Found this on YouTube today. Pretty interresting and sneak, would like to have on beside our dryer (because it is boring to get done with all bedding washed in just 2*2 cycles, but the waiting aditional 4h for the dryer to finish up ALL the laundry). CLICK HERE TO GO TO henene4's LINK |

Most of Electrolux stuff is made in Italy at the former Zanussi plants |

"Made in Germany" has always been something like a sign for quality. Since AEG can no longer put "Made in Germany" on their washers, one wonders what this will do for the brands reputation...
Kind of like Bauknecht being made by Whirlpool. As I recall, Whirlpool is considered a less-than-premium grade washer in Germany, "American junk", if you will. |

Sales of AEG appliances declined when Electrolux closed the last German factory. Unfortunately, the average German consumer does not seem to mind where his appliance is made so sales went up again, I assume.
Looking at consumer magazine tests, AEG appliances are average performers. Ovens and fridges/freezers seem to work pretty well but their dryers need a lot of time and the dishwashers don't clean as well as Bosch or Miele - same for Bauknecht/Whirlpool dishwashers, by the way. I wouldn't want an AEG appliance. Alex |

According to our consumer magazine, Whirlpool dryers are the fastest (and loudest) and Electrolux ones are amont the slowest ones. I only went for my Siemens dryer because I read much more positive feedback about BSH than about Whirlpool Europe.
In another test, a hybrid tub Bosch cleaned better than a ProClean (swirling spray arm) AEG. Can't speak for their washers. I do remember that, some time ago, AEG washers failed the durability test because the tub cracked and leaked water. |
