I had no idea they sold the brand even in the USA! A shame that Italian brands have such a bad reputation overseas! |

When I was on holiday in Italy I really was sad. All machines you have in Italy are shit, do you have one good brand in Italy? |

We have them here as well, although, in the US, they call them Wascomat.I was at the Top Notch laundrymat, in Gladstone,Or( I needed my laundrymat fix)and Pam, one of the owners happened to be there, we had a chat about her new machines they had purchased reciently. They came from Europe, and were made by Electolux, to the tune of $8000.00, yes that is right, per unit for the big ones. They are pleased with them.

There are several excellent Italian brands. FA Porsche, Ferrari, Alessi to name just a few of the more common products. I won't even mention design...there is a reason so many of my students at the FH do a semester in Mailand... Sure, Ariston is poor quality. But let's not forget the 'quality' our Beamter deliver in Germany. It isn't fair to only look at our Miele and BMW (I sure as hell ain't counting any Daimler products of the last 10 years) and say our quality is universally best. Put another way, many North American tourists to Europe say: We Germans have civilization...but the Italians have culture. |
