AEG 7000 SensiDry Heat Pump 8kg Tumble Dryer - White vs 8000 8kg Heat Pump Dryer - White — Comparison
The AEG TR708L0B 7000 SensiDry Heat Pump 8kg Tumble Dryer - White at £579 and the AEG TR818P4B 8000 8kg Heat Pump Dryer - White at £499 sit in AEG's tumble dryer line-up with different priorities. TR708L0B is the 7000-series SensiDry model focused on gentle heat-pump drying and load care, while TR818P4B is the cheaper 8000-series model, bringing AbsoluteCare branding into the comparison.
On the supplied specs, TR708L0B has an 8kg capacity, heat pump design, MixDry, SensiDry, ProSense+, Anti Crease+, A++ energy rating and a listed noise level of 66. TR818P4B also uses heat pump drying and lists delay start, sensor drying, AbsoluteCare, MixDry, A++ energy rating and a B noise rating. Capacity and energy rating are the same, so the choice is about care systems and price rather than drum size. The practical effect is the TR708L0B stresses SensiDry, ProSense+ and Anti Crease+, while the TR818P4B stresses AbsoluteCare, sensor drying and delay start for £80 less, so the dearer model only makes sense when that advantage will be used regularly.
TR708L0B suits buyers who prioritise AEG's SensiDry, ProSense+ load adjustment and Anti Crease+ for mixed wardrobes and delicate items. TR818P4B suits shoppers who want the 8000-series name, AbsoluteCare and sensor drying while spending less upfront. The price gap is £80 in favour of the TR818P4B, unusual because the 8000-series option is cheaper here, which matters when you are balancing upfront cost against weekly laundry volume, energy priorities and available space. For best value, choose the model whose extra feature you will use often, not simply the one with the longer specification list.
Bottom line: "choose TR708L0B if you specifically want SensiDry, ProSense+ and Anti Crease+ in an 8kg AEG heat pump dryer / opt for TR818P4B if AbsoluteCare, sensor drying and the lower £499 price make better sense."
