Ariston MWA23B
Verified14 reviews
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 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. Show details
Best ever! – Best microwave I've ever used. Cooks evenly without a spinning dish and uses a knob for convenience. Too bad it's discontinued now. I hope Ariston's next model will include a knob like this one because I love the convenience of just turning to set the time and pushing the big knob to start. Show details
Not what it Seems – Going by the Artison Website, this is 30 litres, Not! The Model No. suggests 23 litres, Not! Going by the internal measurements (33cms x 32cms x 21cms) it might be close to 22 litres. Only got it today. This one was built 2 years ago and they seem to be on their way out. I can't comment on it's performance yet as my last one was 1100w, 40 litres and lasted over 14 years. Show details
Best microwave I've used – I'm comparing this to my previous microwave a Sharp R-395Y and it's better in every aspect. Better cooking performance for everything including steamed vegetables and makes consistently perfect poached eggs with the Decor poacher-2 min at 800W. Superior ease of use. A rotating knob surrounding the on button is brilliant. Can change the cooking… Read more
time and power easily.
I don't use programmed functions. I can just put the item in and press the button for increments of 30 sec. Rotating knob permits time adjustments up or down.
Much quieter as it has no turntable and the fan only seems to operate in grill mode.
I use the grill function for heating plates. Haven't tried it for anything else.
Can turn off the annoying beeps and it doesn't keep beeping and displaying "REMOVE FOOD".
The fan doesn't run on for 30 sec or so even after just a few seconds of operation.
It has lower power at 800W vs 1250W but this is an advantage for me as most of the time I use 800W or 700W.
You can leave the door open and turn off the light.
Weird noise after just 8 months of purchase – I bought this microwave/oven from Harvey Norman about 8 months ago it was on promotion for free scale and cookbook, I just claimed and sent several emails buy no one answered my email and never get it but now microwave makes weird noise when microwave is working!!! I had Panasonic microwave for 9 years worked perfectly fine just partner decided to… Read more
change kitchen but we are regret to say: 1- customer service is terrible 2- In my opinion quality in this device is second priority for company 3- Do not believe any promotion from this company as you can't reach them :)
Better than expected – So many things I like about this appliance. When reheating food it takes a few seconds longer than my old 1200 watt microwave but is more evenly cooked through, I love having no turntable. Love the automatic defrost for meat, fish and chicken and the option of either time or weight. Despite having lots of options in the way food is cooked whether… Read more
automatic or manually it is easy to put in the settings I want. I haven't had to keep referring to the manual. I love the cleaning feature although it's so easy to just give it a wipe over after using that I haven't needed to use it yet. I've only used the grill feature once and it was adequate but I mainly bought this appliance for it's flatbed, no extra plates etc to take out and clean. I would recommend this appliance to everyone. Very happy.
Great flatbed microwave – Wanted to give this a good workout before reviewing it. It is a nice compact design but still big enough (30 lt) due to the flatbed design and no turntable. At first we were concerned that it was only an 800 watt microwave but it cooks quicker and more evenly than our old 1100 watt model of a different brand. being able to use larger square and… Read more
rectangular dishes has been so good. The Grill function is adequate. It won't do the job of a large dedicated grill but if used as a browning, crisping or toasting it is adequate and does a good job. The combination cooking works well and other functions like Defrost are also efficient.
Overall a great microwave that looks really stylish, cooks well and takes convenient sized and shaped dishes. Highly recommended.
This is awesome – We love the crisping plate it is the best to not have soggy pies and sausage rolls and it does the chips beautiful. It heats all other foods just as well as our old one
All in one, Efficient and Affordable – I was looking for an all-in-one microwave that saved time, the Ariston MWA23B did not disappoint. It cooks, re-heats, defrosts, grills, steams and bakes to name a few. If the correct power level and time is chosen all food is cooked evenly and tastes delicious! It's quicker than a normal oven and faster than a normal grill. I'm still learning how to use all the functions but I'm excited to see what else I can do with it. Show details
Cooking up a Storm – I was initially skeptical about this type of Microwave, however, after my neighbour bought one, I was so impressed, I bought my own. I am a convert. It is easy to use, cooks and grills food evenly and can be used for a great variety cooking. Great product! Show details
So glad I purchased this microwave. Purchased in September 2019 – Food texture does not change, and heats evenly. Food thats reheated still tastes as it did when cooked the day before. The controls look great and are easy to use. Show details
Awesome Microwave – This is the first time I have bought a crisp plate microwave and it is absolutely fantastic. It is so easy to use. I heat up pies or cook pizzas. It is just like using an Oven but without the time it takes to heat an oven up and cook and the cost involved. I love the look of it and how easy it is to clean on the inside and the outside of the microwave. My mum has now just bought one. Controls are very easy to use. Show details
Ariston MWA23B Microwave – Excellent product with easy to use functions and simple to use. It does a great job of cooking and reheating a range of dishes. I particularly like the flat base which allows me to use rectangular dishes. Show details
My new microwave.MWA23B – Excellent product. Have been telling all my family and friends about the wonderful functions of this appliance. The cooking combinations are a wonderful update compared to my previous appliance. Many thanks for this unit. Show details
