Doesn't the new Energy Label also show noise emission? Here it does.
I checked some specs and most silent washers are around 50 dB for washing and 70 to 75 dB for spinning. FWIW, our consumer magazine rated the B/S/H machines with that Eco Silence Drive as the quietest, I think. On the other hand, they dedicated a full paragraph to the LG F1480QDS as they though it was pretty noisy - despite the sticker with a sleeping baby on the washer's top. |

Ok I can help you here!
Having owned an LG Steam washer & My parents owning a the AEG 7kg protex washer (Which i am going to go use tomorrow as I'm watching there house while on holiday! hehe!) The LG is a fine machine. It has and currently still does wash for my children and is still in possession of my ex fiancee...It was well built, the wash & rinse performance was excellent the extremely powerful jet combined with the steam function was unbelivable. I never had to rewash my then newly born (2 today!!) son's clothes or his 3 year old brother's clothes again and it was very quiet. Nick there was a huge increase in quality from your model to my range! I'd snap your arm off if you offered me another one! AEG: So far so good. Quiet...moves about abit on spin though. It like my hotpoint is very good with it's fuzzy logic and does cut the cycle times dramatically if it feels necessary. The paddles do shower the load really well. It is silent on wash & very quiet on spin!! I'd certainly consider the 8kg too. So my opinion may not help rereading this. You would get a cracking machine either way. The only thing that would worry me is the evident drop in build quality by electrolux of late. Even though your paying £700+ alot of that is for the features. Though you do get a 5 year warranty with those I think. Good luck on your choice and let us know of course :D Darren |

I'm using my mums AEG today as I'm looking after there house while there away on holiday.
I did a full load of towels. They've used a lot of LG"isms" on this new range. The initial tumbles are like the scrubbing motion except it stops rather than toos and fros. then goes onto long progressive tumbles. The spin is almost identical to an lg. Slow steady spin about 200rpm then it clears the pump and flys up to speed. Exactly like my LG did. Standard cotton rinses hit the rim of the drum and are the same tumble speed as the wash! Darren |

It looks like Panasonic do Jet dancing too! I do like the AEG Protex machines, and the drum looks amazing after seeing it in the shop, seems more solid than the LG too. CLICK HERE TO GO TO glenfieldmathk1's LINK |

I'm pretty much sold that it's going to be an AEG. I'm seriously considering the 9kg model now too, as soon as the funds are in place i shall be purchasing. Darren, now that you've used one, what do you think of the AEG's? |

That Panasonic on the Youtube videos is not a UK machine, so it would be prudent to be pessimistic about the technologies bound for the UK market. |
