AEG fully integrated washer dryers sit behind a door that matches your kitchen units, so they wash and dry without breaking up a run of cabinets. The range covers the 6000 Series and 7000 Series. Every model has a 1600 rpm spin and 14 programmes, so they suit households that want one built-in machine for both jobs in a kitchen or utility room.

The main choice is drum size. Models take either a 7 kg or 8 kg wash load. Drying capacity is around 4 kg in each case, which is roughly half the wash load. If you plan to wash and dry in one go, wash smaller loads, or split a full wash before drying. The 8 kg versions give extra room for bedding and bigger weekly washes. The 7 kg models suit smaller households.

Across the range, models are rated B for spin efficiency and B for washing only. The rating drops to D when a full wash-and-dry cycle is counted, because drying uses much more energy than washing. If you dry most loads in the machine, keep that in mind. Before buying, check your housing size and how the furniture door will be fixed.

Start by deciding between 7 kg and 8 kg, then compare the 6000 and 7000 Series models at that size. AEG built-in washer dryers shows these same models within the wider built-in category. To look beyond laundry, see all AEG products.
