Lee, Nunhead, London

+ 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 !!!

- 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.

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.

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

- 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.

- 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.

- 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
