Best AEG Clothes Dryers

I purchased an AEG T8DHE842B heat-pump dryer in May 2018. At the time it retailed for around $1,800 and was positioned as a premium appliance, so I… Read more

expected durability and strong after-sales support.

In July 2021, the dryer suffered a drum/motor failure and was repaired under warranty. In September 2025, the same fault recurred — the dryer powers on, but the drum no longer spins, making the unit unusable.

I contacted AEG to request a repair under Australian Consumer Law, given the recurrence of a fault affecting a core function. The handling of this was disappointing: - Long wait times and inconsistent communication - Being told the issue needed “escalation”, followed by no meaningful callback - Ultimately being offered only a paid out-of-warranty service, on the basis that the manufacturer’s warranty had expired and the unit had already been repaired once

AEG refused to repair the dryer at their cost or offer any meaningful remedy. I escalated the matter externally, but was ultimately left with no resolution.

What’s most frustrating is not just the failure itself, but the lack of accountability for a recurring defect in a premium appliance. A dryer at this price point should reasonably last longer than seven years without repeated motor/drum failures, and I would not have purchased it had I known this would be the outcome.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend AEG if you value long-term reliability.

is the problem. It runs for hours and leaves clothes wet. Its action forms sheets into tight balls capturing other clothes, and after several hours, only the outside clothes are dry. Everything else, is as wet as when it went in! Have read the Instruction Book over and over to see if we're doing anything wrong. Apparently not. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MACHINE.
