A unique laundry experience is waiting to unfold
The ASKO story began with the invention of a life-changing laundry appliance. Our story is still unfolding today. Each new chapter brings new ideas and appliances. New levels of health and hygiene. And new ways of caring for clothes while caring for the world around us. But even though our story is constantly evolving, certain timeless elements remain – like our passion for innovation and intuitive design; our commitment to quality and craftsmanship; and our respect for the timeless Scandinavian design tradition. Combining these elements enables us to continue building appliances that make life easier and better for ASKO users.
Washing Machines
We work from the basis that carefully designed products should improve your health, your wellbeing, and your quality of life. Over the years, we've designed and developed washing machines that makes a home beautiful and functional, as well as providing the best possible results. We removed the biggest bacteria trap inside a typical washing machine: namely, the rubber door bellow. Instead, we use a unique, hygienic and maintenance-free Steel Seal™ solution in all of our washing machines. This means that there is simply no place for dirt to gather. All of our washing machines also have Quattro Construction™ – in which the inner and outer drum rest on four shock absorbers attached to the bottom plate, giving a lower noise level and, overall, a more durable washing machine.
Tumble Dryers
ASKO’s Heat Pump Dryers are closed systems in which air constantly circulates, meaning that they can be installed in confined spaces. The air is dehumidified with the help of an evaporator instead of heat alone, allowing lower temperatures to be used in the process. This, in turn, makes the drying process gentler, without any loss of drying capacity or effectiveness. The Heat Pump Dryer also reduces the risk of shrinkage – meaning very sensitive fabrics can be tumbled. Our Heat Pump technology, in combination with our Sensi Dry system and a wide range of automatic programs, makes our Heat Pump Tumble Dryers extremely energy-efficient.
The experts’ choice
At ASKO, we are committed to designing washing machines that are asthma- and allergy-free. This commitment has resulted in all ASKO washing machines being awarded the prestigious Sensitive Choice award by the National Asthma Council Australia. Sensitive Choice Products have been reviewed and approved by an independent panel of experts that can include everything from an allergist to a respiratory physician. With our Steel Seal™ concept, ASKO washing machines are the only domestic washing machines without rubber bellows. This combined with our allergy programs and extra rinse function means 95% less microbiological load, less viruses, bacteria, mould, mites and no detergent residue.
We are very proud to have passed the test.
Drying Cabinets
Check the labels on your clothes and you’ll see that many of your favourite garments and materials need handling with extreme care. This is when a drying cabinet comes in handy. Drying cabinets are common in Scandinavia, where the wet, cold climate often calls for clothes to be dried quickly, even heavy outerwear and shoes. A drying cabinet is a practical solution, but also one that's been developed to be gentle on your most sensitive fabrics – since there's no mechanical action that can wear your clothes out. The cabinet's air stream transports residual moisture away, meaning that it’s almost like drying your clothes outdoors.
Hidden Helpers
Typically, a laundry room might be – let's say – somewhat on the cosy side. If this is the case in your home, our hidden helpers can make life a lot easier. They're laundry accessories that, instead of taking up a lot of flooring space, are designed to fit conveniently between your washer and dryer, or even under them. They're easy to access and discreetly hidden from view – and, regardless which solution you choose, they add function and harmony, and let you take even better care of your favourite items of clothing.
