Third-party reviews

What we like about AEG Lavatherm T72275AC

  • The wool program suits knitwear and delicate fabrics.
  • Humidity sensors help stop wool from over-drying.
  • The reversible door can open from the other side.
  • A 57 cm depth suits a narrow utility room.
  • At 36.76 kg it is manageable for one person.
  • Energy efficiency class B is a good rating.

What we don't like about AEG Lavatherm T72275AC

  • The 7 kg capacity is modest for bedding and large loads.
  • 504 kWh a year adds up over time.
  • At 65 dB it is noticeable in a quiet room.
  • At 60 cm wide it needs a full-width gap.

Verdict

Wool care is the reason to look at the AEG Lavatherm T72275AC, a condenser dryer for knitwear and delicate pieces. You choose the drying level, and humidity sensors end the cycle once the load is dry, so wool is less likely to over-dry. The door can be switched to open from the other side, and the 57 cm depth suits a narrow utility room. The display and delayed start make it easy to plan loads for later, and the fast cycle takes 40 min. The 7 kg capacity is modest, so bedding and large family loads will mean more cycles. At 36.76 kg it is manageable for one person, but at 65 dB it is noticeable in a quiet room. It suits someone with a lot of knitwear and a smaller household.
