Nowadays, a washing machine does not surprise anyone. These household appliances have long become an integral part of life, greatly simplifying it. The range of manufactured units is huge - many high-quality products from well-known brands are presented to the choice of consumers. In the article we will take a closer look at the machines produced by the popular Ardo company.
Advantages and disadvantages
Ardo is a world renowned brand specializing in the production of high quality household appliances. The country of origin of popular washing machines is Italy. The brand's products are famous for their impeccable quality and thoughtful design. Many consumers trust Ardo technology, claiming its practicality and ergonomics.
Italian home appliances are in great demand today. There is nothing strange about this, because Ardo products can boast of a large number of positive qualities that attract the buyer.
- One of the most important advantages of such a technique is that it remains stable at absolutely any stage of work. Not every household appliance of this kind can boast of this quality today.
- Most Ardo washing machine models are quiet. Many consumers choose the ideal technique for washing clothes, based on this parameter, because often the technique works with a loud noise, disturbing all households.
- The products of the Italian brand Ardo are attractive for their beautiful and ergonomic design. Such a technique is able to refresh the atmosphere, making it more harmonious and functional.
- Many models of Ardo washing machines have an affordable cost, especially when compared with many other European products. This factor has a positive effect on the demand and popularity of branded units.
- The peculiarities of the warranty service of the original branded Ardo machines cannot but rejoice. Since 2006, all units of the Italian manufacturer have been subject to extended warranty repair periods throughout Russia. This means that in the first year of service, the replacement of structural parts, as well as the call of a professional technician, are free of charge. In the next second and third years, users will need to pay only for the spare part itself, but the process of installing it and calling a specialist will still not have to pay.
- The buyers are also attracted by the fact that Ardo service centers are located in most regions of Russia. This suggests that problems and difficulties with the purchase or maintenance of Italian equipment usually do not arise.
- Washing machines of the Ardo brand are presented in a wide range. Each consumer can find for himself the optimal model that will meet all his requirements and wishes.
- The cars of the Italian manufacturer are made with different dimensional parameters. This means that it will be possible to find a suitable product even for a very small room. For example, popular models that provide vertical loading of linen are very compact in size. These specimens are designed specifically for installation in a small kitchen or bathroom.
- Original Ardo home appliances are durable.With proper use and respect, such a washing machine will serve its owners for a long time without causing any trouble.
- Most models provide many useful programs that greatly simplify the process of washing things.
Italian home appliances have many positive characteristics, but this does not mean that they are completely devoid of disadvantages. Let's get acquainted with them.
- There are times when the electronic "filling" in Ardo washing machines breaks down. This problem is considered to be quite serious. To replace electronics in equipment with an expired warranty, you will have to pay a decent amount.
- Shock absorbers of branded washing machines do not have the strongest and most reliable fasteners. This nuance often becomes the cause of the problems that have arisen.
- Another vulnerability in the design of Italian washing machines is the springs. They can also fail. These are spring parts on which the tank of the unit is suspended.
- Most Ardo branded machines have attractive designs, which cannot be said about top-loading models. These units look rustic and do not show any delicacy in design. Of the color solutions, only 2 options are available - silver and snow-white.
- The next disadvantage is also associated with vertical models. They cannot be used as a shelf or work surface.
- Unfortunately, many of the Ardo products are designed for light loads. Most of the models can hold no more than 3-4 kg of items. Capacious devices with a load of 5-6 kg are much less common. This is one of the main reasons why such household appliances are not suitable for large families.
There were no other serious flaws in the branded cars from Ardo. Much depends on how household members use this technique.
If you operate it without following the manual included in the kit, you can provoke many malfunctions and breakdowns.

How to choose?
Choosing the perfect Italian-made washing machine is a serious and responsible business. The buyer needs to be as attentive as possible not only to the main components of the technique, but also to many details. Let's figure out what the optimal parameters of such household appliances should be.
- It is recommended to go to the store knowing in advance what exactly you are expecting from the planned purchase. Decide which programs and functions will be useful to you, and which ones are completely unnecessary. Thus, you will save yourself from buying more expensive household appliances with many additional configurations that you will never use.
- Choose a location to place your future purchase. Knowing exactly where the machine will stand, you will find out what dimensions it should have. All measurements should be sent to the store.
- Find the type of machine that will have sufficient load rates for you. For a large family, you will have to find a more spacious model in which you can wash at least 6 kg of laundry. Ardo with a large capacity are not so common, but still such models are produced, you just need to find them on sale or order in a chain home appliance store.
- Select the type of device boot - frontal or vertical. The first options are the most popular and widespread, since you can put something on their top. This cannot be done with vertical specimens, since there is a loading hatch at the top.
- Pay due attention to the design of the model you choose.Ardo household appliances should harmoniously blend into the interior that you have chosen to install them. Fortunately, the products of the Italian company are notable for their attractive design, so it will not be difficult to choose the best option.
- Inspect the equipment for damage and defects. If there are yellowed spots, traces of corrosion, chips or scratches on the case, then the device should not be bought. Examine the inside as well. All details must be fixed "conscientiously". The structure should not have gaps, backlash, loose elements. All buttons and icons must be in place.
- Buy branded original equipment in reputable stores. Only in such outlets can you find the desired high quality model, accompanied with all the necessary documentation and a manufacturer's warranty.

How to use?
The branded Italian Ardo typewriter must be used correctly. As stated earlier, automatic devices are more complex, multifunctional and well thought-outrather than a modest semiautomatic device, so many nuances must be taken into account when operating them. Let's get acquainted with them.
Before you start using Italian-made household appliances, you need to find out all the designations of certain washing modes, to turn them on correctly at the right time.

Let's analyze the points that are the same for all devices that you need to know for the competent use of proprietary technology.
- Ardo washing machines are designed for household use only.
- The washing machine must be placed on a perfectly flat horizontal surface so that there are no distortions. If the unit is to be placed on a floor covered with carpet or rug, it is important to ensure that at least a small ventilation space remains between the unit and the unit.

- The equipment must be connected to an earthed electrical network in accordance with safety regulations.
- At the end of each wash cycle, you must unplug the machine from the mains and close the valve supplying water.
- Do not overload the machine, but do not load too few things there, as this can provoke problems with the spin.
- If you need to add things to the drum, before that you need to carefully drain the water into a container of a suitable volume - do not forget about this nuance.
- Only wash items made from machine washable fabrics in the machine.
- Take your time to put your laundry in the drum. First, check all pockets for small items such as coins, paper clips, safety pins, and any other items. These elements can cause serious damage to the device during washing. This is especially true for metal objects.
- It is forbidden to wash things with Ardo household appliances that are soiled with compounds containing gasoline.
- When the wash cycle ends, or after it has been turned off, the door may only be opened after a minute.
- If you washed tracks, bedspreads, carpets or other items with a long pile in the device, then at the end of the cycle you need to check the condition of the filter. If necessary, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned.
- If you are planning to leave home for a long time, or you are not planning to use the machine for a long time, you must unplug the plug and turn off the water supply tap. And it is also advisable not to close the hatch door of the machine, but to leave it ajar to ensure sufficient ventilation of the inside of the equipment.
- Do not expose your Ardo washing machine to the weather.
- Open the drum door very carefully and gently. It is not recommended to make sudden movements and jerks if you do not want to damage this important part of the device. You should also not slam the hatch loudly and in a big way.
- If you plan to wash curtains or curtains, all fasteners must be removed from them in advance. Do not run fabrics with eyelets or hooks in the wash - these small parts can cause big problems.
- Keep children and pets away from these types of household appliances.
- Absolutely any changes to the electrical or water supply network must be carried out by a professional technician. You should not carry out any operations on your own, especially if the equipment is still under warranty.
Even if it seems to you that you will be able to "cope" with any washing machine, and there is nothing complicated about it, you still should not neglect to familiarize yourself with the instruction manual.
Many of the nuances in the operation of such units can only be learned from the instructions. The latter must necessarily be included with the equipment itself.
