My
Ariston refrigerator has announced is death!
Finally, I got rid of it!
How hard it is provide good quality home appliances in the 21st century?
Well, to Ariston, it's seems an impossible mission.
Since 2001, Ariston convinced me that they are unable to produce good products.
At home, I have:
- a two door fridge
- a washing machine
- a dishwasher
- an oven
- a gas cooker
From all the above, I only bought the two door fridge. It was back in 2001 and it costed me around 650€ back then. Not cheap!
From all the above, since 2001 only the oven has not given a single problem (at least until now):
- two door fridge: broke after approximate 5 years. Ariston was "kind" enough to replace it for a new one for 150€, same model, same crap. It broke last week!
- washing machine: sometimes the washing program gets stuck, which has lead to huge water waste. There were times when it kept pumping water directly down the drain for hours.
- dishwasher: the entire electronic control was replaced. Don't recall the exact value, but I do recall it was not cheap.
- gas cooker: sometimes the ignition lighter starts working continuously out of the blue, forcing an electrical shutdown to stop it
"Bad luck" one must say.
But actually this has nothing to do with luck, it's entirely a bad quality issue.
I have a friend with exactly the same issues on his fridge, same model as the mine.
Bad luck and coincidence?
No, simply bad quality.
For those that don't believe, check out Ariston appliance user rates and comments on the web.
Many (not to say most) are barely rated as average...
Ariston quality is very bad: it totally sucks!
How hard is it to make good appliances in the 21st century when the worlds sees it as a commodity?
One thing is for shure: Ariston will never see a dime from me again!
