AEG 5000 TXH508A4R review
8 kg heat pump · freestanding · white
Editorial review Reviewed 6 November 2026 How we assess products
The AEG 5000 TXH508A4R makes a case for moving up from a basic condenser when the dryer runs several times a week. Its automatic cotton programme is rated at 1.93 kWh for a full load and 1.08 kWh at half load. Plan for up to 662 mm depth before fitting clearances, and use the reversible door to suit your room. The full standard cotton cycle is rated at just under three hours. At 66 dB on the energy label, think about when you’ll run it if the dryer sits near the living area. The manual warns that large sheets can finish with damp patches. Check the middle and use timed drying or a drier setting if needed.
