An 8 star way to dry
AEG’s innovative SensiDry heat pump technology means clothing dries at almost half the temperature of conventional dryers, protecting your apparel from unnecessary heat. By using temperate air and monitoring sensors, SensiDry dryers offer an 8 out of 10 star energy rating.

Unprecedented protection 
Programs in AEG’s leading AbsoluteCare System preserve each fibre’s unique look and feel, by combining an exact drum movement with an accurate temperature. A cradle action holds silks overhead, wools are kept flat, while outdoor garments are gently dried with their full functionality intact.

Adaptable technology
Time, water and energy consumption are minimised with AEG’s ProSense technology. Through advanced humidity and temperature sensors which monitor and accommodate load types, all laundry is handled optimally.

Woolcare you can trust
Independently tested, the Woolmark Blue certification is awarded only to dryers deemed safe against shrinkage or damage to hand wash only wool garments.

Silence simplified
For those life moments you need uninterrupted, AEG’s Extra Quiet mode programs onto specific cycles, delivering the same drying quality (though a longer cycle time), with reduced noise.

Laundry Layout

Clever space maximising layouts take the tedium out of sorting laundry and increase productivity. Dryers can be paired with their matching washing machine for a uniform look, either sat level to each other, wall mounted or stacked using a kit if opting for a front-loader. If your home can’t house a separate laundry, integrating into the kitchen or bathroom behind cabinetry is a smart option.

Installation

Dryers need two things: a power source and well ventilated room. To prevent condensation and any mould growth, set up your dryer close to a window or use an exhaust fan. If ventilation isn’t an option, consider a heat pump condenser dryer.
