Advantages: Good washing Disadvantages: Only lasted 12 months
...Don't buy an Ariston
I've had this dishwasher for 13 months - it went wrong 1 week before the end of the 12month guarantee
It isn't very well made - and the tank leaks after a while as it is only sealed by a day to day sealant. This breaks down after a while and water leaks into the bottom of the dishwasher - it then blows tripswitches
My dishwasher engineer says this happens a lot with Aristons. They are difficult to fix because it is difficult to find the leak
Keep the filters VERY clean, but once it starts it will keep happening
You have to tip the dishwasher to the side, drain all the water and leave it for a minimum of 2 days to dry out
I've had enough
It's going for scrap...

Advantages: Good design.Easy to use Disadvantages: Found waste hose to short.
...Just purchased new W/D & well pleased. This is the third Ariston machine we have purchased & if it lasts as well as the last 2 i will be retiring before having to buy another(45yrs old now).The programmes are so easy to use that even i could work it out.Fast 1400 s/speed gets washing nearly dry to touch.Great options available, economy wash, half load, 30degree, etc....plus big 6kg load.....features that were only present on more expensive makes.It is also very very very quiet.
Only downside was that they had moved the waste hose to the opposite side of the machine so that i had to buy an extension kit to hook up to main waste..
We purchased from Currys online who were the best price & gave free delivery on a date chosen by myself, & even rang the day before as promised on the website to give a time slot...

Our washing machine is, without a doubt, the second hardest working thing in our house (after me, obviously..lol) so when our previous, and somewhat geriatric machine suddenly died on us without warning, a replacement was sought without delay.

We got this washer in around Febuary 2005, it's the model listed but says its 5KG + 5KG (some of them now are saying 6+6). The "P" at the end of the model is for Polar White - they also do... more
I'm not going to write an extremely long review, otherwise you would be here all day. This washing machine has been around for quite a while now, and is still going strong. I will give you the list of main features, but I'm sure the quality will speak... more
