Verdict

The AEG FUS6491AZM is a full-sized 60 cm under-counter Series 6000 dishwasher featuring a 14 place setting capacity, 8 wash programs, and a C-class energy rating with a 10.5-liter water consumption per eco cycle. Its main pros include an efficient SatelliteClean spray arm that provides up to three times better coverage, a flexible MaxiFlex cutlery drawer for bulky utensils, an adjustable QuickLift upper basket, a quiet 44 dB noise level, and natural AirDry technology that automatically opens the door after washing. However, notable cons include the lack of app-based smart connectivity, the absence of interior lighting, and occasional residue left on dishes during the Eco mode.
