Asko Appliances Reviews

2 1/2 years ago we purchased an Asko dryer. This was recommended to us due to limited space in the laundry room. A couple weeks ago the tub stopped turning. The warranty was 2 years so it was out of warranty. We did find this unusual for a supposedly upscale dryer so new to need to be repaired so soon. I called Asko and was referred to a repairman. The estimate was $488 to replace what appeared to be a broken belt. When I heard this I called Asko customer service back to ask if they would consider a good faith repair since the dryer was so new.

After our 'workhorse' dishwasher finally stopped working, we decided to finally spring for a good dependable, quiet luxury brand. We went to Trail Appliances, (a reputable appliance store), where the salesman guaranteed that the Asko brand, though relatively unknown, was made by company that made high end Swedish appliances. It was on sale that week, but still a hefty price tag. We had originally wanted the Miele, but salesman said this was better! We waited anxiously for the registered Asko installer to set it up in our home, as Asko won't allow other installers or appliance repairman to touch their products, (or it voids the warranty).

I had an Asko dishwasher that was only five years old. Came up with a very strange error code. I tried to call the company. I kept coming up with all circuits are busy. I finally submitted a request online and they had someone call me that would not work on Askos. I reached out to at least five technicians in my area and they all said they refuse to work with Asko, that they were extremely difficult to work with so I ended up having to buy a brand new dishwasher.

Parts were missing on arrival of new. C called Esco and they sent us the wrong parts. I gave up after several attempts. Then two years later after the warranty expired, the circuit board broke down and cost us $200 for a check up, then another $900 to replace the circuit board. Should I pay for the repair or just buy a new one. The flame of the gas cooktop is unevenly distributed. Appliances of other brands bought at the same time are working fine. Problem with one appliance could be bad luck, problems with two appliances are related to quality control of the brand.

This is for the Asko dryer. Dryer can barely fit 3 towels. Weird lint trap design. Often has mechanical issues and very difficult to find someone willing to repair these. I would have been better off buying a much better recognized brand. I could have bought 5 of those for what this has cost me after all the repairs.

Dishwasher function is ok. Nothing outstanding. The middle rack is not suitable for cups and drinking glasses. I prefer the tried and true old fashioned design. Cups fall over, one of the rack prongs broke and began rusting after 3 months of not quite daily use. The utensil rack has too many dividers. Tried to replace with generic brands to no avail. I cannot find any old fashioned style racks that will fit the dishwasher. Will plan to purchase a different dishwasher in 2 years.

We have an Asko Dishwasher which is 17 years old and have had good experience with it. We now need to replace it and would prefer to have an Asko; particularly for me, as it has the best basket design. Two of our local appliance dealers are not carrying Askos, but Aitoro's in Norwalk is. We've been told they are not able to provide a replacement now but are expecting a shipment soon. Should we wait to buy an Asko based on our experience or choose a Miele or Bosch instead?

The unit is a complete dumpster fire. The dishwasher control boards (Stop/Start) are almost $900.00 and should be considered a consumable for this $1800 dishwasher. I replaced two within two and a half years. Once under warranty. Considered now a hunk of garbage. I had dishwashers last for at least a decade before this ASKO.

I bought my Asko washer and dryer over 17 years ago. The washer is model W6222 and the dryer is model T712. Both have worked mostly flawlessly. At one point the washer would accumulate a gallon or two of water inside while just sitting, so I started turning on the water faucet only when in use, which "resolved" that issue, though I sometimes forget but the washer no longer accumulates water. The dryer has worked flawlessly always. So, I've never had a reason for a service call and both machines still look great and run great. They have been quiet and dependable. I haven't had the negative experiences that I read on this site. Don't know if I would buy another given those reports since after-purchase service is a very important consideration, but maybe I'll never have to.

I have had my replacement ASKO washer now for 8 years. The first ASKO washer caught on fire during a spin cycle. Sounded like the house was imploding! This thing washes ok, however the materials or rather the housing, is rusting out at the one and only soap dispenser. I have tried for years now to get the front panel replaced. Then I had conversation with a Customer Representative that danced for approximately ONE year. I finally gave up and tried to purchase said front panel only to be denied by someone at ASKO. This company is ridiculously incompetent! Almost $2000 for a rusty mess! ASKO REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!
