In which country are produced
Ariston brand today belongs to the Italian concern Indesit Company, whose specialization is the production of various household appliances. In the distant 30th year of the last century, Aristide Merloni opened a small workshop for the production of scales in his native village of Albachina, before the war he transferred his business to the city of Fabriano, where Ariston's headquarters are located today.
Shortly before his death, he divided his business between his three sons, and in 2005 the company changed its name to Indesit Company, which was headed by the youngest son Vittorio. Two years later, Ariston and Hotpoint teamed up. Hotpoint Ariston brand home appliance sales are constantly in third place in the world.
The concern consists of more than 14 enterprises, which are located not only in Italy, over 16 thousand specialists of various profiles work for them.
There are two factories operating in Russia that produce products under the Ariston brand, which means “best” in Greek, and this is true.
Features
Ariston's calling card is the original design of the models, so initially it may seem that they have a different manufacturer, but this is not so - the brand is exclusively Hotpoint Ariston, the country can be different, because the concern’s production facilities are located throughout Europe. The stove of this brand goes well with any kitchen set.
Another advantage is the large volume of the oven, which reaches 62 liters - this is the scope for cooking homemade pastries or meat, as well as fish delicacies. Users do not have problems with the oven, because there is an automatic ignition and gas control, it is convenient to observe the cooking process through a large-format protective glass, since bright lighting allows you to consider all the nuances of cooking.
The hob is equipped with high-class burners: a powerful one is necessarily present - for quick heating, two medium and small, on which it is convenient to brew coffee in a Turk or heat butter to add to the dough. A stove with a gas hob from Italian specialists will decorate any room.

- mechanical control panel;
- high volume oven with thermostat, grill;

How to choose
Number of burners
The working surface is equipped with standard burners, differing only in the diameter of the nozzle part, which leads to their different power.Hotpoint-Ariston is equipped with all its products with electric ignition, as well as a gas-control system, so the possibility of burns for users is practically excluded - the operating safety is greatly increased.
Panel Material
For the working panel, special enamel is used that can withstand quite high temperatures up to 800 degrees - this is a cheaper coating compared to stainless steel counterparts. Enamel reliably protects the hob from corrosion, but it requires constant care - it is better to immediately remove the runaway liquid, then to clean the burnt spots for a long time.
Type of control
All products of the Ariston trademark have mechanical control with the help of rotary switches, which are installed on a special panel located on the front side of the product. Around the toggle switches there is a scale with divisions from 1 to 12. The switches are made of especially durable composite material that is resistant to high temperatures. On the panel, some models have an electronic timer or digital display that displays the operation of the product.
Grill quality
The material for manufacturing is enameled steel or cast iron, the second option has huge advantages in resistance to constant exposure to high temperatures, as well as possible deformations from the heavy weight of the cookware. Steel is considered more fragile, especially after a long exposure to open fire of different capacities, therefore it is used only in economy class models.
Oven Functionality
We have already noted the fact that the products of this brand have a much larger oven than competitors, and range from 57-62 liters, which is more than enough for any family. The presence of a grill allows you to cook delicious delicacies from poultry or barbecue, without going out into the countryside. Many models are equipped with an electric ignition and gas control system for the oven, which facilitates its use.
An audio timer will notify you when the product is ready, and a high-quality thermostat indicates the degrees inside, and also maintains the set temperature.
Dimensions and color
The height of the stove is always constant and equal to 85 cm, but the width and depth can vary: the first is 500-600 mm, and the second is 350-1000 mm (exclusive for six burners). Compact options fit perfectly into small spaces, standard ones for an improved layout, and large ones for a superior kitchen.
There are models for desktop placement - compact for 2 burners with dimensions of 5000x340x120 mm or 3, 4 nozzles - 500x550x23 mm. The color palette is quite diverse - classic white, black or brown, and when the working panel is stainless steel, then the silver color.
Original additions
Electric ignition
This function implies the presence of a special button on the control panel, with the help of which the burner ignition is safe for the consumer. In expensive elite models, automation is combined with rotary switches. The disadvantage of such a system is that in the absence of electricity it does not work.
Gas control
If the flame suddenly dies out from a draft or other reason, the gas supply instantly stops, and special sensors that respond to the flame level in the burner ensure reliable operation.
Child protection
The rotary switches are designed in such a way that they need to be drowned and held for a while in order for the ignition switch to work - this is not possible for small children. On some models, the control panel lock is used, therefore, in the absence of parents, the children will not turn on the stove.
Timer
Hotpoint-Ariston products can be equipped with a mechanical or electronic timer with an audible signal.It is enough for the user to set the end time for cooking and go about his own business, and the device will inform about the end of the process.
Each potential buyer, before heading to the store for a new gas stove, should familiarize himself with the technical parameters and features of the selected model in order to indicate to the seller the exact name of an Ariston brand product.
