General info

The appliance is either Energy Star Certified, or has an EU energy efficiency rating of A++ or A+++. This means it consumes around 20-30% less energy than is required by the minimum local standards for energy efficiency.
A hot water connection means that you can provide the machine with hot water from your main hot water supply. This can be faster than an internal heater and can save money if you have a cheap and efficient water heater.
The more power per year a device consumes, the less energy efficient it is, making it more costly over time.
A direct drive motor has no belt and pulley. This means it wastes less power in friction, are less prone to breakdowns and have longer lifetimes in general. They are able to operate more quietly and with less vibration.
height

850 mm

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Machines which use less water are good for the environment and can save you money in utility bills.
has aqua stop
AEG L64840
Aqua stop machines have a special mechanical system which cuts off the water flow into the tub if a fault occurs with the inlet pipe.
thickness

615 mm

The thickness (or depth) of the product.
weight

63.4kg

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Design

Is stackable
AEG L64840
Stackable machines are ideal if you have limited space as you could stack a tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
Front loading machines are good as you can use the space above and sometimes stack a dryer on top. In general front loading machines use less energy, using less water by only partly filling the drum and obtaining higher spin speeds which clean without requiring as much heat.
With a transparent door you can look inside the machine and see what laundry is inside.
door opening angle

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

With a door that opens wide it is easier to load or unload the machine without the door becoming an obstacle.
You can adjust the height of the machine which means that if the floor is uneven you can level it out.
top loading machine
AEG L64840
Top loading machines are good because you can load and unload without bending down. In general they have less problems with mold accumulating and on average a wash takes less time. In general they are cheaper to buy and are a good space saving option.
Has a display
AEG L64840
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
An interior light helps you to see inside the machine.
A reversible door is useful if the machine is in a corner, so you can make it open more conveniently. It also means the door is easy to remove and can be replaced if needed.

Washing

Has a load sensor
AEG L64840
Machines with a load sensor can weigh the load and adjust settings accordingly. This means you don't have to feel as guilty about doing a smaller load as the machine will use less water.
number of cycle programs

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

With a wider range of programs to choose from you can be more specific and choose the best, most economic program for your needs.
A faster spin speed means you can get things cleaner with a lower temperature of the water. Using a fast spin also extracts water, meaning that the clothes come out nearly dry. Generally, anything over 1,000 rpm is very good.
drum volume

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

With a bigger drum you can fit in larger items such as duvets, or do a big load at once.
With a delay start option you can schedule the machine to begin at a later time. You can also set the machine to wash at night if your electricity is cheaper outside of peak times.
More weight capacity helps if you want to wash something heavy like curtains. A traditional household machine can hold around 6kg, so with a machine much bigger you may waste energy using it when only half full.
During a spin, machines can get quite noisy. With less noise the machine is not as distracting and you won't be restricted to using it at certain times.
has a pause option
AEG L64840
This means you can stop the machine if you want to add something you forgot, or get something out that you need urgently.
With a lower noise level for washing you can worry less about disruption and may be able to do a wash at night or while reading.
