After having two mid-range dish washers I pursuaded my hubby to let me have one of the makes that is considered to be up there with the best (a premium brand) I really wanted a Bosch, but couldn't get one, so the AEG was second best choice. This was about three years ago.
On the whole I have been very pleased with the machine, it washes lovely, dries thouroughly, has a suitable amount of choice of programmes, it has a timer that I have never used. However, over the last 13 months it has become unreliable. We cover our white goods with a well known insurance policy provided by a utility company, it's expensive, but call them out a couple of times a year and you've soon got your money back, and if it wasn't for this policy the dishwasher would have been thrown out months ago.
December 2005 - a new pump was fitted. November 2006 - new switch fitted. November 2006 - new circuit board/control panel fitted.
Each time the machine would start the wash cycle and then just stop, we've also had one full blown flood from the machine (good job my kitchen floor is tiled!)
Would I recommend AEG? I would, I like it. It's quiet, it's quick and it performs. But I would also suggest extended cover. The bits we've had replaced would have cost a small fortune it we'd had to replace them ourselves.
Would I buy another one? No, next time I'll go for middle of the range again and if I have to replace it every five years - so be it!
