Ariston ARMF125

Don't do it to yourself painful – Put it on Number 1 normal to heavy soild whites & resistant colours, was not dry 5hrs later on 11 cotton dry not even close to dry, by the time my clothes are dry everyone will be at home captain snoozing and I will be still waiting for my clothes to dry opps for this company. Show details

If I could give this a zero I would… – Basically the drier function is non existent! After trying 4 different ways I gave up and dried the traditional way after wasting a lot of time. There should be a class action against Ariston for making such a dud machine. One for Choice lemon award that’s for sure! Luckily I don’t own this machine and it was in an apartment is rented or it would have been thrown in the tip. Seems I am not the only one either….do NOT buy. Show details

Detergent Dispenser Drawer wont lock, Keeps popping out once machine is switch on – Is there anything I can do to stop the "Detergent Dispenser drawer from popping out. Im just concern now coz my baby is touching everything now and the dispenser cant be locked. Show details

Best Washing Machine I have ever used. Love it – I bought the Ariston ARMF125 washing machine/dryer. I wash all sorts of clothing from delicates to very soiled clothing. The features and controls are fantastic - choosing which program you want and the temperature - It is just so easy to use. Where you put the washing liquid and fabric softener is a great compartment. It swings out wide so… Read more

you can easily access it and you can remove it easily for further cleaning. I love the 15 minute cycle and the 30 minute cycle. The fact that it is a washing machine/dryer is great as it has saved so much space in my new apartment in the laundry. I am really happy with this machine and would recommend it to anyone.

Ariston 8kg Front loader Machine – When we decided to buy another washing machine I really wanted something easy to operate less water with a good star rating. After speaking to the sales lady Kate at Harvey Norman at Lakehaven NSW we where really surprised on the workmanship and the 5 year warranty. I'm really amazed on how clean my cloths are coming out …And happy with no… Read more

movement and low noise .I've downsized from at 10 kilo to an 8kilo and that was my concern … But my washing amount has not changed and wow my queen size blanket washed amazingly. I'm really Happy with my Ariston Purchase. Deborah Blue Haven

Doesn’t dry – Stayed in accommodation that has this washer dryer. Dried clothes for 4 hours and they are still sopping wet. This is the worst dryer ever there should be a class action since everyone has the same problem

Useless dryer – This washing combo was in an apartment I was staying in for 2 nights Washing function great. 30 minute wash all good. Dryer function non existent. 4 hours ridiculous and still not dry.

Does not dry – This combo, a washer- dryer is poor on both fronts, when washing, and when drying. In our building, every apartment is serviced with this combo and not even one of us was able to successfully use the dryer function. The clothes are out of the machine warm and dump. pointless.

Do Not Buy. Worst Machine Ever – Unfortunately, this is the unit that came with the apartment that we're renting, so we had no choice but to use this. We're the first renters of this unit as the building is new, so we're also the first users. We've been here a little over a year when the first problems came up. Last april, the pump broke already and it took over a month to get it… Read more

replaced. Arisit, the retailer in australia, has the worst customer service, so not only does the item malfunction easily, you'll also need to deal with rude customer service agents. It is august now, only a few months after the first issue arose, and the machine decided to stop-mid cycle. It turned off on its own and locked the door. I could not turn the machine back on, and my clothes were still wet inside. I reported the issue immediately to the customer service number, and I was just referred to the repair service number (without asking for details of the issue). The repair service provider just told me to call the customer service again as a new job order needed to be put. The same customer service agent, janet, answered my call and when asked (again) when I purchased it, I said it came with the apartment, and without hearing further details, she said that it is already out of warranty. She said I need to e-mail them with a proof of purchase or proof that the item is still within warranty, then they'll get back to me within 3 business days. Three business days of my clothes inside their stupid machine. Very helpful!

Aside from these issues, though, the dryer does not dry out clothes well. Because it uses water, the clothes turn out damp after running a dryer cycle unless you do the full 6-hour one. So, please take my advice and do not purchase this product.

Great family addition – We wash a family of fours washing regularly, work clothes, uniforms, delicates, blankets and sheets. I can find a setting for most of my needs, the sanitary setting is amazing. My favourite is the 30 min wash- and it actually is 30 mins. It manages to wash all delicates with care and come out beautiful.  Show details

Worst combo ever – As a washing machine it is great.the dryer is shocking.nothing ever Dries.we got this combo as a replacement to our washer that had corroded in a short period of time to save space and it was a waste of money.i want a dryer that dries completely not one that pumps water into it and leaves them steaming and wet.its ridiculous.will have to buy a single drier to sit on top again.  Show details

Staying in accommodation that has this machine it’s a joke won’t dry clothes properly at all – What a stupid machine waste of everybody’s time to be an all in one washer/dryer is not drying clothes at all. When you press dry you expect dry... please don’t bother as I have wasted most of my precious holidays trying to dry our clothes & it doesn’t work! Buy a dryer & a washing machine does it 90% faster than this.  Show details

Pointless dryer component – I have just bought a house with the Ariston combination washer and dryer in it. I believe it's 2-3 years old. It's very complicated to use even though I found instructions on internet. I find most of the cycles too long. The biggest disappointment is the dryer. It takes 2-3 hours and still not totally dry. Yes I'm not overloading the dryer. No… Read more

point having the dryer component if it doesn't work well. Will probably have to buy something else unless anyone can suggest I'm doing something wrong.

Disappointing lifespan – Cleans well, drys fine for what we need, doesn’t wear out the clothes We moved into a unit so I thought I’d give my LG front loader (about 8 years old) to my daughter and I would upgrade to the Ariston. The LG is soldering on like a champ and my Ariston sounds like we’ve moved to the airport! I’ve apologised to our neighbors for the noise. … Read more

Also the door jams 50% of the time. It blew a fuse which Ariston repaired free of charge - which was good as it was actually out of warranty.

So after 41/2 years of average use the Ariston has blown a fuse, the door jams and the bearings or belt or what is is causing the noise are wearing out.

That’s a very disappointing life span!

I think I’ll go back to LG. Sorry Ariston, the quality just isn’t there.

almost 5 years old and going strong – I absolutely love this washing machine. In the 5 years the locking mechanism went bad though.. i was able to get a replacement part which was so much better built and was easy to replace. It has so many wash cycles for big loads.. I can cram tons of clothes in and then run through both wash and dry cycle.. works great  Show details ·  1

Ok brand can give you grief if you move houses – When it was new I use to love it cleans very well so it's nearly 5 years now and it's no good at all.. it doesn't wear out clothes but leaving the stamping from the bowl of the machine.. it was very quite before we moved houses now the whole neighbourhood can come to your place, haven't diagonisedvtge problem yet I contacted them but haven't heard… Read more

Good thing is that they have 5 year warranty which help hoping they can fix it or replace

Favourite features are ironing, silk & bed & bath

I actually quite like the brand when I bought it at first

Cheap but not worth it – I really liked the idea of a front-loader and combo machine after moving to an apartment without a laundry and while this machine was a good compact size I had to take it back after a few weeks. Extremely noisy, poorly built and feels cheap & nasty. Wasn't impressed with the wash quality and found the control panel quite complicated to use as well.  Show details

Ok for small space – I bought this machine as I wanted to save space and in my unit. Fairly good washing machine and ok dryer. It is quite in the night mode and hardly heard anything when set up in night mode. Was fairly satisfied, but the washing especially for stained clothes was not up to scratch. Some times the clothes would still come out with minor marks of… Read more

the stains. So overall would just give it average ratings but if you are looking to keep in your chic apartment, this might do the job, Experience of using it for more than 2 years.

WARNING WARNING WARNING – A CON....from the outset. Despite having had an earlier model which didnt stop for ten years. Now it seems that Ariston (Indesit group of washers) have BUILT IN OBSOLESCENCE. What is more, they fault code it to look like it is one (simple) thing when it is probably another. Having a coded eprom might make it possible for them to use the same… Read more

electronic pcb in many of their makes and models, but it means that replacing it costs us twice. 1st for the pcb and then nearly as much for the eprom coding. RIPPED OFF.

So thanks for nothing.

Have a funny smell and quite loud – I had this for almost 4 years now. It cleans quite well but it is also loud, so don't turn it on at night. It does have funny smell when I use the dryer, but I am not sure it happens for all the dryer-washing machine combo or only this particular one.  Show details

run...RUN...then RUN – My sister bought this machine for me. She's wealthy and thought buying one of the most expensive machines in Harvey Norman would be a safe & reliable machine for me. I haven't told her of the many issues I had with my Ariston but finally, after only less than 2 years, the machine died. I raced to The Good Guys and got myself a great SIMPSON. Ariston - RUN ladies RUN RUN RUN  Show details

Terrible! Have been waiting over a month for repair – I have been waiting for over a month for repairs on my 6 month old washing machine the time frame they originally gave me for a spare part was 5 days and it took two weeks when they finally came to fix the machine they needed another part... one again two weeks later and still waiting. No one has called to update me I have had to call every week a… Read more

couple of times a week and explain my situation to a different person each time! It is becoming a joke!

Broke down on first wash – Nice looking and compact unit. Easily fits under the counter and inline with the cabinetry. Broke down on the very first wash. Locked clothes in the soapy water until we disconnected from electricity. Have been trying to get a service person in there for nearly 3 weeks now. Ariston is unresponsive and has only 1 authorized repair service for the entire NYC. The problem is still unresolved and Ariston is doing nothing. Do not buy!  Show details

Brand new and is very noisy – Bought new, first wash and it sounds like it is going to fall apart when on the spin cycle. Very noisy, I had a ariston washer not combo, it was not this noisy. I would bring it back if I had a choice. I dont believe that it should make that much noise. It even vibrates that much that the washing powder dispenser opens.  Show details

Need help please – Hi, on setting 4 and 5 it takes longer than the 15 and 30 min wash. What am I doing wrong please. Show details
