Ariston LFF8M132CAUS / LFF8M132CXAUS

Was great while it lasted - died after 2.5 years use – I really liked this dishwasher while it worked - it cleaned well. But it suffered a catastrophic (electrical / mother board) failure before it was 3 years old. I'm incredibly lucky that I purchased the extended warranty from the store, as Ariston's warranty was only for 2 years. I've never purchased Ariston before, and doubt I will again. … Read more

For what it's worth, I also had to get the cutlery basket replaced - it fell apart in under 18 months. Fortunately Ariston replaced it as a courtesy to me, even though apparently the basket only had a 12 month warranty.

Clearly this dishwasher is not built to last.

I'm off to replace it with a Bosch or similar.

Brilliant Results – I purchased this Ariston dishwasher based on the reviews, as I had never heard of them before. I had been unhappy with a basic level Bosch that was in the house when we bought it. Let me say it has lived up to EVERYTHING I wanted. First - it is incredibly quiet. As many people have mentioned, you need to listen hard at the start to realise it… Read more

is going.

Second - lots of wash cycle options. The one I choose mostly takes 3 hours - but very careful use of water, steaming time, gives a PERFECT wash result. Put it on last thing at night - it won’t keep you awake with clunking etc.

Third - other options. You can choose even heavier wash loads, extra drying time, or one of 3 levels of “fullness”. If you only have bottom tray packed, you just choose Level 1, but there are two more levels. I’m mostly using Level 3.

Must have descaling salt and finish areas full so that you never have a problem with crud or gleaming dishes.

Cutlery basket - initially, I had hoped for a separate high tray - but this basket can slide along the prongs, giving a great deal of flexibility in packing.

VERY happy customer. After years of moaning about the poor results of the last dishwasher, I could not be more happy.

If you don’t recognise the name - don’t be put off. Give it a go!

Nothing Beats this Ariston Dishwasher, Not even Miele! – Purchased this Dishwasher as I have always relied on Ariston Appliances, my washing machine is Ariston and being brand new these are very stylish.I picked the White, Stainless steel is also available. I definitely made the right choice, The racks and baskets are huge which fit everything. Lots of Options and Cycles, Dishes always come out… Read more ·  1

sparkling clean, It has got to be one of the quietest machines I have heard and also if you use the normal 50 degree cycle it uses halg the water and energy than say the 55 degree cycle, The machine has Delicate cycle for glasses, extra drying options, time delay start and a time saver option.Quick wash available too for a few items. The upper basket is height adjustable for when you have huge plates that would block the blade otherwise. And the Knife Rack on the highest model is fantastic for all the little lids and misc tiny items and utensils which would normally find themselves being shoved between glasses etc. And it has a fold down flap above the top rack which will hold your wine glasses in place. For a family of 4 it can take me about 3 days to completely fill this thing. Never have i had to rewash anything with this machine. I have to say it impresses me every time, even when the plate slots are Extremely close together, it's a challenge the Ariston exceeds every time.

With the people giving it really bad reviews on the machine, I think they are just trying to find something to complain about, either that they are using a quick wash cycle and expecting to get a spotless result hmmm.

Anyway, I have done a fun review video on Youtube, Just Search Model No. and you will find it. Thanks:)

DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE – I bought this model after the Harvey Norman salesperson told me that the machine that the machine that they had on sale had a plastic bottom and wouldn't dry the glasses. Because glasses or dishes left in a machine wet, foggy, or humid after the dry cycle are a health nightmare--a sort of petri dish for organic life, I opted for this machine which… Read more

allegedly dried the dishes.

Well, I should have not listened and paid the extra $300.

No matter whether the highest heat cycle or extra drying cycle (or both) are chosen, the machine produces, after nearly three hours, a bunch of foggy glasses and damp dishes. It does this quietly if sound is your most important interest. It has lots of buttons to push and pretty electronic displays if you are seeking that.

It cleans only OK. Pre-rinsing or pre-washing dirty plates by hand is a must.

If you are stuck with it like I am, I suggest you remove all the fancy attachments. They merely interfere with the wash spray and interfere with the washing/drying processes.

This is strictly my opinion arising from my sad experience. When I called the salesman, he denied that he ever said that the machine dried the dishes completely. I said "dried the dishes" meant dried them completely. He kissed me off by saying that I would need to spend another $2,000 for a Miele machine that actually dried dishes.

To think that I exchanged my old but working Bosch for this piece of attractive junk really irks me.

As I say, this is merely my opinion and my personal experience. My single piece of general advice is that dishwashers that do not dry dishes completely are a health danger. Buy a washer that actually dries them.

Alternatively, go back to hand washing and air drying.

Good Luck.

Excellent!! – The product has some amazing features and many doffrrent settings! I scrape my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher and they come out so clean! I have never had an issue with this dishwasher clogging but it is very easy to clean if I ever want to. All I have to do is remove the catcher, give it a quick rinse and put it back and it is all good to go!  Show details

its nice – I am so satisfied with this product's features/controls and its performance applying different settings I do rinse and sometimes scrape dishes before putting them in the dishwasher no, it did not, in fact I used it for more than 6 months and it did not happen to me , so It was ok to me  Show details

Easy to use and cleans the dishes very well – We're super impressed with the Ariston M132CAUS the price was great for starters and its water and power star rating was mid range compaired to other brands. It's simply to use load the dishes up then add in the tablet or soap close the door then enter the wash mode you want and then press go! That simple and clean plates come out after  Show details

Poor quality for an expensive product – After only three years this dishwasher has a faulty cicruit board for which the cost of repair will hardly be worth it. It has never done a very good job of drying dishes. I won't be buying an Ariston again, very unhappy with the purchase, I had expected better value from a $1000 machine  Show details

Leaving dishes dirty and wet – I bought this product a month ago from Harvey Norman store here in Brisbane. sales person was saying lot of good things about it and we decided to buy it. After 3 days delivery came and installed. Since then we are using this product. I will review this product with pros and cons. PROS 1. Stand alone dishwasher 2. 5 years of manufacturer… Read more

warranty

3. Free delivery and installation

4. Silent washing

5. Good energy rating

6. Good water rating

CONS:

1. Somehow, my dishes are not getting dry after wash. I tried changing all the settings, set extra dry option, 3 hours cycle, running hot water tap for more than 2 min before turning it on but still dishes are wet. I don't know why

2. Some dishes are still dirty even after 3 hours of washing cycle.

Dreadful Quality! – I have been using this brand in my rental for three years. No matter what setting I pre arrange, it does not do a good job. I rinse the dishes before I place them in and yet they still come out dirty. Have used products to give it a ‘clean out”- doesn’t help. Not recommended!  Show details

Possibly the best dishwasher we have owned – We bought this machine from Harvey Norman at Gympie, Qld. It came with a free 5 years warranty and so far has proved faultless. Washes well and dries contents of machine really good. It is so quiet that sometimes you wonder if it is working, have to watch the timer in front to see it count down. Highly recommended.  Show details

Great Product easy to use – Have used ariston for many years and even if i have had a problem the customer service is great! Bought this model from Harvey Norman as I moved into a new house and had to leave my old one there and again this model has performed the way it should. Highly recommend the brand for service and quality  Show details

I need to amend my earlier bad review...I was wrong, machine is great – I reviewed my machine awhile back and I must make amends, I gave a poor rating. I'm sorry to anyone I discouraged from buying. The machine was a disappointment initially and I became very frustrated as wasn't getting the solutions I wanted. However, a tech came to the house and he corrected the problem, he simply relocated the top basket … Read more

( we had not re positioned the basket, we left them placed how they arrived ). So if you're experiencing a bad wash, have a tech come out ( no cost) and get him to check if positioned wrong. I really am very happy with the Artisan and it is very quiet.

Just ... Very Good – Quiet as a mouse. Uses vertually no water - 9 litres on eco cycle. CLEANS SPOTLESS which is the very best thing. Never had any problems or issues after 2 1/2 years - touch wood. Did I mention it's QUIET. We have had 2 others over the years and this destroys them all for quality, cleanliness, and water usage.  Show details

Great but could do better – Bought this model and brand because of various points but mainly because of its incredibly good energy and water ratings. In every other aspect, it was a great buy - only one huge BUT ....... to get items dry, you have to opt for the "extra dry" option which adds another hour (!) to whole process. That said, it cleans really well, cutlery… Read more

basket can be placed anywhere (on bottom shelf) and so very quiet that, at first, I thought it wasn't working and kept opening it up to make sure it was on.

Simple, Quiet and effective – This dishwasher is amazingly quiet but more importantly washes all the dishes and dries them in a very effective manner. Once the manual read, I have also discovered that this product is also full of features- choice between the top or the below basket is possible with the addition of an extra dry option. Very versatile! Very happy  Show details

Superb – Hello Thank you for the opportunity to write a review. I am very happy with the dishwasher which I purchased from Harvey Norman, leaves my dishes and glasses sparkling! It is quiet and even the quick wash cycle works well. Favorite features would be all the programs, it is economical and very quiet.  Show details

Very quiet it washes extremely well!! – This would have to be the quietest dishwasher I have ever used, adjusting the top rack is extremely simple along with the sliding cutlery basket and lay down racks for putting pots in, the wash results are very good and I also just love how the stainless steel cleans so easily  Show details

Not to bad – Like the dishwasher nice and quite, not to keen on untensil basket ,the single slots to small for the knife and folks we have plus the name on out side has peeled off now reads piston . Overall nice product suit us well, Is there some way of us obtaining another decal for front ?  Show details

Hate this washer - glasses never clean! – Bought this from Harvey Norman and it's the worst I've ever used. All the glasses come out cloudy with water and suds stains. These have to be rewashed when we have guests. Have tried rinse aid and different tablets etc. the result is always the same. Had this for about a year and a half and has been consistency bad. :( Any tricks on how to fix?  Show details

Dont do it brand new and it had an f02 error – Brand new took home and set up and plugged it in and it comes up with a f02 error and wouldnt drain water out we rang ariston who told us to take it back and so after getting it out of the car setting it up and the having to uninstall it it leaked water all through the kitchen due to a draining error apparently..... put it back in the car to take it back to the shop 30 mins away! Save yourself the hassel and buy something else  Show details

Works great – I usually use it fully loaded and on the 30 minutes cycle. Low water usage, and very quiet. Dishes come out clean, on rare occasions some hard crust is left but this is rare. usually use it with finish tablets with good results. Very happy with this purchase, highly recommended.  Show details ·  1

It's ok – I find it's quite a loud dishwasher, it doesn't really clean the dishes very well and sometimes I need to put them through again. Nothing high can go in the bottom rack and the ARISTON on the front of the dishwasher is starting to peel off as it's just a sticker.  Show details

Stay away from Ariston – This is a shocking dishwasher, I have only had it for 4 months, it is stuck at random times through any given cycle (it is on 2:18 and stays there), it at times has water light come up (yes i have checked the tap). I have rung Harvey Norman and all they could care about was here is there number and nothing else, you want every little detail… Read more

including model number and serial number, problems it has ...all emailed to them before they will even contact a service agent.

If you are checking these pages for dishwashers...stay away from them!

looks good – the dishwasher looks good . but it is loud and doesnt really wash the dishes properly. also having trouble with the tablet tray releasing the dish washer tablets. one good feature is the 1hr quick wash but even that seems a little long . also dishes dont really come out dry  Show details

Great help! – My new Ariston is very good at cleaning everything including tea stained cups! It dries very well with the exception of plastic wear . I have never owned one that does. It us very quiet and it is quick as well. It has a great feature in that the top shelf is moveable to suit whatever I wish to place there.  Show details

Awesome Ariston – Love the way it cleans and dries dishes and is very quiet love the easy external cleaning and electronic push button operation easy external cleaning also good racking system for changes in positioning of plates etc. Easy underbench installation, multitudes of operating settings, i can thoroughly recommended this brand of dishwasher.  Show details

Should've purchased another brand – Purchased over a year ago. Worked ok for a while, but lately doesn't wash properly. We have used rinse aid and followed troubleshooting guide for cleaning. We have tried various tablets and powder, with most results the same. We were looking at another dishwasher (same price) and sales person recommended Ariston over other brand. Wish we stuck with other dishwasher.  Show details

Good without being great - had better – It is fairly quiet. Features are easy to use. The dishwasher cleans dishes fairly well however the dry function is quite poor. Doesn't really dry well. The cycles are very long length. It's nice and quiet but I have had better that perform more effectively. The baskets are good except the fold down racks collapse too easily.  Show details

Huge disappointment! – Best thing I can say is that it is quiet. I am so disappointed with this machine. If it is fully loaded it does not wash properly especially the cutlery and I ALWAYS have to wash the steak knives again. Have tried loading it so many different ways but still not a good wash. Unfortunately this has put me off buying any other appliance in this brand.  Show details

Quiet wash cycle – I use tablets and it cleans dishes quite well, but the normal cycle I takes 2 hours 55 minutes, including drying time. Dries china well when you use rinse aid. Does not dry plastic Tupperware and microwave containers very well, but neither did my F & P. Huge range of wash options was a bit daunting. Really quiet wash cycle, beeps to tell you it's… Read more

finished. Pause feature is good so you don't have a nasty surprise with water temperature change while in the shower.

I have had the bottom rack run off the track a few times, but this was probably more my fault for not evenly distributing the weight of dishes on the rack or pushing/pulling the rack from the side rather than directly in front.

Awesome – We have only had it 3 weeks, ..cant hear it while it is washing! cleans very well. Everything comes out sparkling!! Didnt realize how bad the previous one was. Has a massive lower basket and moveable cutlery drainer. So we csn fit alot in. And it is very easy and simple to use . love it  Show details

Aweome!! I finally use the dishwasher – I replaced another shocker with this awesome dishwasher. I use it everyday which is unsurprising for some, but for me, its a big deal. Cleans pretty well, noting that I use Eco washing tabs. So if you use the toxic stuff, its sure to work even better. Its pretty damn quiet too. No wake ups ... except for the b* beep at the end. Seriously, why do they even make them beep.  Show details

my dish washer, – I was surprised to see dishes,pots& pans, knives forks,glassware come out so clean and shinning and dry Could not believe just how quiet it is I actually checked to see if it was turned on, The smooth clean lines and the amount of choices I have in the settings and also so easy to just wipe over with a damp cloth,  Show details
