+ Stylish, Unusual powder drawer as doesn't pull out straight!!! Excellent instructions on discreet tray above powder drawer. Dials for changing, spin speeds, temps and programmes etc neatly push into fascia. Great choice/range of programmes
- Spin cycle bit noisy and cycle times longer than usual unless you use programmes with only half spin cycles but this defeats 1600rpm capacity, therefore need to spin seprately for better drying times!!!
Very good all round machine. Very pleased with product. Consider to be best in range at time on overall specifications and price

+ Ariston have akways been reliable with our last one lasting 10 years.
- Weakness on door lock sticking making it hard to close door sometimes. This has now been fixed by an engineer.
This a great buy and could not get a better deal even though I worked in a large retailer that sold washing machines and was entitled to a staff discount !!!

Donna, Ashford, Kent
+ smart looking machine, easy to use, exceptional value for money
- noisier than my last Ariston when it's on a spin but you get use to it.
you can't beat Ariston, we had our last one for 11 years and it was still working although it had a noisy bearing.wouldn't buy anything else!

+ The machine has a good range of wash cycles
- Some of the average washes seem excessively long
Had a problem with the machine within a couple of weeks of purchase. The Block inside the machine hadn't been secured properly. An engineer came very quickly and fixed the problem within minutes.

+ good quiet machine
- none
value for money

Kieron, Telford
+ Triple A rated with useful features like delayed cycle start
- The draining hose has a proprietary fitting at the machine end so it's difficult to fit a generic hose if you need a longer one. Reliability may be an issue as a friend also has this machinbe but has experienced several problems.
This is an effiecient and user friendly machine at a reasonable price.

Nicola, Middlesex
+ Good selection of programmes, temp and spin settings. Good size drum and door. Soap tray opens to side which makes easier use.
- None.
Very very pleased with this machine.

Peter, Gillingham
+ Nice "clean" fascia, 1600 rpm spin speed, programme guide concealed under powder drawer, AAA efficiency
- Some programmes take slightly longer than would have preferred
A high quality machine at an "average" machine price. I believe the good price was due to the Ariston name disappearing

+ A GOOD OVERALL WASHING MACHINE AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE WELL WORTH BUYING

VERY GOOD THE ONLY THING WAS I PURCHASED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AN ARISTON DISHWASHER TO GO WITH THE WASHING MACHINE BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT SHADES OF SILVER WHICH NOW LOOKS A BIT ODD

+ Very easy to program. Fast Spin speeds, rapid wash in only 30 minutes.
- No bad points found so far.
Did not realise Ariston were offering a free 2nd year warranty if product was registered within 28 days.

+ good size of door for loading washing, easy to programme for washing, and excellent results even on low temp washes.
- nothing bad to say about the machine.
this is the 1st ariston product i have bought and will look to them again when i need another product. the machine is very quiet even on the fastest spin, and has been a dream to use.

Jenny, Harpenden
+ Efficient, easy to use and not as noisy as some. Excellent value!
- I have to move my laundry basket a bit to open the door......
Buy one, you won't regret it. I wouldn't swop for a machine that cost twice the price.

Sue, Swansea, South Wales
+ It looks good, the short programme is excellent, it doesn't rip my clothes when I do a pre-wash as my last machine did.
- Can't think of any.
I have the two of these machines now, I bought my first in Turkey to use out there, was so impressed I bought another here to replace my fairly new machine, which was useless.

Julie, Luton
+ Runs fairly quietly
- Obscure method to operate...to turn it on for instance you have to press two buttons after selecting your wash programme..why?
A reasonable machine at a reasonable price...does the job.

+ very quiet, washing comes out almost dry at high spin speed
- clock showing length of time left in clycle would be useful
very hapy with choice

+ Cold Water Fill and washing guide connected to soap tray dispenser
- Unable to determine at what point of the cycle the machine is at.
I would rate it 6 out of 10. It is important to be able to know when the programme will finish
