Ariston CP859MTX

Flawed unfortunately – Gas top with 5 drivers is excellent. However, oven door HINGES and seal replaced twice in 8 years I've owned it(1st time-within a year) $400 each time. Both times didn't last longer than a week. Lived with oven door not closing properly, but now, the escaping heat has burnt out oven setting buttons and clock, causing spark. Turned off its electricity and am buying new stove. Oh and SELF cleaning ? Haha  Show details

Great stove, very happy with it – Love cooking on this gas stove, the oven cooks great, the only issue I have with this stove is the stainless steel top is soft and scratches easily, the cast iron trivet has a chip on it and the oven is a little loud. If you can live with this the stove/oven is fantastic.  Show details

Once again another BAD REVIEW – Do not buy this Brand at all - seals broken on oven door - grill doesn't work and now the oven fails to heat - blew safety switch on the house - called Arisit - absolutely useless customer service apparently under warranty (means nothing) keep being told a technician has been contacted (I haven't heard from one) called Arisit again (who seems… Read more

annoyed to even have customers?) wouldn't listen to what I had to say (useless Warranties Receptionist) - so I had to ring Telefix (Adelaide) who apparently is their chosen Technician - put on hold as soon as the phone is answered (twice) firstly for 22 minutes (I hang up) second time I rang same again - Telefix Receptionist then proceeds to tell me - yes we are waiting on parts 1-2 days (wth - how do they know what parts - they haven't even looked at it yet?) she didn't even ask my name? I know it was just their standard fob off answer - I know I'm being lied to - geez - took my number and tells me they will ring me in a couple of days? - really? I ring Arisit AGAIN to be told - they will have to email Telefix as no parts have been ordered - surprise, surprise! Meanwhile...

November 7th 2017 Update: Arisit or Telefix - still getting the run a round

Still no word from Telefix to fix (under warranty) my Ariston oven - Arisit says parts have been sent 5 days ago yet a Telefix is awaiting parts? That's if you can get through to Telefix on the phone - straight away once phone is answered your placed on hold for 20 minutes or more? Arisit you need to get another repairer organised for your customers in Adelaide- this is ridiculous!

Same problems as others – The oven door doesn't close properly, wasting a lot of energy (ie money). We have had the stove about 7 years and the rubber seal on the door has broken twice. Needless to say, no interest from Ariston in replacing it free. And a new one cost $67 including GST and postage!! For a piece of shaped rubber that will likely break again. I won't buy another Ariston product, full-stop.  Show details

Stove ok; door will not close – We have been living in a house with this stove for a couple of years and we've never been able to really assess the performance of this stove. The reason is that the door will not close. Curiously we have friends who own the same product and they have the same problem. Further to this we do have problems with timer, but we have had to live with that.  Show details

Door hinge broken – So upset with this oven the door doesn't close properly & never has no one wants to know about it. How can u cook in this oven with the door open?? So upset I will never buy this brand of oven again. I thought I was buying the best oven.  Show details

Bad ariston – We purchased an 800cm freestanding electric oven, gas hop, ariston model, I have to agree with the top comment, the door won't close. Ariston doesn't want a bar of it, it is worthless. Don't buy an ariston people look at other models please. The top element has gone, the fan doesn't seen to want to move of its own accord. Very disappointing.

This is a piece of JUNK – Like most other people there are few choices for a 800mm oven so we settles on the Ariston CP859, well what a piece of junk, After 12 months, the door won't close properly, the timer doesn't work, the thermostat in oven is 40 degrees out, and the hot air (by design) which comes out of the top of the oven door had been recorded at 48 degrees so… Read more

if you cook anything for any period of time the dials become so hot you cannot touch them. Ariston service well I get a better response from my dog or cat, at least they listen. Would I buy another, you have to be joking. Move away from the the Ariston............move far away.

Piece of junk – I also have this model oven and it's a piece of junk. Ariston service is non existent, their tech department useless. the oven door hinges seized 6 months after it was installed and at great expense have now been replaced 3 times and all have failed, leaving the door virtually unusable. The door has dropped and is now so out of alignment it leaves… Read more

a huge gap at the top and will not close which allows hot air to escape heating the above dials to almost untouchable and erasing all signage. The last technician we had into fix it says the door is poorly designed and too heavy for the hinges, which result in the hinges crushing under the weight. Ariston do not want to know about the problems and ignore all request for repair, explanations or responsibility and in fact will not address the issue at all. Do not buy this brand oven.

Great cooking – The Ariston CP859MTX is making baking cakes and cooking roasts a pleasure, roast meats are mouthwatering and just does a superb job of baking any cake, my most memorable cake was our beautiful rich fruit Christmas cake. The normal fan force operation would be my main favourite. Our thermostat failed, the service from Ariston was great, it was up… Read more

and running in no time.

December 5 2018

I still stand by my comments about The Ariston CP859MTX door seals are still original and it still behaves as it did when new, the thermostat replacement is still good, I give the stove top marks for all the things I mentioned when I did my first review

Waiting for answers! – I have owned this model for over 5 years. I needed an 800 wide oven to fit into the opening left by a previous (other make) cooker. The oven has and still does bake really well, although I've found it a noisy cooker, even when not in fan-forced mode. Oven bulbs blew in the first six months, and the piezo ignitions on the stove top sometimes work… Read more

and sometimes not. Just outside the warranty period, the Oven temperature light has stopped working, and a tech guy (not from Ariston), reckoned that the piece that holds the bulb has melted and therefore dropped. To see if the oven has reached temperature, I have to look between the crack in the stainless steel join to see if the light is still on or not.

A few months ago...it became impossible to open the door, as the hinges had seized. so I purchased replacement hinges from an appliance spares place. Whilst the replacement hinges appeared to be the same as the ones we were replacing, these new hinges wouldn't close the door completely, nor keep it open at right angles, enabling me to insert or remove the food easily. I put up with this problem. although have burned my wrists several times.

Now, one of the replacement hinges has seized, and in removing the door from the oven, the inside of the door has buckled, meaning that a whole new door is required.

Do you think I can get an answer from Ariston, about whether or not I can get a complete new door, fully assembled, so I can keep this going for a while longer? the answer is no. I have phoned twice, I have emailed, and I am appalled that I am told they will get back to me once the tech department gets back to the receptionist. How hard can it be for them to ring a department within the same company to give me the answer I need. I think she must be waiting for a call from Italy, where they are made.

I'm tired of this planned obsolescence...where things seem to go wrong just outside of warranty, and replacement parts are difficult to source or so expensive that it isn't worth the bother. At least the hob still works, but the oven for me at the moment is useless without a door!

I would advise that if you want a cooker to last or be able to be maintained...stay away from a European model, or be prepared to replace the whole darn thing every 4 years or so. And if your building a new home or renovating your kitchen...don't put in an 800mm wide model, go for 900mm as you have more choice of manufacturers, and not be stuck with Ariston or Ilve. If the company chooses to not give me an answer I will renovate the whole kitchen and replace with Westinghouse, manufactured here in Australia.

Very happy – Bought Ariston CP859MTX 80 cm cooker 3 weeks ago, very happy with cooking aspect and the stylish model has lifted my kitchen area. I agree with previous reviewer about top element inside oven being too close to front of door, I also burnt my hand and this needs to be looked at. All in all a great cooker, easy to clean and the oven settings are… Read more

accurate. Was nervous about cooker being stainless steel and scratching surfaces but have soft cloths for cleaning and no problem

800mm Beauty! – Looking for weeks to find a good 800mm size upright cooker. CP859MTX came to the party, and it can cater for a party too. All features cook well and the unit is very easy to keep clean.

Great stove – I really love my new Ariston 80 cm stove. Have cooked quiet a few things in the oven using two trays at the one time and they both turn out beautifully coloured and perfectly cooked. Gas hot plates are a bit slower than my last stove but will just be a case of getting used to it. The top hob is easy to clean. Very happy !

Great Oven but – Great oven temp is accurate. Only pitfall is the griller setup that uses the standard oven rack as the griller tray. Strange set up and not good to clean:(. This can be fixed by providing a standard griller tray. Thanks Ariston for everything else in this oven cook top !

A hardy 'professional styled' cooker for the home – The 80cm Professional Upright Cooker from Ariston is everything it's name implies. With sturdy, stainless steel construction combined with stylish looks, this cooker performs as good as it's pleasing to the eye. To use so far, the gas cooktop is everything one would expect from a 'professional styled' cooker that's designed for the home. The cast… Read more

iron grilles are sturdy, rustic and easy to remove for cleaning. The electric oven boasts a range of settings for roasting/fan-forced cooking/grilling/self-cleaning and is easy to use. All considered, this product is a winner. Italian manufactured with sturdy, stylish and functional design makes this oven a practical addition to the home kitchen. The only thing wrong with it, is that the top element inside the oven is too close to the opening, making it easy to sear yourself when it's on. This is a major design flaw that should be considered by Ariston. Some kind of guard in front of the elelemen would have made this oven perfect.

A great oven – Purchased my new oven about 4 weeks ago knowing it was a good brand and have found it fantastic. The only issue and it may be a standard thing but the gas fittings did not come with the oven so had to then go search for them but once it was up and running it's been superb. Heats super quickly. Again one small point to note be careful when moving… Read more

the cast iron plates to clean as they do scratch quite easy I haven found this with other ovens. All in all very pleased with my purchase and feel extra confident with a 5 year warranty. Great looking great brand Scratches very easy no gas attachments included

So far So good – Have only had the unit 2 weeks and it has delivered what it promised. Bread baking is successful with accurate temperature controls. the 5 year warranty is a bonus and we hope that we will never call on it Solidly built with good steel knobs for a change. The hobs are strategically placed to minimize splashing Build and warranty

Fantastic no waiting around like most electric ovens you can cook straight away! – This was bought as replacement for our old CP 858 MTX who sadly died after 14 years so faithful service. We'd shopped around but found this was still the best on the market for us in this price range :) and the only one out there with a 5 year warranty. Can cook straight away if you have it on the right setting Nothing so far!

Ariston CP 859 MTX – So happy to have found the Ariston 800mm upright cooker. We purchased the cooker and Ariston rangehood from Harvey Norman at a reasonable price to suit our budget. The cooker is very user friendly, easy to clean and looks amazing in my kitchen. I am able to cook absolutely anything my heart desires with fantastic results. I am totally loving it :))

Excellent product – I am very happy with my new ariston cooker , I love the cast iron trivets and the central wok burner which is the same configuration as my last oven a lofra which fell to pieces recently! The oven space is smaller than the lofra because of the self cleaning lining , but it is plenty big enough for our small family. I have cooked everything from… Read more

roasts to friands without a hiccup. The minor complaints are the oven racks which requires two hands to slide in out to make sure it goes in and out smoothly . And in my kitchen I have no bench space on the RHS so I would have preferred my large burner to the right as I use it the most. It looks smart and the self cleaning liners are great

Very Happy – Not the easiest thing to find - an 800mm quality upright cooker at a reasonable price but so far so good with this one. Cooks well and cleans well. Was puzzled by some reviews stating that oven was noisy. No issue there. Did have to adjust the gas jets though, as just too powerful. My only gripe is that the advertising brochure talks about the… Read more

different oven functions ie, pizza, barbeque, gratin, etc, but then there is no mention of these in the manual so one has to guess at which setting you achieve these functions. Am enjoying figuring it out. Roomy stovetop and oven, reliable, 5year warranty and looks good

Fantastic – needed a 800 mm due to the lack of space we had in our kitchen..been looking for almost a year to we found this one it is a fantastic appliance cooks to perfection looks amazing in our kitchen triple glazed glass....fan is quiet i will totaly recomenend this product for future buyers totally 100% HAPPY presentation, cooks to the time nominated nothing

Dream Machine! – I needed an 800mm (not much choice in that size)stove to replace my old gas/gas one and looked far and wide. Found the Ariston and was impressed by everything. Triple glass door, self-cleaning walls, gas/electric fuel. We are so happy because we can bake again! The hotplates are roomy and the stove top is easy to clean - all good. 5 year warranty, great insulation, spacious Nothing yet, but I have a 5 year warranty if something does go wrong!

Fantastic – Purchased my Ariston CP859 after extensive research. It ticked all the boxes and also came with a standard 5 year warranty. Have had it for 2 weeks and am very very happy. Cooked roast pork and the self cleaning feature worked like a dream, and the pork was delicious - cooking times suggested are right on. After each use I wipe out the bottom and… Read more

clean the glass door and it looks like new. I am a pretty serious cook and the oven has had a huge workout. Would highly recommend this. There are not a lot of 80cm stoves available and my kitchen space was limited so this fit the bill. Love the self cleaning, cooks beautifully and is a great looking unit

Best stove I have ever owned – We researched stoves extensively and found this. Firstly, It is made in Australia and has a 5 year warranty. Secondly, it is easy to program, which is vital when we work long hours. Thirdly, it is easy to clean and boasts a self cleaning oven. Most importantly for us, it cooks like a dream. Everything

Best 80cm upright stove around! – Have been looking around for a 80cm upright stove as a replacement for my old stove. There are not many 80cms around but when i went instore to harveu norman, I was sold straightaway! It looks like it is a solid built stove and I was right, it is! The clock, self cleaning oven and burners especially the wok burner are all easy to use and clean.… Read more

Highly recommended! Reliable and easy to use. A bit on the expensive side but I guess you get what you pay for.

Great oven – Easy to use and clean . this oven looks great and does everything that is asked of it. The wok burner is a real bonus and the full output is almost on pa rwith a commercial burner which is great as I can do proper stir fires again. The timer and clock functions are so easy to operate which is good as we have frequent power outages. Size, wok burner, oven cleaning

Perfect Fit – I have been looking everywhere on the net and most stores for a 80cm oven as I had limited space in my kitchen. Found this one at Harvey Norman and it was a perfect fit. On top of that it was a great oven and so easy to use. would recommend this to anyone looking for a smart looking and easy to use oven. the size

My new cooker – My new upright cooker is all that I hoped it would be and more.i have just cooked off 20 dozen minced pies and every one turned out perfect so thanks to ariston.i wanted a cooker with a wok burner as I cook a lot of curries and stir fries and thus far so good. The self cleaning oven

So Easy – An easy oven to use. Looks good and is easy to keep clean. Cooks everything from cakes to roast dinners evenly and quickly. Oven is a good size, you don't have to heat a huge space to grill a cheese sandwich. Energy efficient and worth every cent. Love, love, love it! reliable cooking, fast and efficient.

Good – We needed to replace our old useless cooker recently and went with Ariston as this was one of the few brands we could afford that had an 80cm option. The stovetop has a good layout and is much more useful to us than the previous cooker which had a fish burner that didn't get used once in 7 years. The oven does seem to take a bit longer than usual… Read more ·  2

to get up to temp and is a somewhat noisy, even when not using the fan option. On the other hand, food seems to cook quicker. Generally we like our purchase very much and would recommend it. Good layout Bit noisy.

Good – Generally, I have found the oven and cooktop to perform extremely well. The layout of the cooktop is wonderful, and the oven (while taking longer to heat up than my previous gas-only version) cooks things beautifully, and quickly. I love the bigger oven capacity, and use it everyday. The oven is easy to clean, and asthestically, has made a… Read more

stunning addition to our kitchen. Great set-up, fantastic cooktop, perfect size and very stylish. We have had ours installed for 9 weeks, and have already needed to make a warranty claim - the middle of 3 glass panels spontaneously shattered while the oven was in use. Getting it fixed was no hassle with Ariston - after doing some research, this does not appear to be a one-off problem with triple glazed doors. Not so much of a problem while the oven is in warranty, but afterwards?

Terrible – not very impressed that after only 3 years while I was baking the fan caught on fire, lucky I was there otherwise it could have burnt my house down! hotplates work well and oven cooks reasonably evenly that it caught on fire and on any other setting other than fan forced it takes forever to heat up
