Best features?
Weighing of loads ensures this machine can adjust washing times to minimise water and electricity use. It has an Eco TimeSave for an energy-efficient wash that’s as speedy as possible, too. There’s a 20 minute wash for a 3kg load that could get you out of a tight spot, too, and a programme for outdoor items and an anti-allergy cycle among the selection.
The verdicts
We reckon this is a good value buy with a large enough drum size for many family homes, and all the cycles you’d want, including if you have someone with allergies in your household. Although it’s a tad noisier than some of the AEG machines we recommend, it still does very well for quietness.
On the AEG site, it’s an overall 4.5 out of five for the machine from pleased reviewers. They commented on its large door – making access easy – the quietness of the maximum 1400rpm spin, and the effectiveness of the spin in getting clothes as dry as possible.

Want a quiet washing machine? The AEG L8FEC866R freestanding washing machine is a good bet.
Best features?
This machine’s quieter than many and gets a Quiet Mark accreditation for its prioritisation of noise reduction. It’s designed to dissolve detergent and fabric softener before it goes into the drum for better distribution and cleaning results. You can complete a wash cycle in 59 minutes, too, to save time and energy.
The verdict
It’s a big thumbs-up from us for this machine’s noise level because even in a utility room, but especially in an open-plan scheme, a washer can be an unmissable presence. This machine is big enough to cope with family loads and doesn’t lack in terms of programmes on offer. If someone in your home has dust mite allergies, you’ll like the cycle that ensures the temperature is constantly above 60°C to get rid of them.

Hate ironing? You’ll love the fact that this machine has a steam feature that can be used at the end of a cycle to reduce creasing. It’s also Quiet Mark accredited so should prove a welcome relief from washing noise. You don’t have to choose between saving time or saving energy with this machine. You can select both options together to get a wash that promises to be energy efficient and as speedy as possible.
The verdicts
We like the balance of cost and features this machine achieves. Less creasing and therefore less ironing is welcome, so it gets due credit from us for its steam function, and we don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the range of programmes on offer either. The clear display is welcome, too.

We like the fact that it’s part of the AEG 9000 series, which was voted household appliance product of the year 2018 by consumers, so it’s received the plaudits of everyday users of the machine.
