What we like about AEG FFB32617ZW

  • Efficient AirDry feature automatically opens the door to maximize natural airflow and drying results.
  • Whisper-quiet operation allows for a peaceful kitchen environment while running.
  • Sparkling and spotless cleaning performance on crockery, cutlery, and pans, even during shorter programs.
  • Versatile and easily tailored washes thanks to add-on functions like ExtraPower and ExtraHygiene.
  • Convenient height-adjustable upper basket makes room for larger kitchen items.
  • Helpful front control panel clearly displays the countdown timer and wash cycle progress.
  • Gentle SoftSpikes in the top basket successfully stabilize and protect delicate wine glasses.

What we don't like about AEG FFB32617ZW

  • The cutlery basket feels slightly flimsy.
  • The openings on the cutlery basket lid are too small for thicker silverware, requiring users to remove the top grid section.

Verdict

The AEG FFB32617ZW is a freestanding 60 cm full-size dishwasher featuring a 13-place setting capacity, 8 wash programs (including a Quick 30-minute cycle and Machine Care), and 4 temperature settings. Operating at a moderate noise level of 46 dB, it consumes 9.9 liters of water per Eco cycle and has an energy efficiency rating of Class E (94 kWh per 100 cycles). Main pros include its innovative AirDry technology that automatically opens the door by 10 cm at the end of a cycle to maximize natural drying, a height-adjustable QuickLift upper basket, and dedicated glass protection with SoftSpikes. On the downside, it features a lower E energy rating, lacks a modern cutlery drawer in favor of a standard cutlery basket, and some users note the basket holes can be slightly narrow for thicker cutlery.
