Compare the AEG 8000 to the AEG 7000 washing machine
Aren't you sure whether you need an AEG 8000 series PowerCare or AEG 7000 series ProSteam? The load capacity is pretty much the same for both washing machine models, but the technology is different. The AEG 8000 series PowerCare spreads the detergent evenly, which results in cleaner laundry. This series is also more energy-efficient. In this article, you'll read the differences between the series.
Main differences between the AEG 8000 and AEG 7000
| AEG 8000 series | AEG 7000 series | |
|---|---|---|
| AbsoluteCare (color retention) | No | No |
| PowerCare (cleaner laundry) | Yes | No |
| ProSteam (less wrinkles) | Yes | Yes |
| ProSense (load sensor) | Yes | Yes |
| Energy label | A-20% | A-10% |
| Load capacity | 8 - 9kg | 8 - 9kg |
Difference in user-friendliness
AEG 8000 PowerCare: cleaner laundry and less wrinkles
The AEG 8000 series uses PowerCare technology. The detergent or fabric softener is dissolved in the water beforehand. As a result, the detergent is better distributed and you'll get softer, cleaner laundry. With this technology, you can also wash at lower temperatures with the same result. That way, your clothes stay in good condition for longer. Besides PowerCare, the washing machine also has ProSteam for nearly iron-free laundry. You can tell that the 8000 series does a little more than the 7000 series.
AEG 7000 ProSteam: less wrinkles
An AEG washing machine of the 7000 series has ProSteam. This function steams your clothes in the drum to smoothen them out, so they won't have as many wrinkles when the laundry is done. The cycle takes a little longer when you use the steam function, but it'll save you time on ironing. You can also use the separate steam cycle to freshen up clothes you wore for just 1 day in 25 minutes. This 7000 series doesn't have PowerCare, a technology the 8000 series has.
Difference in energy label
AEG 8000 series: A to A-20% energy label
An 8000 series PowerCare washing machine has an A to A-20% energy label, which makes it more energy-efficient than a 7000 model. With an A-20% energy label, you'll save up to € 270 on your energy bill over the average lifespan.
AEG 7000 series: A to A-10% energy label
A washing machine from the 7000 series ProSteam has an A to A-10% energy label. With an A-10% energy label, you save up to € 245 on your energy bill over the average lifespan. If you look into the savings, the 8000 series is slightly more energy-efficient.
Similarity in load capacity
AEG 8000 series: choose between 8 or 9kg
With a washing machine from the 8000 series PowerCare, you can choose between an 8 or 9kg load capacity. With an 8kg load capacity, you can wash small and medium-sized loads of laundry. This allows you to wash the bedding of 2 to 3 people, in addition to your regular loads. Is your household larger, or do you often wash large loads of laundry? Choose a 9kg washing machine. That way, everything fits in the drum in one go.
AEG 7000 series: choose between 8 or 9kg
The 7000 series ProSteam washing machine is available from a 8kg load capacity. This is suitable for small and medium-sized loads of 2 to 3 people. When you often wash large loads of bedding or clothes, the 7000 series also offers a 9kg load capacity.
