There's a handy wash and dry cycle which means you don't have to be around to switch things over half way through. And, when you have a few items that just need freshening up, just use the brilliant Steam Refresh function which neutralises odours and reduces wrinkles in just 25 minutes, all without washing. And, there's a handy MixLoad 69 Min cycle which lets you throw in cottons with synthetics while the machine uses clever sensors to weigh the load and select the best settings to care for your clothes. Programmes include Delicates, ECO, Outdoor and a 20 minute Quick Wash. While AEG's clever UniversalDose Drawer uses jets of water to dissolve PODS way quicker than if you pop them in the drum which boosts cleaning performance, especially with cold and quick washes. Plus there's a Hygiene cycle to remove all sorts of nasties from your clothes. And, using the machine is a breeze thanks to the modern LCD display and simple rotary dial and push button controls and there's a handy delay start feature.
