Those who prefer to use reliable and proven equipment, first of all pay attention to such well-known brands as Miele, Bosch, Electrolux, AEG. We decided to devote this article to one of these manufacturers, namely the German company AEG, which has existed for more than a hundred years on the market and is engaged in the production of not only washing machines. Indisputable German quality is manifested in the advantages of automatic machines of this brand, but they also have drawbacks, which will be discussed later.

Advantages and disadvantages of cars of this brand

AEG brand washing machines in terms of cost can be attributed to the middle and high class. The price of such cars starts from 40 thousand rubles. Premium cars cost 100 thousand rubles. and more. All units of this brand differ in the type of loading, dimensions and other technical characteristics. But their advantages are combined, which are as follows:

• quality of workmanship and high strength of moving parts;
• high technology and stylish design;
• high quality of washing;
• maximum possible silent operation;
• minimal vibration during the spin cycle;
• functional washing, spin, and in some drying models;
• practical user-friendly little things: tank lighting, the presence of a cable for emergency opening of the drum, complete protection against leaks, etc .;
• ease of maintenance.

We should also say a few words about the tank of the AEG washing machine. Company developers AEG has patented a polymer alloy tank that is superior in performance to a stainless steel tank. Such a tank has less weight, does not emit chemicals, is not susceptible to corrosion, is resistant to mechanical and thermal effects, and has sound-absorbing properties.

As for the shortcomings, they also exist. However, they are not so significant in comparison with the merits, but nevertheless we list them:

• expensive spare parts (rarely break down, but force majeure can happen with any technique);
• high price and inaccessibility to consumers;
• glued tank in the latest models of machines, which complicates access to bearings and seals in case of replacement;
• in some models, the polymer tank was replaced with a plastic one.

Note! The average service life of German AEG equipment claimed by the manufacturer is 10 years.

Everything that is assembled by human hands breaks down sooner or later; AEG washing machines cannot avoid this fate. The parts most susceptible to breakage are:

• temperature sensor;
• bearings;
• drain pump;
• control module (programmer).

Such breakdowns are detected in the following cases:

1. when the machine does not heat water to a predetermined temperature;
2. when a rattle and a knock are heard in the drum of a typewriter while rotating it by hand;
3. when water does not collect;
4. when the waste water does not drain, washing machine freezes.

A bit of history ...

In conclusion, we will tell you a bit from the history of the appearance of the AEG brand, dispel all your doubts about who the manufacturer is, and which country is the assembly place for this brand of equipment.

The birth of AEG began in 1883 in Berlin, as a company manufacturing electrical equipment. Since 1887, the company has been officially named AEG - Allgemeine Elektricitats-Gesellschaft. BUT in 1889 AEG brand logo appears. The first electrical appliances released under this brand before 1930 were: iron, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer.

In 1935, the first model of built-in household appliances was released, and it was an AEG refrigerator.

In addition to household appliances, the company was engaged in the production of diesel engines, steam turbines, electric motors, lamps, and during the Second World War it was involved in the production of military equipment. In 1958, the company introduced the first Lavamat automatic washing machine. And in 1964 there was a machine for drying clothes. In 1986, the first machine appeared with a reduced consumption of water and powder.

Since 1970, AEG has been in decline, enterprises are being reorganized and merged with other companies. So, for example, in 1983, part of the production was sold to the French concern Brandt, and in 1994, the production of washing machines was sold to Electrolux while maintaining the AEG brand.

Note! The AEG finally ceased to exist in 1996. The last AEG washing machine in Germany was assembled on March 9, 2007, and on March 16 the plant was closed. Machine production moved to Poland, Hungary, Italy.

From the foregoing, only one conclusion can be drawn that the country of origin of modern AEG washing machines is not Germany. However, despite this, the quality of the machines remains German, the new owner of this world famous brand managed to maintain an important advantage of the machines - reliability. Over the long history of AEG, the country of assembly remains in the shadows.

So, if it is possible to choose a washing machine from expensive, then AEG automatic machines deserve attention. The manufacturer exercises due control over the manufacture of this equipment in accordance with European standards. Of course, they have their drawbacks, but the perpetual motion machine does not exist. Have a good choice!
