AEG Favorit 440801D

Bought AEG package when having kitchen fitted.

Three freezers replaced in 4 years.

Dishwasher caught fire after only 4 years. AEG stated this was due to normal wear and tear. Refused to replace the article.

Customer service very arrogant and dismissive.

If the dishwasher has only a 4 year shelf life then it should be stipulated in the advertising brochure.

Disappointing product and disappointing after sales.

Never agian.

Bought in 2006 our AEG 440801 has been trouble free for almost 6 years despite heavy use in a multi occupancy house. One of my purchasing priorities was noise emission and this machine was one of the quietest models available at the time. We normally use the ECO programme, but the 30 min programme is very useful at times.

No call outs, repairs or replacements needed until now. The wheels on the bottom rack are beginning to disintegrate and I am on line buying replacements which will be very simple to fit

Since buying our first dishwasher in 1968 this about our sixth model. The AEG performs as well as any of its predecessors and I am hoping it will match the life of our last model - a Whirlpool - which was excellent and provided good results for 10 years.

When I buy a new machine I will look at all models available but would happily buy another AEG if it meets my criteria at the time.

We had this dishwasher for four years and to be fair it did a perfectly serviceable job for this period of time. There are only 3 of us in our house it didn't have particularly heavy use and we did everything correctly in terms of maintenance but to no avail. One day, while in use, a seal broke and water leaked on to the motor. To replace the motor it would have cost £250. So "bye bye" dishwasher! I don't think 4 years is an adequate length of time for it to last. Our previous dishwasher lasted 8 years and it would have been good for longer if we hadn't dropped it will moving house! I say stay away from AEG!

purchased 2006. 2010 the Door came open during the wash. New door catch fitted. £104. repair. One month later door came open during wash. I was told the spray arms were blocked and causing this to happen.(no charge).

Very disappointed at the minute amount of debris in spray arm could cause this to happen. Owned a dishwaser for more than 30 years new to me.Advised to purchase a new spray arm.
