next generation designs. Like every ASKO dishwasher before them, our new tall-tank
models out-clean ordinary units while using far less water and electricity. They’re
super-quiet, dependable and backed by the most highly regarded warranty in the
industry. No wonder ASKO dishwashers stand head and shoulders above other brands.

THE REAL WORLD CALLS FOR
LIFE-SIZED LAUNDRY SOLUTIONS
When ASKO does the laundry, you get outstanding results, plus you also get
something extra. ASKO Washers and Dryers are designed to clean like no other,
all while using less electricity, water and detergent, too. With features such as
stainless steel drums that never rust or corrode, and our innovative self-contained
water heaters for the most precise temperature control possible, ASKO sets a
new standard for clean, no matter which setting you choose. And every ASKO
appliance is backed by the best warranty anywhere. Laundry never had it so good.

In European tests, tests, ASKO washers earned the the highest possible rating of "A" for overall cleaning, rinsing
and energy and water efficiency. They also rinsed out almost 40% more detergent residue. And all
our washers proudly bear the US EnergyStar® label identifying highly efficient products and and superior
energy energy performance. performance. Better cleaning, better rinsing, rinsing, better conservation of precious resources.
ASKO holds up to 14 lbs of clothes —
twice the average American’s wash load.
That translates to about 14 full-sized
bath towels or seven pairs of jeans. And
since ASKO washers have no spacestealing
central agitator, they’ll even hold
the large blankets and bedspreads that
choke top-loaders.
ASKO holds more, yet is smaller
on the outside than conventional
machines. That makes for easy
installation in compact locations.
And ASKO units are stackable,
so you can store them in closets,
under stairs — just about anywhere
that’s handy.
ASKO's new, fully electronic EasyControl ASKO's new, fully electronic EasyControl system
offers a variety of controls. You can choose

An ASKO washer can rinse up to seven times and remove virtually all
detergent and soil residue, yet still use just 20 gallons of water. A typical
top-load washer rinses no more than twice, many front-loaders only
three times, and all leave lots of residue. The ASKO is great for people
with sensitive skin, allergies, or just an aversion to itchy, smelly residue.7to3 An ASKO washer can rinse up to seven times and remove virtually all

An ASKO washer can precisely match
the optimal temperature for any garment
or stain. From cold (85°F) to warm
(120°F), or as hot as 205°F for maximum
germ-killing effectiveness, ASKO can
handle it. Since ASKO connects only to
cold water and heats internally, you have
plenty left in your hot water tank for a
relaxing bubble bath.

Most washers use about 44 gallons of
water per normal load. ASKO washers use
only about 15. An ASKO pair can wash and
dry a typical load for about 28¢—a fraction
of what other machines cost. That’s because
ASKO uses up to 75% less water and
electricity for a normal load. ASKO washers
clean so efficiently, you need only one-third
the detergent and no chlorine bleach.
