Difference in technology between the 9000 and 8000 series
AEG 9000: suitable for drying all laundry simultaneously
Like an AEG 8000 dryer, the 9000 series adjusts its drum movement to the type of laundry. That way, your clothes look good for longer. Besides AbsoluteCare, the 9000 series also has AbsoluteCare. This is a humidity sensor that measures which parts of your laundry are the most humid up to 10cm deep. If 1 item of clothing is more humid than another, the dryer adjusts the heat distribution. That way, even your bedding and down jackets dry evenly.
AEG 8000: suitable for all laundry
If you want to dry your wool sweater or silk blouse, the AbsoluteCare technology will benefit you. With this, the dryer adjusts its drum movement and rotation speed to the type of laundry. This way, your clothes retain their shape and don't shrink. With a silk cycle, the drum slowly rotates to the left and right. This reduces wrinkles and you won't need to worry about wear.
Difference in energy consumption between the 9000 and 8000 series
AEG 9000: A+++ energy label (energy-efficient)
The 9000 series has an A+++ energy label by default and is very energy-efficient. Let's say the heat pump dryer lasts 10 years. You'll save € 1150 on average during the entire lifespan of the appliance. This is the estimate compared to a condenser dryer with a B energy label, and it's based on an 8kg dryer.
AEG 8000: saves € 1300 to € 1545
Among the AEG 8000 series, there are dryers with an A++ or A+++ energy label. Choose an energy-efficient dryer with A+++ energy label to save energy. An A+++ dryer saves € 1150 on average during its entire lifespan. This is the estimate compared to a condenser dryer with a B energy label. The estimation is based on an 8kg dryer that lasts 10 years on average. If you choose an A++ model, it's not an energy-efficient dryer.
Difference in load capacity between the 9000 and 8000 series
AEG 9000: only 8kg
The 9000 series by AEG currently only has a dryer with an 8kg load capacity. This allows you to dry large loads of bedding for 2 or 3 people in addition to your regular loads. Do you have a large family, or do you like to pile up your laundry? Chances are the drum fills up quickly and you have to dry multiple times.
AEG 8000: ranges from 8 to 9kg
When you buy an AEG 8000 dryer, you can choose between 8 or 9kg load capacity. If you choose 8kg load capacity, the drum is large enough for regular and larger loads of 2 to 3 people. When you choose an 8000 dryer with 9kg load capacity, it's suitable for large loads of laundry. For example, the clothes of an entire week, a load of bedding, or large fabrics like curtains.
