Ariston CP059MDX

Ariston 90 cm free standing oven – This is the most terrible oven/gas cooker, and I recommend you don't buy this oven. Everything that can go wrong has, and Ariston do not want a bar of you once you have gone out of your 2 year warranty. All components of the oven have broken down or do not work, from the electronic ignition for the gas burners, to the oven door not closing, to the light in the oven failing, the front light panel where you choose options for the oven also faded and does not work, to the oven door not closing, which by the way cost $675 to fix and the repair man said, bad luck can't fix it. it is so disappointing when you $3000 and it is really so badly made and there is not service. full stop. Cleaning the depressions where the gas top is, is impossible, I even tried oven cleaner, but that just took the coating off. so in summary, steer clear.

Ariston Oven - so good! – We have the 90cm upright Ariston oven with 5 gas hobs. It’s about 10 years old now but still works perfectly. We cook on or in it almost every night. Gas can take a little getting used to if you used ceramic tops before but once you get used to it gas is brilliant. Oven has all the usual functions - fan bake, bake, grill. I also use the timer and auto cook settings so I can pop dinner in the oven and leave it to cook for a specified length of time when I have to drop/ collect kids from activities in the evening but want to come home to a cooked dinner. Overall I have been really happy with it - except it needs a good clean, I see Ariston does a self-cleaning version now and seriously considering an upgrade!!!

Door seal fails every 12 months – We bought this 5 years ago, and whilst it looks nice, the door seal failed after 12 months. They were happy enough to send a replacement the first time, then it failed again after 12 months and i have just rung hoping to get another under warranty (yes it took me 3 years). After waiting on hold for half an hour, i was informed that the door seal… Read more

is a 'consumable item' and is not covered by warranty. So, $65 later, I'll likely get another 12 months with a working door seal before this one fails. A family member has the same stove and exact same problem.. i guess the running cost is now $65/year for door seal replacements. I might order two next time and save on postage...

Love my oven, great customer service! – Not only does this oven look great, it is wonderful to cook with, the 5 burner stove is well thought out and works really well when you've got a few pots and pans on the go. Oven size is awesome, haven't had any problems fitting in awkward trays and pans. An absolute pleasure to cook on and so happy that I could get the best of both worlds with… Read more

the gas top and electric oven.

When we received it the handle on one side wasn't quite flush, and it made an awful rattling noise when turned on, something to do with the fan, once I got around to calling customer service we had a technician scheduled to come out within the week. My partner nor I could be home but they were happy for us to leave a key out. Received notifications to confirm the appointment and arrived home from work to find it had been fixed!

Couldn't be happier with the service received, a shame it wasn't perfect from the get go but good to know the customer service is responsive when you need them! (One thing I was worried about after reading reviews on here, I think a lot of people make the mistake of going back to Harvey Norman, but going straight to Arisit, I had a flawless experience)

I'm in love with the Ariston – We researched upright cookers for 6 months as we were renovating the kitchen, and are so pleased we decided to purchase the Ariston CP 059 MDX. We purchased in August 2013 , but had to wait to use the cooker unti the new kitchen was installed, it's first use was Christmas Day lunch for 15 people it coped magnificently . We particularly wanted… Read more

an efficient wok burner ( do lots of wok cooking) and this has the biggest capacity. Also wanted to be able to cook with several large pots or frying pans at once and the layout works well. Oven is excellent, does seem to take a long time to heat. Cast iron grates are great, however you have to be really careful placing them as they scratch the stainless really easily. Have had stainless steel hot plates before, which was relatively easily to maintain, the Ariston stainless steel does not seem to be of a high quality for the price and marks very easily, maybe we were just unlucky, I'm still in love with it though. Our son in law is a Chef and he loves cooking on it. Great layout of cooktop, wok burner the favourite Cast iron grates rough and scratches the stainless steel

Excellent oven – Love my Ariston 90cm oven Cant find new racks as originals have rusted 10 yrs old going well must get all burners going on auto Food cooks perfectly well No problem reccomending this brand to anyone Show details ·  1

Excellent oven, thank you Ariston! – A really great oven, still going strong after 10 years, only needs replacement grill element, tightening door hinges and replace fan. Grill elements work efficiently. Cooks beautifully and evenly. Looks good in our kitchen too! Show details

Excellent at breaking – Out of warranty now (9 yrs old) and the following is broken/need replacing: clock, back right burner, door seal, thermostat (not always reliable), oven door hinges, upper element (grill doesn’t work), oven door seal. I have already replaced the following: oven door glass (it just shattered while I was cooking!), oven door seal (3x). Even when it… Read more

was working it had cold spots and wouldn’t bake evenly. I feel cheated. I cook a lot and endure this price of garbage every day. I’m saving for a replacement.

A good stove – After 3 years and a couple of initial problems I would like to add to my initial rather negative review and say that I am quite happy with my Ariston stove. I love the wok-burner which provides very high heat necessary for restaurant quality Asian cooking. Also the extra frypan trivett, the small, simmer trivett (which I also use for my Bellman… Read more

Espresso coffee maker). I'm enjoying the large oven space and the self-cleaning option. I do find it necessary to clean the glass door however, and for this I use a gentle non abrasive cleaning agent and soft cloth.

Best appliance I own – Great adjustable burners& amazing temp control in oven,I can make yogurt in it 37-38 degrees.Timer very easy to use.Have to use fifty words so I am now wasting space but I am very happy.The first night I cooked at 9 pm (normally 6pm) because I had to throw away the old Eurolec (thank goodness)& the 3 pizzas at once were perfectly cooked  Show details ·  1

Great build – Ariston has designed a brilliant oven here.. it comes with a 5 year warranty as well as being an Italian company .. they know food .. most importantly the oven has only around a 3° variation in temperature so is a very accurate cook due to the way they have built in the insulation.  Show details

Oven Defects – Oven Door is almost impossible to remove for cleaning inside oven. Self cleaning does not work well. Temperature indication is not accurate, according to oven thermometer.Otherwise cooking is reliable. Timer is easy to set.We have not had any other problems since installation. We had to ask for the slide out trays as they were not deloivered… Read more

with the oven. It turned out that was because it was a misprint in the brochure. However Ariston honoured the mistaken offer and sent the parts.

Poor quality smoke machine – I have had my oven for a year and a half, within this time the ‘self cleaning’ oven has never self cleaned, rather it fills the house with smoke. Any oven cleaner used voids the warranty. The included oven tray warped after first use and is now completely unusable. The rubber seals have deteriorated, becoming cracked and brittle. I wish I had purchased another oven. This one is a cheap imitation of a good oven.  Show details

Dodgy hinges, fan broken - under 2 years old – The oven is a lemon. It was installed less than two years ago and needs repairing again. The door seal was repaired after 10 months and then broke again a week later. This has never happened on any other oven I've owned. It remains broken because I'm not paying for the repair of a part that will immediately break again. The fan is now… Read more

broken and the oven can't be used. It's less than two years old!

I would be very hesitant to buy Ariston in future, the quality is exceedingly poor.

Unlike the glowing reviews which are clearly fakes (written by the same person presumably) this one is a real one!

High End Oven at affordable price – Purchased just recently and very impressed , early days though but with that said the wok burner lives up to my expectation and beyond. Love cooking with a wok and the double burner allows you to get the heat in the wok really quickly . We are on lpg and the burners I believe are just as efficient as being on natural gas . Didn,t think it was… Read more

possible to cook a chook straight from the freezer to the oven and this was another impressive feature this oven had, yet to use the rotisserie however I am sure it will live up to my expectation. Looks impressive in the kitchen and look forward to many years of trouble free cooking

Oven door seal issues – Like many many other reviews, our recently bought home has a 7year old ariston cp059. Obviously the seals are useless however can we get new door hinges to try and fix the ajar door issue. It's not good to be wasting electricity. I'm starting to use my outside hooded BBQ. ...and we are in nz  Show details

Very handy – This item is very convenient especially in my fast paced life and environment- where there is no time for any malfunctioning kitchenware. It's preheating is quite fast and it sufficiently heats up in time for putting any food in. It performs its job without burning any dishes and hence i'm overall quite happy with this product.  Show details

Love it – Very happy about this purchase. Good size and able to fit quite a few things on it. Very nice and it's a good buy. The 5 burner stove works well when I have a few pots and pans on the go together. The only problem seems that it's easy to have scratches when clean the stove.  Show details ·  1

Good value – It is a pleasant shopping experience as it has brought a lot of convenience to my fast paced life. I used to cook food with much oil and smokes, which is unhealthy to our bodies. But food cooked by oven is much quicker and healthier. I can also make some cakes.  Show details

love my new oven – I am very satisfied with this new oven. It is big enough to fit many things on it and can cook a delicious meal for two people. It also makes my life much easier and saves a lot of valuable time. I will definitely recommend this product to my friend!  Show details

Perfect – Nice size as it is big and able to fit many things on it. The fire is very big and make the food become well done quickly. I love it so much. Very nice and worth to buy. I suggest you all need to buy product like this. Very nice colour also and safe to use. Recommended to buy this product  Show details

Within the warranty, they do nothing – I bought Ariston cp059mdx last August, only 5 month the oven right light doesn't work. Because it's in the 5 years warranty I call back Harvey Norman hoppers crossing where I bought it. They said you have to change the light ball yourself it's not be covered in the warranty. That's horrible .  Show details

Oven door won't open – Bought a house with an Ariston CPD059MDX oven in it (about 4 years old then) - the door has never shut properly it sits out about 10mm but we thought it was normal but have read on this site that it should fit flush and now the oven door won't open as the hinge is stuck We have also had the fan and element replaced 18 months ago oven is now probably about 7 years old

Awful – For starters, the gas cooktop is just fine and does a brilliant job and it looks great - end of positives! The oven itself has been nothing but trouble. We've had it for 5 years and during that time the seal has needed replacing twice and has deteriorated to the point of breaking again! The element has been replaced along with the thermostat… Read more

twice, and it has also gone AGAIN, The grill is all warped. I never know if tr's going to work or not, if it's going to take 10 minutes to burn something to a crisp or 3 hours to bake a batch of muffins! It's really just been nothing but trouble and a gigantic pain in the neck.

. We haven't had any problems with any other appliances or our electricity supply - it's just this inferior item.

Can not recommend any Ariston Product – Owned this oven for 11 years. Top oven grill has been replaced twice after warping and twisting, just ordered the third one for $100. Door seal was replaced once during warranty and twice after that. They cost $60 and come with no warranty brand new...if the silver clip slips out of the seal one week later, too bad, buy another one. Finally… Read more

decided to repair with heat proof silicone, works great.

BTW, Also bought an Ariston dishwasher and pull out Range Hood at the same time. Nothing but trouble. D/W repaired under warranty 6 times in first two years and range hood slide is being held up with nails at the moment after "plastic" brackets gave up after years of heat. Aren't these things supposed to get hot!!!

All problems started within two years of owning so I will not ever purchase any Ariston product or recommend them.

Love it! – Very well designed. This cooker is great. Very clever gas hob lay out. The 2 on the left are the same size meaning you can put a large hot plate over them both and it will heat evenly. The wok burner is extremely hot and the centre jet can be controlled independently for very low simmer or very small pots. The oven heats quickly and cooks very evenly.  Show reply

Oven seal needs replacing all the time – I had to replace oven seal within months of purchasing this oven. The new one didnt last long and broke in the same place, and I am also looking to replace it. Wish I had never bought this oven even though it does cook well. The seals cost around $119 each time. It has lots of good features but mine came with the easy cleaning sides but not… Read more

the top of the oven which is so hard to clean. The oven looks impressive in the kitchen and the gas cooktop is very good but i dont like the oven.

Terrible customer service – We've had our oven for 3 years, in that time the grill stopped working after two weeks of purchase, now the oven stopped working 3 weeks ago. It's within warranty but ariston refuse to replace it as they say the damage was caused by a power surge which never happened. Avoid avoid avoid.
