Advantages: Bigger washload, high spin speed. Disadvantages: None really.
While looking for a new washing machine I decided I wanted one with a large enough drum to take a double duvet,
this was a priority for me as I was fed-up taking my duvets every so often to the dry cleaner's,
Apart from the effort of taking them there, I was spending extra money when I could be washing them myself.
In addition to a larger drum I was looking for a machine with a spin speed of up to 1600.
To save a lot of time I checked online first to see if there were any sales on and found that Curry's were having a massive sale.
They were selling a lot of machines with a washload of between 5 and 6 kg with spin speeds of up 1600.
After checking my options I decided to buy the Ariston A1636 which has a 6 kg washload and spin speed between 1200 and 1600. and is rated class A wash efficiency and class A Energy ...

Advantages: 1,600 spin speed, very quiet, great value, washes and rinses really well, so easy to use, large 6kg wash load. Disadvantages: Some programmes last a bit too long, keeps redistributing the load even when only slightly unbalanced.
I bought my Ariston A1636 from currys in may 2005 for £269.98 including delivery. It was in a sale, £150 off. So it was originally £419.98 including delivery. When it first came out at currys in 2004 it was £519.98 including delivery so I got it for just over half price. An absolute bargain.
The things that attracted me were it's fast spin, the reports of Ariston being a reliable make and the fact that the A1636 model uses the same Brushless induction motor that the hotpoint super silent models use. On a wash cycle you can't hear it working at all (47 decibels maximum) and on the fastest spin I wouldn't call it super silent, but It is almost certainly quieter than 95% of Washing machines on the market, even though at 1,600 rpm, it is one of the fastest. The only washer that is quieter on the spin cycle is An LG direct drive washer ...

Advantages: Easy to Use, Good Wash selection Disadvantages: Dryer packed up very quickly, leaves lint on clothes after a while
Hotpoint-Ariston A1600WD
Our last washing machine packed up and we went on the hunt for a new one, looked around some of the options on offer, and settled on this one.
It?s a condensing model which was great, no plumbing in a hose to vent or messing around with piping. Had a good selection of programs, and wash temperature easily selected.
It worked fine for the first year, and then the dryer packed up. We only ever really used the dryer in winter and then it was mostly just underwear washes so I can?t even say it was used a lot. There are only 2 of us in the house, and we?d do 1 load a week with the dryer. Basically the heating element seems to have gone on it.
Unfortunately it was out of warranty and we were not really ready to shell out for repairs or replacements? so we brought an extra clothes horse and calculated a bit ...
