I’ve been using the Ariston MWA33B for a few weeks now, and honestly, I’m super impressed... It’s way more than just a microwave it feels like a… Read more
mini oven with all the functions packed into it. The 90 pre-set cooking modes are a lifesaver (seriously, no more guessing times), and the convection heating actually works really well. I’ve baked, roasted, reheated. All turned out great.
Build quality feels solid and premium, and it’s surprisingly quiet during use. Also, major shoutout to how easy it is to clean! That was a big plus for me. Definitely feels like a good value for money considering what it can do.

Using the Ariston MWA25B was a surprisingly enjoyable experience because it felt much more advanced than a standard microwave. The sleek black glass… Read more
finish immediately gave my kitchen a modern look, and the overall build quality felt solid and premium compared to cheaper countertop models. What stood out most was how versatile it became during everyday cooking. It was not just for reheating leftovers — it genuinely handled grilling, crisping, and quick meal preparation very well.
The feature I ended up using the most was the Dynamic Crisp function. Pizza slices, toasted sandwiches, potato wedges, and pastries came out crispy instead of soggy, which is usually the biggest weakness of microwaves. Reheating pizza almost felt like using a small oven because the crust stayed crunchy and the cheese melted evenly. Many users online also praised this crisping system and said it was one of the microwave’s best features.
I also appreciated how evenly the microwave heated food. Even though the unit is rated at 800W, which sounds lower than some competitors, it compensated with consistent heating and good cooking performance. Defrosting worked especially well for frozen meat and bread, and the automatic cooking programs were genuinely useful once I learned the controls. The grill mode was another pleasant surprise because it saved me from turning on a large oven for smaller meals.
The control panel took a little time to fully understand. There are many functions and preset programs, so the first few days involved experimenting and checking the manual. Once I got used to it, the interface became fairly intuitive, but it definitely has a learning curve compared to basic microwaves. Some owners also mentioned that the repeated end-cycle beeping could become annoying, and I can understand that complaint because the microwave is quite persistent with notifications.
Cleaning was easier than expected thanks to the Auto Clean steam feature. A quick steam cycle loosened food residue inside the cavity, making wipe-downs simple after messy cooking sessions. The included crisp plate and grill accessories also added value because they expanded what the microwave could do right out of the box.
Overall, the Ariston MWA25B felt like an excellent microwave for someone who wants more than simple reheating. It combines microwave convenience with grill and crisping performance that can genuinely replace an oven for many small meals. While it takes some time to learn all the functions, the versatility and cooking results make it a very satisfying appliance to use daily.

Dirty and noisy – Received this microwave from Catch.com it turned out to be a second hand unit that had been repaired by Ariston. It arrived dirty and stinking. It… Read more
looks like there was a fire inside the thing. Black marks on the inside that won't come off. It's also very noisy which makes me think that perhaps it hasn't been repaired correctly as most reviews say it's quite. First and last time I'll use Catch.com.
The perfect built in microwave and grill – The Ariston MN313IXA is the perfect built in microwave and grill. Seamlessly fits in with the kitchen cabinetry. Takes a week to get used to the button layout but once you do it’s super easy to use.

Both Ariston microwaves are rusting! I moved into a new build home. I live a quiet life alone. I have 2 of the same Ariston microwaves. The one… Read more
that's rusting the worst has only been used 3 times for warming plated meals with a cover on. I reported this to Harvey Norman, who gave me the email contact for Ariston. I emailed them with photos. The message was 'mail box is full' This happened 3 times despite being provided with alternate emails. Finally, they asked for more photos. I was asked how I cleaned them. "Nature's dishwashing liquid, a clean cloth & water." Answer - I should be using a steel cleaner. "I've used 3M once with no effect." No I should have been using their one, a picture was provided. They said the case was closed as I should have followed the guidelines! Correspondence took over 3 months! I looked at the manual - 'Clean with a damp cloth, pH-neutral detergent as required', no other information! The products were very expensive! THEY ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE, NOT OF ACCEPTABLE STANDARD! THE SERVICE WAS APPALLING! Now my Ariston extractor is not working! Only used 6 times. I was told that someone would contact me over a month ago! NEVER BUY ARISTON PRODUCTS!
