  • Wi-Fi lets you keep track of a wash from your phone.
  • Anti-vibration design keeps the machine steadier during spins.
  • A refresh cycle is included for freshening up clothes.

What we don't like about AEG LR7H116BY 7000 Series ProSteam

  • At 85.5 kg it is very hard to move.
  • The ECO cycle takes 239 min, close to four hours.
  • There is no unbalanced load detection or load balancing system.
  • There is no automatic dosing, so detergent is measured by hand.
  • Five temperature settings leave little room for fine control.

Verdict

The AEG LR7H116BY 7000 Series ProSteam is an advanced model with an 11 kg capacity and A energy class performance, consuming 53 kWh per 100 washing cycles. The washing machine reaches a maximum spin speed of 1600 rpm and includes seven speed options for added versatility. UniversalDose technology accelerates detergent activation by 60% using customised water jets, while Wi-Fi connectivity allows saving preferred programs via an app. Drawbacks include bulky dimensions with a depth of 63.6 cm and a substantial weight of 85.5 kg. The absence of features like self-cleaning and a load balancing system reduces ease of use, and temperature options are limited to five settings.
