That particular one is just an Indesit/Hotpoint I think

Therefore nothing but trouble. These seem to be extremely common machines around here, a number of my friends have them and they're always going wrong as you would expect!

The older margherita's of the 80's/90's were much better, pretty decent machines if I'm honest.

Will they launch the Ariston Cosmopolitan or The Ariston Sex on the Beach someday? LOL

My mothers friend has one and it is pretty good i must say.It spins very well at lower speeds and it washes and rinses great too!I think they look very nice.I dont like the look of the digital model though.

Ariston Washing on Daily Wash:

Ariston

I had the 1500 spin one for about a year from brand new. It washed rinsed and spun very well. However although mine didn't break under warranty they are known to be pretty unreliable with bearing failures and main board failures, plus the plastic worktops and facias were liable to crack on many of them. I've seen loads like that. So a pretty machine but have a tool kit handy. I'd still have one though! Its a nice design.

Good for the dump! If you take a stroll here in town there is avery good chance you can spot a margherita ariston near a trash can. A friend of mine saw his neighbour rushing its three years old margherita near the trash can and when the owner left he rescued it for me! it had the drum completely stuck! you could not move it at all! it turned out the gasket around the drum hole
apparently grew in size and completely blocked the drum movement. I decided to give it a chance and I replaced the door seal with an original spare part. After that I tested it for a while. It not only wasn't able to get rid of common stains, it banged loudly and moved like it was haunted when spinning. I also tried the famous cachemire cycle! Fantastic if you have to quickly whip up cream! I ended up giving it to a friend who after only two weeks got rid of the damn thing!
One day he came home and found the machine sitting on a side!!!
The drum was again stuck and he decided to quickly discard it!
Not bad for a three years old machine, uh?

powerstream

i'm pretty sure i've seen an ariston video on youtube that has the powerstream wash action, like the hotpoint WMA series.

 

[hooverkeymatic]

Yes.It is the Digital Model.It tumbles very slowly for some reason!My mams friend only ever uses Daily Wash or Delicates.

Powerstream

Yes my Arison had the powerstream wash action I had the A1535 model in 2004. It had 3 different wash rythems during the wash plus of course the wool wash with the long one way distribution wash seen on Hotpoints.

badge ?

Hey guys,
do you still have the separate 2 badges there ?
Here now is all double badged Ariston-Hotpoint instead of Ariston.

Marco, I guessed Ariston were slightly better than Indesit, Candy and Whirlpool, as the Margherita have double hinged doors (indesit have just one hinge).

 

[hooverkeymatic]

Ariston is only sold through a shop called Curry's here.Nobody else sells it.Nearly everyone sells Hotpoint and Indesit.

 

[bertrum]

total rubbish, flimsy Indesit electronics, hang on, whats that dial doing its moving on its own, oh just another stupid fault code. Start counting the flashing led's to work it out!

Wheres the dump?...
