Difference in technique between the 9000 and 8000 series
AEG 9000: suitable for drying all laundry simultaneously
Like an AEG 8000 model, 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. If 1 item of clothing is more humid than another, the dryer adjusts the heat distribution. That means you won't need to sort everything before you put it in the drum.
AEG 8000: suitable for all laundry
If you want to dry your woolen sweater or silk blouse, the AbsoluteCare technology will benefit you. With it, the dryer adjusts its drum motions and rotation speed to the type of laundry, so your clothes retain their shape and don't wear as much. With a silk cycle, the drum slowly rotates to the left and right. This reduces creases, 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 over 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 model.
AEG 8000: saves A++ or A+++ energy label
Among the AEG 8000 series, there are dryers with an A++ or A+++ energy label. Choose an energy-efficient appliance with A+++ energy label to save energy. An A+++ moel saves €1545 on average of its entire lifespan. This is the estimate compared to a model with a B energy label. The estimation is based on an 8kg model 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 an 8kg model. 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 an 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.
