And On And On And On And On - Ariston 950XD

[aquarius1984]

Bit more good luck saw us with another new machine to add to the collection today.

Only needed a wash down to remove some grime of the years.

Not sure of its date, Which? magazine machine testing dates similar models around 1980-84.

Clone of the Colston it is the Ariston 950XD.

800rpm Washer Dryer

So quiet to wash and spin, runs like a dream on the whole except for a few squeaks from the belt occasionally.

Any questions fire away and we will try to answer them.

Heres the pics!

Shame the new ones here have such a dreadful reputation

I had same machine

I had the exact same machine 11 years ago, done a brilliant wash only thing i found to be a pain was when the dryer was on it vented from the back an you had to move machine out plus there was the fluff filter to keep clean on back and i always forgot lol looks like you have one in reaaly good condition an will prob another 25 years
