AEG 8KG Lavamat Series 8000 Protex Plus Washing Machine L87480FL 2017

Phenomenal top of the range AEG series 8000 washing machine with every feature including steam. In perfect working order. Quiet, reliable, zero hassle. Scroll down for the blurb from manufacturer.

This machine has served us well in my home and I’m reluctant to get rid of it but I’ve taken all my Miele machines from my old studio and so have to let go of one of them.

The only issues with it are cosmetic, some of the paint has come off the front showing the metal body (see below) and there is a small dent at front bottom right above drain drawer. I’ve attached a close up image showing all known areas where this has happened (there’s three). This could be touched up but I didn’t want to conceal the issue.

All parts and accessories still available relatively inexpensively from AEG Electrolux, from a replacement front panel to a microplastics filter, so you can rest assured (links at bottom).

Now this machine was a trade show display model and has some unusual features. Basically instead of a normal washing machine metal body it has a totally transparent body and LED red lighting so you can see all the internals working. This worked when we got the machine in late 2018 (I believe this is a 2017 model year). The two images against brown cabinets are from when machine was new so you can see how it lights up if you wanted to re-enable that.
