Ardo washing machines: features, selection criteria, review of the best models

A washing machine is a necessary equipment in every home. It’s not easy for a modern person to do without this household assistant, because with her you don’t need to waste time and effort on washing things. When choosing a washing machine, you need to pay attention to its quality, functionality, cost and dimensions.

The products of the Italian manufacturer Ardo are very popular, as they meet all the parameters of ideal household appliances. We offer a review of Ardo washing machines - the best models in terms of price and quality.

Where are Ardo washing machines made?

The products of many European brands are manufactured in Eastern Europe and Asia in order to save on labor costs. But at the same time, models from the same manufacturer differ in quality depending on the place of assembly. The Ardo brand has a significant advantage - the equipment sold is assembled in Italy at three large enterprises in the Italian town of Fabriano.

Russians are also encouraged to purchase locally assembled washing machines. Ardo equipment has been assembled at a Russian enterprise since 1997. It differs from European-assembled products, taking into account the specifics of local operating conditions - in Russia, tap water is harder.

How does a washing machine work?

The automatic washing machine of the Ardo family is assembled from elements that are structurally practically no different from analogues used by other manufacturers.

Components:

  1. Tank. Container for water and detergent.
  2. Drum. This is where laundry is loaded. Metal tank that rotates during washing. The metal is perforated to allow water to flow from the reservoir.
  3. Water pump. A pump that pumps out water accumulated in a tank. After each cycle, the pump drains the water used during the washing, rinsing or spinning process. In Ardo machines the pump is located at the bottom left.
  4. heating element. Heats water to the set temperature. If necessary, it can be heated to 95°C.
  5. Electrical engine. Rotates the drum. Fixed under the tank.
  6. Filling electric valve. It is located at the junction of the housing and the inlet hose. Serves as a barrier between tap water and the communications of the device.
  7. Control Panel. It can be electronic or mechanical. With its help, the user selects modes and sets settings. Control is performed using buttons and toggle switches. Ardo also has a display.
  8. Control module. The “brain” responsible for all the work and quality of washing.
  9. Loading hatch. An opening with a door through which laundry is loaded.
  10. Dispenser. The user pours powder here before washing things.

Advantages and disadvantages of Ardo washing units

The demand for Italian household appliances today is incredibly high. And this is not surprising - Ardo washing machines have many advantages:

  1. The machine remains stable throughout the entire operating cycle, including in spin mode, which is not typical for all equipment of this type.
  2. Almost all models of Ardo machines work very quietly, without disturbing the usual life of household members.
  3. The beautiful and ergonomic design will certainly appeal to every buyer.
  4. Many models are available at low prices, especially compared to other European products.
  5. There is an Ardo service center in almost every region of Russia, which allows you to avoid problems with servicing household appliances.
  6. All products are covered by a guarantee, according to which in the first year after purchase, breakdowns are repaired at the store’s expense, and in the second and third year the owner pays only the cost of the spare part itself, and its installation is free. Including, you do not need to pay for calling a specialist to your home.
  7. A wide range of Ardo brand washing machines allows you to choose equipment for every taste and budget. Consultants will help you choose the appropriate model depending on the requirements and wishes of the buyer.
  8. Ardo washing machines are available in different sizes. You can choose a model even for very limited space. Thus, machines with vertical loading of laundry are very compact and designed specifically taking into account the characteristics of a small room.
  9. Ardo household appliances have a long service life. If you follow the operating instructions, the machine will last for many years.
  10. All models are equipped with useful programs that simplify the washing process.

Along with the advantages of Italian household appliances, its disadvantages should also be noted:

  1. The electronics in Ardo machines often break down. This is a rather serious problem, which will result in a large sum after the warranty period expires.
  2. Italian washing machines often have not very reliable and strong fasteners, which often leads to various problems.
  3. The springs on which the tank is suspended are another weak point of Ardo washing machines. They fail quite often and require replacement.
  4. Ardo washing machines have an attractive design, but they are available in only two colors - silver and white. Also, a model with vertical loading of laundry can hardly be called attractive - it looks simple and not entirely attractive.
  5. Many brand models do not allow you to wash more than 3-4 kg of laundry. Cars weighing 5-6 kg are rare. And this is a serious reason that turns many people away from buying.

The remaining disadvantages of Ardo washing machines are minor. How the machine is operated and cared for is also important. If you do not follow the manual, various problems may occur.

The history of the company began in the small Italian town of Fabriano, the center of the Marche region, located at the intersection of the main highways passing through the Apennine Peninsula from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian Sea. A small town with a population of only 30,000 people in just thirty years has become the undisputed leader among the industrial cities of the Umbria and Marche regions. But Fabriano's fame crossed the borders of Italy, turning it into one of the largest centers for the production of electrical household appliances in Europe.

The path to industrial development not only of Fabriano, but of the entire region, was paved by Senator Aristide Merloni. He started his business in an agricultural region, where the young population preferred to emigrate abroad in search of a better life. Aristide Merloni made a choice in favor of change and technological progress.

In 1930, in the vicinity of Fabriano, he opened a small factory for the production of scales, the products of which quickly gained success in the market. After the war, as the company continued to develop and grow, Aristide Merloni, together with his sons, began producing liquefied gas cylinders in the cities of Matelica and Sasso Ferrato. In a short time, this new business also brought excellent results, and by the end of the 70s the company became the world's leading manufacturer of liquefied gas cylinders.

At the end of the 60s, after a careful study of market trends, it was decided to start producing washing machines.

In the 80s, the Antonio Merloni group continued its tireless activity, increasingly specializing in the production of electrical household appliances. In 1984, a plant for the production of refrigerators was put into operation. And three years later - a plant for dishwashers and tumble dryers. In 1989, the company received the name Antonio Merloni LLC, and the next year it was transformed into a joint stock company.

In 1995, the company bought Teknogaz JSC, an enterprise producing electric and gas stoves, thus expanding the range of products.

Currently, the company's factories employ 4,500 people. The Antonio Merloni Group enters the third millennium as one of the largest manufacturers of electrical appliances in Europe, having achieved an average annual output of three million products in recent years. This year the group's factories will produce the thirty millionth product.

Produced by Antonio Merloni

Fabriano, where three factories are located, is the largest center for the production of washing machines. Santa Maria is home to a 143,548-square-foot front-loading washing machine plant; in Maragona, a plant for the production of top-loading washing machines with an area of ​​97,147 square meters; in Piaggio Dolmo - drum drying plant with an area of ​​43,945 square meters. Two thousand factory workers produce 11,000 products per day.

Constant attention to market requirements led to the decision to expand production: in 1980, a refrigerator factory began operating in the vicinity of Nocera in the Umbria region. The plant is located on an area of ​​230,580 square meters. The large area of ​​the plant allows the use of a specially developed system for supplying blanks, plastic parts and automation of production processes. Thanks to the accumulated experience and new technologies, in a short time the enterprise has become efficient and has reached a high level of production organization and product quality: 1,000 workers produce 4,500 units of products per day. In the 80s, the plant organized the production of dishwashers.

In 1993, a special department for engineering and design was created. In northern Italy, in the city of Reggio Emilia, the Teknogas plant is located. This is one of the leading and most famous enterprises in Europe, specializing in the production of gas and electric stoves, as well as built-in appliances.

Taking care of the consumer

All ARDO equipment is produced only in factories in Italy, where every stage of production is carefully monitored, and then the finished products are subjected to strict testing during operation.

Product quality and process automation are characteristic of all stages of production. After assembling the workpieces and welding work, the hulls are treated with kaphoresis before final painting. This treatment guarantees reliable protection of the metal from corrosion.

Tanks are made of two types: stainless steel and special modern material Eco-carbon. The use of Eco-carbon material ensures compliance with the highest noise standards and reduces vibration.

The subject of particular attention is the production process of stainless steel drums. When manufacturing them, it is necessary to observe high precision and thorough processing, since they are the main element that ensures high quality washing. Seven assembly lines, guaranteeing production flexibility and the ability to quickly switch to the production of new models, allow the Antonio Merloni company to produce a full range of products to satisfy the diverse needs of consumers.

Visual and electronic control eliminates the presence of external and internal defects. After checking the machines on a special stand, the possibility of water leakage is completely eliminated. Before shipment, several machines from the batch are subjected to random inspection in the laboratory to check the operating efficiency and level of product quality. Reliability tests are carried out in the laboratory - several washing cycles and mechanical loads simulate a variety of operating conditions.

New models are tested in the prototype laboratory, and components are checked to ensure that materials meet specified specifications. All refrigerators and freezers undergo computer control. Fifteen climate chambers create a variety of environmental conditions. Acoustic chambers monitor noise levels. Component parts received from suppliers are also subject to inspection. In recent years, the company's goal and activity has been to plan and implement capital investments aimed at being able to counter competition at European level.

The quality of goods is confirmed by international certificates, including ISO 9001. ARDO products are certified in Russia, they have received the right to use the Rostest mark. At the same time, the quality is successfully combined with the price of refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers and hoods.

The new line of ARDO equipment embodies all innovative technologies and design solutions that meet the requirements of the consumer market. The soft line combines modern aesthetics, functionality, reliability and concern for preserving the environment.

Models of refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers are made in the spirit of the times. These are soft, streamlined lines, they are environmentally friendly, and have reduced energy consumption (class A+ and class A++). Instead of a traditional evaporator, all models use a built-in evaporator. In almost all models, you can move the doors to the opposite side. Special thermostats help to accurately set the temperature in the chambers. And chest freezers and freezers with drawers meet the individual needs of the consumer. ARDO technology appeared in Russia more than 10 years ago. She immediately won success in the Russian market, which by that time turned out to be very saturated. But Italian washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers and stoves were not lost among their counterparts in stores - buyers noticed them and appreciated them. Relatively inexpensive and at the same time high quality - these two factors attracted the attention of Russians, and very soon the name ARDO became popular. Another confirmation of the serious attitude towards the Russian consumer was the opening of a network of authorized service centers covering almost all regions of Russia.

A wide variety of models provides a wide choice. When creating washing machines, special attention is paid to the quality of washing, reliability of design and ease of use.

Gas and electric stoves are equipped with a set of features necessary for safe operation and efficient cooking. A large selection of kitchen hoods of a wide variety of shapes and colors will allow them to fit organically into the interior of any kitchen. Built-in appliances will help you find a non-standard solution for kitchen equipment in accordance with individual taste, and the original design, variety of sizes and the most modern technologies will satisfy even the most picky buyers.

ARDO conquers Russia

The new series of ARDO household appliances embodies the latest developments of the company's engineers and designers. The new models are distinguished not only by beautiful modern design, but also by high technological characteristics, including economical consumption of electricity and water. In Russia, the ARDO brand is represented by the Representative Office of ARDO JSC (ETC).

The desire for constant renewal of design, technological improvement and constant care for the needs of the consumer are the main components of the success of Antonio Merloni Spa and the ARDO brand.

Components of Ardo washing machines

Let's look separately at the main components of Ardo machines and their features.

Tank

The main element of the machine is the tank. The Ardo brand uses stainless and enameled steel for production. Tanks made of enameled steel undergo additional processing, they do not corrode and have a long service life. Stainless steel tanks also have their advantages - due to the thermal conductivity properties of the metal, water heats up faster. But there is also a significant minus here - specific noise during washing. The Ardo brand decided to combine the advantages of two materials and created a tank made of stainless and enameled steel - it heats up quickly, cools down slowly, makes virtually no noise when washing and lasts longer than its stainless steel counterparts.

Drum

The machines of this brand use completely ordinary drums. They are made of stainless steel and equipped with a protection system against leaks and overheating. There is also a balancing system and door lock.

Computer

The machine is controlled using artificial intelligence. Thanks to the system of individual selection of washing modes and self-diagnosis, the machine determines how many items are loaded and how much detergent is required accordingly, which washing mode is best suited.

It is also worth noting the unique technology built into these machines - the device makes detergents more effective and manages them wisely. The washing solution is heated to the required temperature and supplied to the laundry through holes in the drum. At the end of the wash, the items are thoroughly rinsed and no detergent remains on them.

Washing quality

"Ardo" has a very high washing quality. This is due to the fact that the machines have a special technology that increases the effectiveness of detergents. This technology is capable of measuring the required amount of powder and managing it wisely. A soap solution of a certain temperature is constantly supplied to things through the holes in the drum. The laundry is gradually saturated with the solution and experiences gentle friction.

Artificial intelligence also monitors rinsing. Things are completely free of detergents.

Design Features

What types of tanks are there?

Ardo water tanks can be made from different materials. The first option is stainless steel, the second is enameled steel. Enameled containers are the company’s own development. Thanks to high-temperature treatment at 800 °C, the enamel firmly adheres to the metal, so the container is reliably protected from corrosion.

Enameled versions are more durable than steel ones. But the latter provide the fastest possible heating of water. However, steel containers cool down quickly and are quite noisy during operation.

The company's developers have created a combined tank made of stainless steel and thermoplastic. Such a tank heats up quickly, but cools down slowly, which reduces energy costs. Thermoplastic reduces noise levels. The company called this material ecocarbon. It is distinguished by strength, durability, and lightness.

SMA drum of combined structure

How much do the drums cost?

The drums are made of stainless steel. Since this element experiences heavy loads during operation, only metal can withstand them. The manufacturer supplies high-quality drums with standard-sized holes. Ardo does not install innovative modifications with “honeycombs” that provide a more delicate wash on its machines.

Protection and safety

The manufacturer has provided:

  • Overfill protection. If the system breaks down, the tank may overfill. By activating the protection, water is removed. You can see the corresponding error code on the display.
  • Overheat protection. There is a temperature detector in the tank, the readings of which are monitored by the controller. If necessary, he turns off the heating element. To protect plastic sewer pipes from overheating, the device first dilutes hot water with cold water, and only then drains it.
  • Door lock. While the drum is rotating, it is impossible to open the hatch door.
  • Balancing system. Ensures uniform distribution of laundry before spinning. This reduces vibration and drum movement.

Electronic "brains"

Thanks to the Easy Logic function, operating washing machines has become even easier. All the user has to do is put dirty laundry in the hatch and select the desired programs. The device does the rest on its own - it determines the weight of loaded items, the required amount of detergent, etc. The display will show the time available for the cycle that is optimal in terms of water and electricity consumption.

Many Ardo machines are also equipped with the Janus self-diagnosis function, which detects breakdowns and notifies the user about them.

How to use the Ardo washing machine

Intuitive icons indicating available functions help make using your Ardo washing machine simple and enjoyable. Moreover, all symbols are the same on all car models, which makes it easier to understand and remember the icons.

The most common designations are:

  1. “Cotton” in the form of a cotton box indicates the washing mode for items made from cotton fabric. For this mode, the water temperature is set from 60 to 90 degrees, and the cycle time lasts from 145 to 170 minutes.
  2. “Synthetics” - a flask is depicted. This mode lasts 127 minutes.
  3. “Express” - this washing option is suitable for removing light stains from fabric. The water temperature is 35 degrees, and it lasts 35 minutes.
  4. “Express 20/35” - corresponds to an operating mode designed to remove small contaminants. This is the fastest cycle and lasts 20 minutes.
  5. "Wool" is indicated by a ball of thread. Corresponds to the most delicate washing mode, which lasts 56 minutes.
  6. “Sport” is a mode for things that do not need to be ironed. The water temperature is set at 40 degrees.
  7. “Hand wash” - the mode is intended for washing delicate items at a low temperature of 30 degrees. This cycle lasts 100 minutes.

To select the desired option, you need to move the control wheel in the direction of the appropriate icon or press the corresponding button. The selected mode will appear on the display and disappear after the wash is completed. Once the desired program is installed, it is possible to add additional functions by pressing the appropriate button.
