Difference in user-friendliness
AEG 9000 AbsoluteCare: color retention and cleaner laundry
In addition to PowerCare for cleaner laundry, the 9000 series also has the AbsoluteCare technology. The washing machine has a salt compartment for special salt that softens the water. Your laundry will stay soft and retain its color better, because you filter harmful chemicals out. The 9000 series AbsoluteCare ensures that your laundry remains beautiful even longer. And you can wash half a drum in 49 minutes.
AEG 8000 PowerCare: cleaner laundry
With a washing machine from the 8000 series, you have PowerCare at your disposal. This technology ensures even cleaner laundry, because the detergent is dissolved in water beforehand and distributed over your laundry evenly. This way, you can also wash thoroughly at a low temperature and your clothes stay in good condition for longer. Within 59 minutes, you have half a drum of clean laundry. What this series doesn't have is the AbsoluteCare technology for color retention. The 9000 series does have this technology.
Difference in energy label
AEG 9000 series: A-30% energy label
If you're looking for the most energy-efficient washing machine of all the series, you're looking at the 9000 series AbsoluteCare. This washing machine has an A-30% energy label, so it allows you to save up to € 310 on your energy bill during its average lifespan. This based on 220 washing cycles per year. You don't just save a lot on energy costs, but also contribute to the environment because you consume less water and energy.
AEG 8000 series: A to A-20% energy label
A washing machine from the 8000 series PowerCare has an A to A-20% energy label. With an A-20% energy label, you save up to € 270 on your energy bill over the average lifespan. Even though you save slightly less than with the 9000 series AbsoluteCare, you can still wash very energy-efficiently with the 8000 series PowerCare.

AEG 8000 series: choose between 8 or 9kg
A washing machine of the 8000 series PowerCare is available with a load capacity of 8 or 9kg. You can wash small and medium-sized loads of laundry for 2 to 3 people with 8kg load capacity.
