Verdict

The AEG FEE6491AZM is a 60 cm semi-integrated Series 6000 dishwasher featuring a 14 place setting capacity, an energy efficiency rating of Class C, and a quiet operational noise level of 44 dB. Key performance systems include the SatelliteClean double-rotating spray arm for thorough water distribution, a versatile MaxiFlex cutlery drawer, and an automatic AirDry door-opening mechanism for spot-free drying. While its 10.5-liter water consumption per Eco cycle is highly resource-efficient and its 1-24 hour delay start provides great flexibility, some users find that the 4-hour Eco program duration is quite long, and the unit lacks automated dosage control for detergents.
