Tumble Dryer Noise Levels
Although not as noisy as AEG and MIELE washing machines, tumble dryers produce noise during a drying cycle. This is because of AEG TR718A4B and MIELE TWH780 WP drum rotation, motor operation, air flow, and vibrations. Also, the moisture content, type of material, and improper dryer installation can impact noise levels from your Aeg or MIELE machine.
The 7000 SensiDry TR718A4B by AEG has a 67 db sound emission rating, compared to the EcoSpeed TWH780 WP which produces 64 dB – a sound level difference of 3 dB.

- MIELE TWH780 WP Noise Emissions: 64dB
Comparing AEG and MIELE Weight Load Capacity
AEG and MIELE are rated with a drum load weight capacity of 8 kilogramme and 9 kilogramme, which limits the amount of dry laundry they can handle per cycle.

Staying within these weight limits ensures optimal drying, reduced drying times, and prevents overload damage of your Aeg or Miele heat pump dryer.

Choosing Between Miele and Aeg Tumble Dryer
There’s little reason to recommend the Miele over the Aeg, as the differences between the EcoSpeed 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.
That said, we currently recommend the Hisense 3 Series heat pump tumble dryer over both the MIELE EcoSpeed and the AEG 7000 SensiDry, as it offers a more compelling balance of performance, features, user-feedback, and value.
