AEG C41029G

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: AEG Customer Services

...I purchased an AEG 86720 in 2000 and after 4 years it needed new brushes for its motor (£25, i was a little anoyed, but got over it) and then 12 months later, the circuit boards that control the motor have blown. It has been inspected by Service Force engineer and is quoted at £400 for the circuit boards and replacement motor. I paid £700 back in 2000 and AEG are doing nothing to help. I bought an AEG because i expected top quality product and expected first class support from their customer service. I am upset and disappointed with my washing machine and with AEG. I will never buy an AEG-Electrolux product again. I have contacted AEG who, after much argument, agreed to help pay for some percentage of the parts, but only if i pay the engineer's call out charge. I agreed, since AEG offered to pay some part towards parts. Later AEG... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: Doesn't work; AEG customer services very poor

...Beautiful bit of kit that doesn't work! Problems are : 1. Bad design. Either that or it's broken (AEG now taken it back) 2. AEG customer services inability / unwillingness to do anything! It may be the design at fault. A microscopically small pellet of coffee is used. Around 25% of expected volume on a decent machine. The real problem is AEG customer services. Sent an engineer, who DIDN'T ACTUALLY TRY IT OUT just supposedly diagnosed a problem and carted it off. Waited and waited x weeks, x months for non-available part. Got fed up, demanded a replacement. No problem they said. Since when, nothing but evasion, lies, broken promises. "We are out of stock across the UK". Escalating to legal action now. Not what you expect for £800.... Read review

Advantages: excellent washing performance, energy efficient
Disadvantages: none

...Oh the delight!! I recently bought an AEG Lavamat Update after 12 long trusted years with a Zanussi. How glad i am! The AEG is a superior machine, with functions abounding, yet it is so easy to use, my boyfriend can finally wash clothes with ease!! With this machine you can just wash, rinse or spin separately at varying temperatures and spin speeds, you can delay washes, rinses and spins too as well as the usual start to finish programmes. There is no need to tell the machine how heavy or light the wash load is, as it weighs the clothes in the drum and alters the water usage accordingly. The machine also displays the amount of wash time left to go on the front of the machine. Lavamat Update machines are categorised as being extremely energy efficient. They have full child safety features, water drainage in case of a breakdown whilst... Read review
