The smart home appliances to invest in from AEG
From smart dishwashers to self-cleaning ovens, these are the must-have appliances
Whether you’re living in your first or fourth home, there are always simple things you can do, or buy, to make minor improvements that offer big differences.
In the age of smart technology, it’s easy to enhance your home by replacing your appliances with the latest innovations, such as a washing machine that tailors its wash to each load, or simply switching from gas hobs to induction.
A previous review from The Independent described AEG’s 8000 series vacuum cleaner as having the “best auto (multi-surface) mode we’ve tested on any cordless to date”.
Whether you’re in the market for a new vacuum or a smart dishwasher, here are some must-have appliances from AEG.
Cordless vacuum cleaner - 8000 Cordless Cleaner: £419.99, aeg.co.uk
A vacuum cleaner is an essential part of any home, no matter the type of flooring you have, which is why it’s important to invest in one that has been proven to perform well. AEG’s 8000 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner offers a more powerful clean as it has the ability to automatically adapt its suction power. Made from 65 per cent recycled plastics, it can be used on hard floors and carpets and has up to 60 minutes of continuous use.
Offering six times more powerful suction than a standard vacuum cleaner, the 8000 model also had a multi-surface nozzle and a telescopic tube that allows users to clean in those hard-to-reach areas. An added bonus? It is also one of the quietest cordless vacuum cleaners on the market, so you can vacuum as early as you like without having to worry about waking the neighbours.

Smart dishwasher - 9000 ComfortLift® Dishwasher: £1019.99, aeg.co.uk
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that the worst thing about loading a dishwasher is constantly bending over to stack items on the lower shelf. Luckily, with AEG’s ComfortLift® dishwasher, you and your back will be saved this hassle. This is due to the dishwasher’s advanced technology which lifts the lower rack to a higher height to allow you to load the dishwasher more comfortably.
Other features from this smart dishwasher include its QuickSelect controls which allow the user to select the cycle time and control the energy efficiency of the machine with its ecometer. It also includes AirDry Technology which automatically opens the dishwasher door at the end of each cycle to allow natural air to circulate, which can help improve the drying performance, save on energy costs, and cool down the dishes so they aren’t hot to touch when you come to unload the machine. Plus, it means that items such as food storage containers can be put away instantly without the need to towel dry.
Self-cleaning oven - 6000 Series SteamBake with Pyrolytic Self-cleaning: £839.99, aeg.co.uk
If there’s one appliance that is often overlooked when it comes to cleaning your kitchen, due to the time and effort it takes, it’s your oven. So why not invest in an oven that cleans itself? AEG’s range of pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens turns dirt and grease into ash with, quite literally, the touch of a button, which makes cleaning your oven simpler than ever. You can choose from three cycles: quick, normal or intense, depending on the level of cleaning it needs.
Once the level is selected, the door will lock and the oven can heat up to around 500C which removes any leftover food residue. Once the cycle is finished and the oven is cooled, the ash can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth. Push the boundaries of what's possible in your home with the 6000 Series SteamBake, for instance.
Smart washing machine - 9000 SoftWater Washing Machine with ProSense® 9 kg: £1,349.99, aeg.co.uk
Whether you’re washing the clothes you save for good or those that you throw on every day, you need a washing machine that can adjust its cycle accordingly. Enter: AEG’s ProSense® washing machines.
Each load in an AEG washing machine is automatically weighed so that it goes through a tailored cycle. This means that sensors measure and calculate that exact amount of water, energy and time that particular load needs for a thorough clean - whether it’s for one shirt or a load of heavy towels. This ensures that the fabric has less wear and tear, and also saves water and energy.
