I know this is an old video now but I just bought an AEG L7FEE865R and built like a tank and apparently made in Poland and not some Chinese sweatshop. This is an excellent brand of washer.
I like the way AEG, give the consumer choice and control over the programs.
Love how AEG have been consistently flexible with there wash options over the years, aka being able to washing your clothes on 50c (old textile code, hand hot) and providing you extra rinses. The new line of machines are a delight to see. Great video fella :)

I was glad to see the 50c option on this machine as it was lacking on the two Bosch's I had before. My Mum's Hoover Computer Controll 1100 certainly had it and I think her New Wave did too.
Nice looking machine, reminds me of the Electrolux units that I just bought I like that it has the recirculation pump really helps wet down the clothing and helps clean spraying the water into the laundry.

It's a beautiful new machine Rog!Congratulations and use it well.
Love the 'Keep Calm...' mug!
It doesn’t like small loads and because of the drum system it would not spin. I had to call the Service help line who said that you have to have a full load and I should top the load up with towels. I washed a heavy shower mat and good size bathroom mat, thinking it was bulky load it would be ok but had the same problem. I had to do an emergency door opening. A good machine if you are a family of 3+ or you get through a lot of business shirts and blouses etc each week and have full load washes. For a person on their own or retired couple like us I would suggest finding a machine that doesn’t have this very sensitive drum rotation that prevents half loads. Haven’t used all the programs as I have only had it a week.

I’ve never had a problem with smaller loads, but bath mats are notorious for causing an unbalanced load. I wash my bath mat with my towels and never have a problem and smaller loads such as a few items of sportswear also spin first time.
Is this related to Electrolux because my grandparents have an Electrolux and it’s almost exactly the same exact same beeps exact same sounds it makes exact same method for detecting how much water to put in exact same flap at the back of the drawer except it’s blue but it doesn’t have a stain remover compartment
Great video, also got myself a 8000 Series washer and dryer and I absolutely love them! :)

Why you cut the noise what the machine makes during full speed? That was the main thing I want to know.
Could you do a 1 year follow up review please?
I know they are owned by Electrolux. My sister has an AEG washing washing machine which she has had a lot of problems with. I have had a Candy, a Siemens and two Bosch, all a load of rubbish and nothing but trouble. I have gone back to a twin tub and have just done six loads of washing in about an hour.
Im using a cheap haier 600 bux it heats the water one cold line in the spin cycles are all going one way with front loaders pause option drain and reset if you want to stop a cycle and restart by draining a convenient drain tube. very handy if you want to stop the machine add or remove halfway through. not sure if this model has that option
It's a nice machine, the next model up with the water softener is interesting
i am happy that the prewash returned on elux machines. very interesting machine and another excellent video. keep up the good work
I would like to buy a washing machine, and dish washer too, that have heat pump heat borrowing system from the air of apartment. Also in both types there should be average flow air water vapor condensation drying system. So no drying with warming up drum, just drying and heating air. Why separate drying drums, do not get it. And the drum should be large for preventing unwanted appearance. And outflow water heat should be heat pumped back to apartment air. So in the end, there would be clean nice looking clothes and dishes, and little surplus heat. Also think I, that the drying heat could be so reasonable, that it could be used in various types of garments and fabrics.
What a great review of the AEG washing machine! If you could, can u film all of the spin on the 1600rpm setting please??

Yes, it is pretty normal for the washing machine to be in the kitchen. In larger houses there may be a separate utility room that normally connects to the kitchen to house the laundry appliances. It is illegal to have washing machines in a bathroom in the UK or at least one that is plumbed in and permanently connected to the electricity supply.

Hi there - nice video as usual! I was wondering if you could do a quick test for me - my new AEG seems to have become a little noisy when spinning, it sounds like a bearing is having a problem. If I turn the washer off and I try to spin the drum by hand fast, it stops - as if the motor is counteracting to stop it, but mains is completely disconnected. I'm just wondering whether this may be a kind of expected behaviour for such motors of if my bearings have indeed gone. Cheers for your help!

I have just tried to rotate the drum and it moves freely when rotated slowly. If you try to get the drum to go faster by hand, mine stops also so I don't think there's anything to worry about and it is just a quirk of the brushless motor.

Hi thanks for your video. Just a question to understand the washing detergent compartment. You showed to flip the grey flap over when using liquid detergent and the machine then will hold back until detergent is needed. But if I saw correctly there is a gap on the bottom of the flap isnt the detergent draining through that gap? Thanks in advance for letting me know. Kind regards, Michael
@ibaisaic
7 ай бұрын
Yes, the liquid solution will start to slowly enter the drum when you pour it into the detergent dispenser which is why you can’t use delay start if using a liquid detergent in the drawer. As long as you start the machine as soon as the liquid has been poured into the dispenser it shouldn’t matter. You could use a liquid dispenser that goes into the drum if you think it will be an issue. This model has probably been discontinued by now and AEG may have changed the dispenser drawer in current machines.

7 ай бұрын
When I owned this AEG I always added the liquid detergent when the water started filling the machine. I never used it with the flap closed. Detergent pods would not normally empty their contents to be pumped away during the initial fill stage of the wash. If any detergent spilled out, it would go over the clothes in the drum. This machine is discontinued and the equivalent model has a completely different dispenser drawer that has a section for liquid and detergent pods. I don’t deal with detergent on a daily basis anymore as my current machine automatically introduces the detergent during the wash.
Hi, I ve just come across your channel, and I am very impressed with it. I am currently in need of a new washing machine and can't decide between Aeg 8000( the one u reviewed) or Bosch waw32560gb.

Clothes are slightly damp after spinning at 1600rpm. Not all programmes will spin at 1600 so a separate 1600 spin would have to be selected to get them drier.

How about using a washer that you just set to normal it fills with tons of water and the clothes are done in less than 28 minutes? Get yourself an old washer pre-2006

I have had terrible problems with AEG washing machine and mould in the rubber seal and even inside the drum and nothing eg cleaning, washing with bleach, bicarbonate of soda can fix it. I have never had that problem before. Interestingly the only people I know who have AEG wm said they have the same problem. I now think I have to replace it even though it still works.

I can safely say that mine does not have a hint of mould on the rubber seal or any sign of it inside the drum. The only evidence of black mould is on the water jets where the detergent dispenser goes. I normally do a 60 degree wash once a week and I use plant based fabric softener and always leave the door ajar after use so air can circulate. About twice a year I run a 95 degree wash using a washing machine cleaner, even though I have never detected any bad smells.

@@ibaisaic I wash all my linen and towels at 60 and do 95 degree wash at least once a month. I have tried doing it with vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, bleach. I have put paper towels soaked in bleach in the folds of the rubber seal and it does reduce the problem but it never gets rid of it completely. I also do not use softener and have started using powder rather than liquid detergent as someone told me that liquid detergents builds up into a sludge which is out of reach but out of which bacteria and fungi feed. The only thing I can say that I did not do every time is leave the door open which I do since the problem started. I am 60 and have had a few washing machines in my life, I can safely say that this never happened to me even when using the cheapest wm when I was younger. There is something wrong with the design I am sure of it. To be fair my model is slightly different then yours but I cannot see the review for it so I could not leave the message there. I would not buy AEG washing machine again.

I really like the fact you can do quicker hot washes. also instant door lock release is another great feature. I'm guessing it's an invertor motor as it's really quiet if so is it direct drive or connected with a belt? I've been looking at these for a while and really interested. I've stuck with the bekos for a while because you can do quick hot washes. Didn't realise AEG do the same.
