Top AEG Dishwasher Models

AEG F40010VI retails from £380 - £400.
It is a full-sized (82 x 60 x 55 cm), built-in dishwasher that holds easily 12 settings. A delay timer lets you determine 1 – 9 hours in advance when you want the cycle to start. The end of a cycle is indicated by an alarm tone as a reminder for you. There is a choice of 5 washing programs: normal, eco, pre-rinse, Quick wash, normal wash, intense wash and rinse & hold.

The normal cycle needs from start to finish 110 min (1 h 50 min) and performs excellent when washing and drying; no watermarks are left on glasses. Water consumption is very efficient in this cycle. Downside is the high electricity consumption of the normal program.

The eco-program needs 150 min (2 h 30 min) which seems a bit lengthy at first, but on the other hand water- (12 L) and electricity (1.05 kWh) consumption is very economic and low with this cycle.

Loading can be a bit tricky, as the upper rack is not adjustable and the silverware basket is on a fixed position.

A LED indicator shows when salt and rinse-aid needs to be refilled. This dishwasher has got a plate warming feature which is handy when you expect guests or have a nice cooked meal with your friends or family.

The AEG F55011VI dishwasher is another full-sized (82 x 60 x 55 cm), built-in model that holds the standard 12 place settings. It sells from £570.

5 programs help to wash and dry glasses, dishes and kitchenware: normal, eco, auto-wash, intensive (70 C) and quick-wash (30 min).

The normal cycle (120 min or 2 h) is excellently cleaning and drying and watermarks on glasses are not left behind. However, these outstanding results require high electricity and reasonable good water consumption.

The eco program is with 160 min (2h 40 min) forty minutes longer than the normal cycle, but water- and energy consumption is excellently low. This model is with 47 db somewhat noisy.

Loading this AEG dishwasher is made very easy and convenient: the upper rack is height adjustable on one side so that you can place even long stemmed glassware or XL mugs easily into it. The silverware basket is removable, which gives you even more possibilities to load goods.

The AEG Favorit F86070VI retails from £600 excl. delivery. It is a built-under, full sized (82 x 60 x 55 cm) dishwasher that holds 12 place settings comfortably. In this price range you have got the choice between 6 washing programs and additional features (see below).

The normal cycle performs outstanding and delivers stunning results within a cycle time of 120 min (2 h). The eco program delivers also outstanding results, although it will need the usual extra time.

AAA rated, this model runs with an excellent low water- and energy consumption in its eco cycle. In normal cycle the energy- and water efficiency is only below average, meaning that it needs quite a lot of water and electricity. But results are as described above, outstanding good.

This AEG dishwasher model is very quiet (43 db). A delay timer lets you determine the start of a cycle. Additional features are Aqua control (an anti flooding device), turbo drying (thermal drying), electronic spotlight and advanced fuzzy logic.

Advanced fuzzy logic based control reduces the amount of water used by the dishwasher during a cycle. A sensor is able to detect when the dishwasher has adequate water by monitoring the behaviour of its water pump motor as fresh water is coming in. It will shut off the incoming water that results in substantial savings of water.

Loading is made very easy and the height adjustable upper rack gives additional variability.
