Choosing Between Candy and Aeg Tumble Dryer

There’s little reason to recommend the Candy over the Aeg, as the differences between the Rapido and the 7000 SensiDry are relatively modest. Choosing between the two often comes down to personal preferences, such as noise, styling, load size, and unique features.
