Well I lived in a shared house some years ago that had an Ariston and it was a real workhorse. It had been there 4 years when I arrived and lasted a further 7 years. As you can imagine it was thoroughly abused by the many tenants and never broke down. Washed and rinsed well. Like wise the Candy BOL dishwasher which was put in at the same time (about 1997) and is STILL in daily use and the only thing wrong with it is the detergent dispenser is bust so you have to put the powder on the door.

You can get good and bad with every brand....
BUT, going from the Choice reliability ratings, Ariston is at the bottom of the ladder with well over 30% of respondants reporting faults in the previous 12months....
I wouldn't have one if you gave it to me....

Indesit should be ashamed of the quality of electronics they fit to these machines. As Bertrum says, they are absolutely apalling. They have just about the highest failure rate of any machine, even higher than Servis possibly?! Just looking at the machine in the wrong way can cause the electronics to fall over.
There should be some kind of minimum standard these things are built to. It's all very well having 'A' rated cycles but if they are only going to last a couple of years before scrapping, the environmental cost of producing the machines in the first place is shocking. It's far more environmentally friendly to get a 'D' rated machine that'll last 20 years in that respect.
Someone will be telling me how good 'Haier' is next.

Well your gonna laugh at this. My Hotpoint Aqualtis has now broke down, Hotpoint quoted me it would cost over £200 to repair. At moment money is tight, so I bought a Haier.
Up to know it seems to be ok. You can set a load level, and on full load it has deep rinses on cotton cycle.
Will let you all know if it does break down, lol.

Hi Guys.
Thanks for advice. I looked at Indesit machines, but they looked such poor quality. Also looked at Beko, once had a Beko dishwasher that only lasted 1 year as the pump had broken.
Gonna save up and buy either a Mile, my parents got one and is over 10 years old and never had any trouble with it, or the new Panasonic, as they look so good.
Costco have got Whirlpool machines in, and their front loader model is massive.
Anyway guys, thanks for advice, :-(.

Hotpoint Aqualtis
Hi Guys.
My door on my Hotpoint Aqualtis model AQXXF149PM is broken. Managed to get it back on, but the machine wont work as the display keeps on saying "door" and flashes all the time.
I know I can buy a new door from Hotpoint for about £117. Just wondered would it be easy to fit a new door on.
Also, has anyone seen the new Argos. Bush has a few washing machines in Argos and they look like Haier. Does Haier make Bush machines?

Hi paul,
Those doors on the aqualtis and extendia are connected by a cable which connects to the pcb through the side of the door hing, if you open the door you'll see this white cable, i believe it just connects straight through. dont quote me on it!!
Lol i've just been lookin in the new argos book and seen the haiers hiding under different names bush mainly and argos own make is now Haus instead of HEC...very dodgy, reminds me of dodgy back door companys who do midnight flits in the night and vanish lol.

I used to love the Indesit, but now hate them. I prefer to buy the Ariston, there is a good program.
Ariston Magherita 2000 is good too, as they have different types of drum rotation, and three distribution 90 rpm (like Hotpoint WMA series) but this is only on the Cotton programmes.
