine with a large capacity.
Then we turn our attention to functionality. Determine for yourself which features are most needed. Maybe you have a lot of clothes that require delicate washing? The “Delayed Start” function will also come in handy. Don’t forget about “child protection” if you live in a family with one or more children. The drying function is great for people who are always in a hurry.Now you don't have to wait several days for your clothes to dry. Immediately after washing, it will be only slightly damp and can be worn without any problems.
You can read more about the functions of washing machines in additional sources and then decide which ones you need. On special catalog sites (for example, Yandex.Market) it will be possible to set search criteria and exclude washing machines without these functions. You can also set the necessary price filter there.
Top 6 best models of AEG front-loading washing machines
The most popular type of washing machine is the front-loading one. Many Russians now have exactly these models in their bathrooms. So let's start with them.
The hatch on such washing machines is located on the front. This is convenient if you have a lot of space in your bathroom, but is clearly not suitable for very small baths. The hatch is usually transparent, and a person can calmly watch the laundry being washed and interrupt the process at any time if something does not go as planned. To load laundry, you need to bend down or squat; this option is definitely not suitable for older people.
AEG L 6FBI48 S
An excellent choice for large families whose cute children manage to ruin a bunch of clothes in a week and have to wash them, as well as for those who simply like to throw a lot of laundry into the machine. This washing machine is so spacious that customers rarely need to wash several times in a row. There is full touch control, which is now often added to washing mashines, and good noise reduction. Even if you do laundry at three in the morning, the neighbors won't hear anything.The only negative is the high market price, but for good quality you can overpay a little, but there will be no constant trips to the master. This is a personal matter for everyone.
AEG AMS 7500 I
Forget about laundry that is always unwashed or completely overdried. This washing machine has become famous in the market as the highest quality washing machine. There are no touch buttons here, but there are the usual mechanical ones. They do their job quite well and no one complains. Very nice design, so the machine will look good in any room. Not a work of art, but the designers clearly tried. The price, although not particularly low, is definitely worth paying extra for the quality.
AEG AMS 7000 U
We talked about the expensive washing machines that are on the market, but what about simple, budget washing machines that even a young family can afford? Now we have reached them. This model was made specifically for poor families, but nothing was cut in terms of quality. It absorbs noise well when washing, has low water consumption, and is fully protected against leaks, but this does not mean that you should leave it unattended and go to the movies all day. Of the minuses: slightly reduced functionality and the inability to create your own program.
AEG L 8WBC61 S
An excellent option for people who are always in a hurry to get somewhere. Thanks to drying, immediately after washing the laundry will be dry and ready for use. Another plus worth noting is the complete absence of vibrations during washing, which makes this washing machine very stable. The unit also has a wide selection of washing programs. So everyone can customize this machine exactly for themselves. The cost will also pleasantly surprise you: from 65 thousand rubles on Yandex.Market.Now let's talk about the disadvantages: the control menu is not Russified at all, so you will have to operate the machine either at random or learn English. Many buyers note that the touch controls work poorly, although at this price it should work perfectly.
AEG L 9WBC61 B
This washing machine can hold about 10 kg of clothes to wash. An excellent option for large families. The advantages of this model: energy efficiency, noise reduction, large load and a wide variety of programs and functions. An ideal opportunity to wash your favorite items and preserve their beauty. Cons: high price for the average buyer and built-in noise reduction, which does not cope with drying and spinning. You can literally hear everything.

It copes with even the most difficult fabrics that require special care. Capacity is about 8 kg, enough for an ordinary family, and there will even be room left. Huge functionality that copes with any difficulties. The price will be affordable for an ordinary buyer.
Top 6 best models of AEG top-loading washing equipment
Now we can talk about top-loading models. They are not so popular, but they also have their customers. Excellent for small spaces and for people with disabilities, because... When loading a vertical washing machine, there is no need to bend over; the hatch is at the same height as a person.
AEG LTX 7ER272
This is probably the most popular model of top-loading washing machines. It is in no way inferior to its analogues, even touch controls are present, but the capacity is slightly below average and amounts to 7 kg.The design will delight lovers of modern technology and will fit into any room. There is no need to worry about functionality either: there are many programs available that can wash any items without deteriorating their quality. Everyone can find a suitable washing program. The only negative is the price. It seems to be small for washing machines, but among front-facing analogues you can find better options. But this is a personal matter for each buyer.
AEG 56106TL
Another popular top-loading washing machine that will delight the buyer with a capacity of up to 6 kg. This is quite enough for an ordinary person who lives alone or even with a small family.

A fairly high spin speed and the presence of noise reduction make this washing machine an indispensable assistant for any housewife.
AEG LTX7CR562
One of the most expensive washing machines presented in this selection. Yandex.Market tells us the average price is 86-87 thousand rubles, but it’s clearly worth it. Especially when the buyer pays attention to the wide functionality of this model. But since the price is very high, it is worth noting those functions that other models do not have. What about the steam function? It makes clothes even softer after washing and avoids rapid wear. The noise level during washing is significantly below average, and this allows the buyer not to worry about washing at any time of the day.
AEG LTX6GR371
It stands out from the gray mass of its competitors with its rather large capacity.You can load about 7 kg of clothes into it, and it will wash every sock elegantly. Another advantage is the very low energy consumption during the washing process. Forget about huge energy bills after your next wash. It is also worth noting the presence of leakage protection. The most popular disadvantages noted by buyers: the presence of a whistle during the spin cycle (this does not happen often, but a couple of times a month for sure) and the high cost. Although the manufacturer has added some additional functions, this does not justify the price of +- 68 thousand rubles. It was worth working out a few details that spoil the overall impression.
AEG LTX6GR261
A practical washing machine that will fit into any interior. Let's immediately move on to the advantages that most buyers of this model talk about: there is a function for reloading laundry during the washing process, and you will no longer have to wash it several times due to forgetfulness. The unit contains 10 built-in programs (people are especially pleased with the program made specifically for removing stains).

There are simply no negative aspects to this model, especially for such a price.If you are looking for a washing machine that is both inexpensive and functional, then this is the ideal option.
Conclusion
We looked at many models of washing machines from the AEG brand and were convinced of the wide range. Although there are much fewer budget options than for the middle class and premium, they do exist. The quality is quite acceptable, and if you want to buy a washing machine “once and for all,” then you should pay attention to this brand. It has long been established in the washing machine market and is successfully gaining the trust of new customers around the world.
Of the main advantages of all models, it is worth noting the Italian assembly. Yes, it is not available in every city, and there is some probability that you will get a model that was assembled in the CIS, but all this can be perfectly checked before purchasing.
Of course, not all models assembled in Russia or Belarus will be of poor quality, but it is better to protect yourself from possible breakdowns and study in detail the information on each specific model and its serial number.
The company itself has been on the market for more than 130 years, and no serious incidents have happened, so there is no need to worry about safety. Every person who decided to purchase a washing machine of this particular brand and paid his own money for it will never be left broke. Therefore, it is better not to save money by buying some unknown brands, but to “splurge” a little and get a really high-quality product that will delight you for a long time. This is one of the main advantages of AEG.
