What you don't know about Asko: Washer Capacity

Robert that is an old rule. When the drum is completely filled with clothes(cotton) as you see in this video, then you used the max capacity. When cotton gets wet in the drum, you will see that the room in the drum increases with about 30-35%. This is enough room to get the clothes clean AND economic way of doing your laundry.

Can I switch the door to the Left hand side like I can with the dryer? It's Asko Model W6222.

Will this machine remove skid marks?

How can I select only the spin and drain program on the Asko W6324 ??

Thank you Rodger, that is correct and one of the main points of this video.

I need a stackable pair that are 21 inches in depth at the most. Does anyone make such a beast?

Can you stall a wash cycle currently running and restart later

I have a new compact family ASKO washer/dryer set. Can you tell me why they make so much noise when running? We installed them on top of a mixed tile/plywood floor (old tile under part of floor and then the remainder of floor filled in with plywood to level out the area. Both are under a new quartz countertop with an inch or two space all around the sides/front. The spin cycle is very loud and the dryer (electric) is also loud. I love the compact size and you really can do a full load of laundry in them and the cleaning is superior to other machines with no damage to your clothes. But the noise needs to be fixed. Help!

Up to today i had never even heard of these machines.I saw this exact model on display.They are strange looking machines.After researching these very well engineered washing machines im sold and even though expensive theres a good 20 to 25 years service life.Sorry Bosch but Asko gets my vote.

Man, that's an awful lot of towels for that top loader.

I bought my Asko Washer/Dryer set in 2002 and have been very happy with them. I had to replace motor brushes and a circuit board once on the washer and the belt had to be changed once on the dryer. Other than that they are still working as well as the day I had them installed. Now that the set is getting older, I'm starting to think about replacing them in the next few years but I have a couple of questions pertaining to the new models and one about my current model... 1) The door on my current washer is hinged on the right. I noticed in this video it's hinged on the left. Is this how they're made now or can you get them hinged on either side? 2) Are the motors in the new washers brushless? 2) The water inlet sprayer on my current machine (over the detergent/softener drawer) has gotten extremely mildewy to the point that blobs of mildew sometimes fall into the detergent tray. I've tried cleaning this plastic part but not very successfully. Is it recommended to open the top of the machine and remove that plastic sprayer part and soak it in bleach water? Thanks for any info you can send. I'll probably be getting a new set of Asko laundry machines within the next 5 years.

top loading washers doing their job in a short time .....but are very agressive for your clothes and need a lot of washingpowder because there is so much water in a toploader( even HE toploader). EUROPEAN BRANDS like asko use so much less water and detergent. Cleaning is exellent without wearing your clothes. In earlier times clothing was beaten on a rock by a river. This technique is still being applied, the rolls through the clothes drum from top to bottom. When clothes to fall down in the drum receives the blow of the weight of the clothes from the drum. It has proven to be the safest and most effective way to wash clothes (not by friction)

Next, you should do a demonstration on your dishwashers so we can see what's going on inside and hear how quiet it is.

@6:26 sec. What wash action? The towels aren't even being tumbled. They're rubbing against each other while slightly damp. How is that supposed to get them clean? Center post agitator TL washers actually scrub the clothes like a washboard.

It is definitely not recommended to do a load of laundry so full like that. All manufacturers advise drums to be less than 2/3 full in order to achieve best washing performance and not to damage the washing machine.

Good video

I'm skeptical that any laundry as twisted on themselves and/or with others, as some of those green towels were in this video, would actually get thoroughly clean - that is, washing real-world dirty items, not laundering already-clean towels.  2.2 cu ft is still a fairly small capacity for anything bulky, even if just one item such as a Q or K comforter, or winter parka.

Is it true that Asko are no longer a European company and are in fact owned by the same Chinese company that owns and sells Asko? If so are they built with Chinese parts to control costs. Everything seems to come from China even Bosch build some of their washers in China.

I like front loaders

Gawd I can't believe this.. He overloaded both of these machines. Doh! You should only fill the tubs 75% of the way with dry clothes. You get much better cleaning performance if the tub isn't stuffed like that. I dont understand why people are so obsessed with overloading garment washers. And he's their spokesperson??
