AEG’s 7000 Series sits in the brand’s upper mid-range for laundry, pitched against other 8kg heat pump dryers from Bosch, Samsung and LG. The headline benefit is heat pump drying: it reuses warm air rather than blasting clothes with high heat, so you typically see lower running costs and less stress on fabrics than a conventional condenser or vented model.

Who is this dryer best suited to?

An 8kg drum makes sense for couples and small families, or anyone who wants to dry regular weekly loads without stepping up to a bulkier 9–10kg machine. AEG’s “SensiDry” approach focuses on gentler drying at lower temperatures, which can help reduce shrinkage and keep fibres from feeling rough over time. Do expect heat pump cycles to take longer than older high-heat dryers, but the trade-off is kinder treatment and improved efficiency.

• 8kg capacity — a sensible size for everyday mixed loads without dominating the utility space.
• Heat pump drying — lower-temperature operation that’s typically cheaper to run and gentler on clothes.
