Old Ariston's (Quadrifoglio and Margherita)

[ariston4life]

Hi everyone...still on my never ending quest to find my beloved childhood Ariston machine from 1990-1998, still cant get over the fact that it was thrown away simply because the door fell off, should have just replaced the door, anyway its 13 years gone this year and i still miss it, and im still looking for 1, only problem is i dont remember the model number nor have i seen any that are the exact same as the one i had, ive seen plenty similar but not the same. hopefully one day i may find one, if anyone here knows of the the machine im talking about could you please shed some info on it. this machine is similar to mine but not the same, ours had 1 dial and one flick switch like the picture but it had the curved door instead of the square one in the below picture, it also had a different dispenser draw, the same seen on margherita models of the same year (1990).

I think......

I mentioned before about the Ariston I bought my Mum in 1987, it was similar to the 1st picture apart form it had a brown facia, round door (with plastic glass) and two switches but the symbols, dial and style of switches were the same. My mum is a bit of a hoarder so asked her if she still had the manual for it, alas it is one of the few things she threw out!

i recall you mentioning it....thanks for asking anyway...hopefully someone has seen my machine or at least as some details on it....any other machine i could mention on here and everyone would know it and have details on it...no one seems to know or remember my mystery model Ariston.

Not exactly the same machine, but there is a Blue Air in this video. Ariston machines were sold under the Blue Air label in the Netherlands. You can see it from 9.00 in the video.
