I'm in the UK. I reviewed this tumble dryer as a non-buyer on 9 November 2018, when I had refrained from purchasing one due to the lack of technical information available on the AEG website - specifically the physical positioning of the outlet vents and the space required behind the tumble dryer. Also, despite several attempts, I had persistently failed to get through by telephone to anyone at AEG Customer Services to discuss the design features. Having researched other manufacture's vented tumble dryers, I finally concluded that the choice of three vent outlet positions offered by the AEG T65170AV tumble dryer gave it the edge over the competition and the best chance of fitting into the limited space in my utility area. Inspired by a special offer price, I ordered an AEG T65170AV tumble dryer online just after Christmas. The AEG T65170AV tumble dryer appears to be very well made and it is reasonably quiet, especially when compared with my outgoing Creda tumble dryer that easily drowns out both conversation and the kitchen radio. Clothes are dried very well and the lady of the house is very impressed. However, there is one problem with the AEG design that may or may not affect the installation of the vent hose. For me it is a serious problem as I have a fitted wall vent into which the vent hose has to connect. My wall vent has a compact threaded adaptor that screws (anti-clockwise) onto a 4"/100mm vent hose. I've owned a lot of tumble dryers over the years and without exception the vent hoses have always been manufactured with a left-hand threaded spiral. Not so the AEG T65170AV tumble dryer! The AEG tumble dryer vent hose is manufactured with a right-hand threaded spiral. Consequently I cannot connect the AEG vent hose to my wall vent. I've searched online and I have visited all my local retailers of vent hose connectors. Without exception, everything is manufactured for left-hand threaded vent hoses. I cannot swap out the AEG right-hand threaded vent hose for a left-hand threaded vent hose because then I couldn't make the connection to the unique right-hand threaded AEG adaptor that clips into the tumble dryer vent. AEG's decision to supply a right-hand threaded vent hose has turned what should have been a quick and simple installation procedure into a problem that I have yet to resolve. It looks like I shall have to splice a length of left-hand threaded hose onto a length of AEG's right-hand threaded hose using an inline slip connector. Incidentally, for those interested, this tumble dryer does in fact have a desirable stainless steel drum. I'm surprised that AEG don't mention this as a selling point.
