Third-party reviews

What we like about AEG LFE50944B

  • A 69 L drum fits big loads, such as a duvet.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min.
  • Two programs finish in under an hour.
  • A night/silent option keeps the noise down.
  • A refresh cycle freshens clothes.
  • Anti-Allergy and jeans cycles are included.

What we don't like about AEG LFE50944B

  • Each cycle uses 64 L of water.
  • At 65.8 cm deep, it needs plenty of floor space.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so there is no phone control.
  • There is no time remaining indicator, so you cannot see how long a cycle has left.
  • There is no anti-crease function, so clothes can crease.

Verdict

69 L of drum space is the main draw of the AEG LFE50944B, a 9 kg front-loader for people who often wash bulky items. The drum is larger than the capacity figure suggests, so a big duvet or a pile of towels has room to move. The fastest program takes 14 min, which is handy for a quick top-up. A night/silent option lowers the sound when you run the machine late, and a refresh cycle freshens clothes. The trade-off is water and size: each cycle takes 64 L, and the machine is 65.8 cm deep, so it needs space. It has no Wi-Fi and no time remaining indicator. It suits a household that wants a big drum and a quick wash, and does not mind a deep, thirsty machine.
