What's an AEG UniversalDose washing machine?

An AEG UniversalDose washing machine has a separate compartment for detergent pods. You can use exactly the right amount of detergent and wash in a more sustainable way thanks to the pods. The detergent capsule dissolves better than in the drum, so you can also wash thoroughly at a lower temperature. Here, you'll read what AEG UniversalDose is and how this washing machine works.

UniversalDose: activates pods up to 60% faster

You can activate detergent pods up to 60% faster with an AEG UniversalDose washing machine. Normally, you'd add one detergent capsule to your laundry in the drum. With AEG UniversalDose, you put it in a separate compartment of the detergent drawer. To increase the washing performance, a powerful water jet sprays through the soap compartment. That way, the capsule will dissolve completely and the detergent better reaches the stains too, even at a low temperature. Besides pods, the washing machine is suitable for all types of detergent, powder detergent, and fabric softener.

More sustainable: up to 20% less packaging material

An important reason to choose AEG UniversalDose is that you can wash in a more sustainable way. You'll never use too much detergent, because every capsule has the right mount. The washing machines uses less energy to rinse out the detergent, which is why it has an A energy label. Besides, pods contain less water than regular, liquid detergent. This allows you to wash more thoroughly with less soap. Another nice thing is that 20% less packaging material is used than with a plastic bottle of liquid detergent.

Less maintenance: drawer remains clean

Another advantage is that you'll have less maintenance with AEG UniversalDose. The detergent drawer remains clean thanks to the water that rinses through the self-cleaning detergent drawer. Thanks to the round design, the water spins through the drawer. This prevents soap rests and musty smells. With AEG UniversalDose, your laundry will come out of the drum fresh every time.
