hey folks, well heres one of my collection thats been totally overlooked but happens to be probably the best machine i've ever had..introducing my AEG 74640 This machine is the most versatile i've ever owned. its 1400rpm spin is extremely effective. it washes amazingly with its recirculatory jet and is well equiped for stains. with option buttons for pre-wash, soaking which can be anything from an hour to 19hours which compramises of a prewash & then tumbling every few minutes...a quick wash button for the lighter soiled loads, & a stain button which teamed with the in wash treatment compartment in the dispenser releases stain products at the right time in the cycle. now heres for the interesting bit. when i first bought this machine, i read through the manual and found the "Rinse +" option. as i'm an avid fan of high level water rinsing & pre programmed this as soon as i got it. So this option adds 2 rinses & raises water level up considerably. Now for what i discovered 3years after first owning it...this little beauty has a hidden rinse feature that has me amazed. which is what i've made a video of; when you DE-select rinse + and just make do with its normal rinsing....when the machine slows down from the spin after the first intermittent spin..it distributes and fills, just the same as jon (lavamat jon)'s 86741. now where our 2 differ is the interesting bit..once the machines finished filling...it tumbles for a minute or so...& then to my amazement...the machine distributed again pinning everythin to the sides of the walls of the drum with the jet on...& WHOOOSh the machine goes into orbit with a 500rpm spin! it does this another 3 times in the rinse before draining, spinning and doin it all over again...i'm well impressed. because as little water it uses to do this, the results are amazing...that and it much reminds me of my old hoover newwave which used to do spin in the wash cycle:D before i go on too much, i will let the video do abit of the talking:D Ciao for now!!!

As far as I know AEG is not sold in the USA. But in Canada you can buy AEG appliances, for instance through Euro-line Appliances. Here's the link.

How are your vintage machines??? Have you only got the servis left now? :o( I luv the quattro's!!!! my mates mum has the electronic version, i like the way it sits and thinks about what its got to do next, lol, at the start, it waits about 2mins before filling... it think its a 'self-check'!! and after the mid spins, it sits for a bout a minute before it fills for the next rinse | ||

hey folks, steve; b sure to make a video if u get an LG tht does that! tom:the number of rinses with normal rinsing is 3 but only 2 high level rinses if timesaver is pressed. the rinsing is faster on the normal rinses but you have to do the full 2 hour cycles. but with rinse + and time saver;u still get the high rinses which is about 4 on each program at high level it just cuts time off the main wash cycle. i was baffled at how well things were rinsed it was pretty clear. but i will b goin back to my high level rinsing shortly. i'm having withdrawels lol.

I`ve owned a AEG 74640 and got my money back because of the recirculated "sprayrinse". Let me explain. The normal rinsepattern on cottoncycles with maximum final spinspeed without rinse+ was like that: 3 lowlevel rinses with the jet on and 3 highspeed intermediate spins with the jet off, of course. If I selected quickwash then there were only 2 rinses (one highlevel followed by 1 low waterlevel) and two intermediate highspeedspins. With rinse+ selected the machine would do 4 rinses (3 highlevel 1 medium) but only 2 intermediate spins at ridiculously slow 400 rpm. Again when quickwash was selected 1 rinse got skipped. Had some trouble with the bearings before and I was not so happy with the machine at all, so as my machine started to spray soapy, recirculated water on my laundry while the intermidiate spins instead of draining my patience was wearing thin. This would have been the 3rd repair covered by warranty. So I made them pick up the AEG and traded it in for a Miele. Still not sure if the problem was the pump not switching from recirculating to draining or if to blame the electronic control. I`ll never know. | ||

Yes I do have a Miele instead of the AEG and I love it. Differently from the AEG 74640 it realizes the loadsize and shortens the wash, rinse and even the spincyle dramatically for small loads. I also fancy the rinseperfomance much better than the AEGs because the number of rinses does not change, when I use a quickwashprogramm. I also hated the recirculation pump of the AEG because of hygienic reasons. The Miele showers the gasket and the door with fresh clean water while the rinsefills. I like that. | ||

hey hey. jon i think ur theorys probably true of you OOB sensor...it does seem a tad more sensitive than mine. my machine seems to not care too much. lol. Steve. i couldnt stand the fact my samsung refused to spin. i think the only time it ever did full 1200rpm was when i ran it with nothing in it when i first got it! im in the process of picking a new machine at a reasonable price for my brother. around the £300 mark give or take a little. might go abit higher if i get him on a payment plan through work. lets have your opinions of reasonale machines for the price.and maybe a line as to why you think the machines are good! thanks! i'll be interested to see peoples views.
