AEG LAV12700VIT Integrated Washer Dryers

Advantages: good value, plenty of features, great space saver
Disadvantages: the drier is not a patch on a stand alone machine

...The first thing to say is that if you don't need to combine the washer and drier for very practical reasons - ie space, then don't. Don't get me wrong, the AEG is a very well put together machine that does what it's supposed to do - wash and then dry your laundry. The problem is that it doesn't perform these combined tasks as well as single function machines. A house move left us with little option but to get rid of our Bosch washer and Hotpoint drier and we opted for the AEG L16830 on the back of consumer recommendations. It looks good, it's easy to install, it's incredibly quiet on wash cycle, the controls are relatively user friendly and it washes pretty well. But........the drying cycle is very disappointing. You have to significantly reduce the load to get an adequate drying cycle and even this takes forever. Because... Read review

Advantages: cleans well
Disadvantages: hard to reach blockages

...i bought this washer dryer september of 2006, the repair man has had to visit me twice since, the on off button seems to have a real problem with slipping inside the machine fascia, bit annoying when you cant turn it on. it is also very difficult to remove blockages as you have to take the entire back off thats nearly 20 odd screws and then manuvere round pipes. i feel it does look stylish and is very easy to wipe down, pretty flat front so no nooks for anything to get stuck in. seems to clean well, have to half the load when drying but i think that is the same for all washer dryers. it is extremely hot when a load has been dried, so i like to leave time for it cool down before i wash the next load, but i dont know if makes any difference....

Advantages: Quiet & good cleaner
Disadvantages: Cost

...Hi all, hope you enjoy my review on this item. I would appreciate your rating on the review and any comments you may have. Ok, where to start ? *********APPEARENCE********* I love the fact that this item is fully intergrated. This means that it is totally covered with a full height cabinet door and the controls are on the top edge. The door that covers the dishwasher is the same as my kitchen cupboards and you have no idea that it is in the kitchen. ********PRICE********** I paid £434.00 for this product and got a Free 2 year Parts and Labour Guarantee. I feel this is a good deal for the product, but you can get alot cheaper dishwashers if this is more than your budget, that are very good ad well. I was happy to pay a bit more to get a fully intergrated product. *********ENERGY EFFICIENCY******* I thought I would say... Read review
