Choosing Between Sharp and Aeg Tumble Dryer

There’s little reason to recommend the Sharp over the Aeg, as the differences between the Freestanding 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 SHARP Freestanding and the AEG 7000 SensiDry, as it offers a more compelling balance of performance, features, user-feedback, and value.
