Ariston ARWDF129

The Ariston ARWDF129 is a great washer/dryer combo for RV travel and smaller laundry rooms. It combines two separate units, improving the efficiency of your laundry and conserving space. All you need to do is load your clothes and set both cycles and it’ll take a good care of your clothes. This combo offers good features and different cleaning settings for various fabrics, and what’s more important, it automatically switches between drying and washing cycles. Given its quiet operation and low energy output, you won’t realize when it’s working.

But now let’s see what it isn’t ranked in our top ten.

Pros and Cons:
Positives:
  • It’s energy star qualified.
  • Has automatic load balancing system.
  • Small width, which means it fits great in small spaces.
  • Washes up to 15 lbs. and dries up to 11 lbs.
  • Smart combination of dial and digital controls.
Negatives:
  • It might seem complicated at first.
  • It takes 3 times longer than most combos to wash/dry clothes.
  • Capacity is small.
  • The dryer doesn’t dry as good as some other combos.
Negatives common to all combos:
  • There is no exterior lint trap for the dryer. The lint tends to collect around the rubber seal and you have to empty that once a month depending on the frequency of use.
  • The clothes need to be free to tumble in order to dry completely. Fill only half of the drum if you’re going to use the dry function.
  • Noisy water pump that expels the water from the machine – although active only intermittently during the wash and rinse cycle.
  • Produces a bit of heat.

Here you can find and compare user comments and prices from different online stores. Just a small advice – if you find a lot of positive reviews and some negative ones, it usually means that the complaining people don’t use the machine properly, or received some defective piece.

Conclusion: You see, the Ariston ARWDF129 is a combo that doesn’t offer tons of special features, but it’s a great choice for those who don’t have a huge laundry room.

About 

Unlike many people, Vesna enjoys spending time in the laundry room of her house. She is not a fan of strong perfumes, which is why she has learned plenty of smelly laundry tips and became a mad scientist when it comes to removing stains from clothing. In her spare time, you can find her drinking cappuccino on her balcony, watching French movies or eating chocolate when no one’s watching.
