New AEG UK

I`m afraid as long as the EU energy label lacks information on fabric wear and rinsing efficiency the craze about endless cycle times and overloaded drums isn`t going to stop any time soon.

Our consumer magazine tells us there is no reproducible method to test fabric wear at the moment, but I *think* the EU has no desire to develop such a test as it would be counterproductive to the current energy savings at all costs policy.

I don't quite have noticed any significant increase in fabric wear. I use these Eco cycles for overnight washing and such.

Overloaded drums should actually reduce wear. I mean, clothes can't move, thus no friction and less beating.
But rinsing sucks for the most parts, especially if there is no recirc system.

Anyhow, cycle programming has gone way more morbidly wrong then that.
Like BSHs 40C cotton cycle (not Eco) that uses more energy then the 60C version of that cycle.
2h easy care cycles, that use more water then then delicate cycles.
The basic elimination of prewashes on some machines.

These AEGs can cut down wash times down to ~1 1/2h or less for smallest loads.

There's also 4 new videos in English on the AEG youtube channel about 6000, 7000, 8000 and 9000 series washer dryers.

I've rarely seen Washer Dryers get a design update at the same time as the main washers and dryers, but the video seems to show the new design hidden in the shadows.

Not sure if thats because they are alluding to new models coming out shortly (hopefully) or if they simply didn't want to show the older style models in the new videos they've been releasing so hid it from view?!

However... although the older style Washer Dryers have converted over to the newer type model numbers on their websites they don't contain the Outdoor program which the advert talks about, so perhaps something new is on it's way?

They look so futuristic and they look like the current Zanussi Lindo machines and the display looks like the Miele Navitronic / Miele Supertronic ones

Fabric abrasion ISO 3758

Apparently the international textile labelling codes take into account:
the garment contruction;
the possibility of abrasion;
surface embellishments (i.e. stuck on with glue);
risk of solvents removing colour.

It does say cleaning effectiveness is not dealt with. (Look at the Frequently Asked Questions, last one).
