A comment
For its time, Ariston Margherita 2000 was a fairly advanced technique. Now, of course, 9 modes is not enough, but a large volume of 5.5 kg compensates for a lot. The machine is very sensitive to the installation site. An almost perfect horizontal alignment is required, otherwise it starts to skip about the entire bathroom, especially if the maximum spin is 1000 rpm. Additional functions in the pre-wash and “no stain” modes proved to be completely meaningless, since the quality of clean linen, quite high, did not differ much from ordinary modes.
The powder is not completely washed, so it is better to pour the gel, there is no display that shows the time until the end, and it erases for a long time. They tried to turn it on for the night, it turned out that the machine was rather quiet, but it was disgusting. In the afternoon nobody paid attention to it.
pros
highest reliability and durability
Minuses
lack of modern bells and whistles, display and features
