AEG tumble dryers
 
Hi there,

What is the reliability like of AEG vented dryers?

Does anyone own any AEG appliances, if so are they any good?

We would get a Miele but it is just too expensive.

Is it possible to vent the dryer using only plastic ducting?

Thanks for your help; it is appreciated.

I don't have one, but Which? magazine has their tumble driers very slightly
ahead of Miele on reliability. Unfortunately, they didn't give any AEG
vented machine a 'Best Buy' (they reviewed the T35850) but they do
recommend a Zanussi (ZDE57140W) which is considerably cheaper and the only
feature not on the Zanussi is a delayed start.
Zanussi are rated equally with AEG for reliability

Thanks, the best buy Zanussi has been replaced with the ZDE67550W

Did the AEG just about fall short of a best buy or was it really low
down on the list?

More than half way down 53rd of 95. The AEG had a 56% score for a £264
machine compared with 66% for a £171 Zanussi.

We've had a Whirlpool (AWZ 3303) for about the last 4/5 years which has been
too extensively used due to both weather and having two large kids still in
the nest who are either avid cricketers or footballers. Does the job and no
complaints to date.

Which? says the brand is above average for reliabilty, (I've just checked).
Do not recall the price, but they seemed mainstream at the time.

Ours vented through plastic pipe to the exterior.

We have an AEG dishwasher - age um maybe around 8ish years.

It's nice and quiet, seems well made, and sits there and works reliably
