I was very unsure about purchasing this product as I did not know anything about it. However, I have been pleasantly surprised with its performance to date. I scrape the dishes and sometimes lightly rinse them before putting in dishwasher; I have used the rinse and hold a couple of times. The tablet (Aldi's brand) fits nicely into the holder in the door and pops out easily each time the machine is used. The dishes are washed to a gleaming shine and they are completely dry when I remove them from the machine. I have read quite a few negat...Read more

This dishwasher runs quietly and the dishes come out clean. I do soak and rinse most of the items before they go in as I like to use minimal dishwashing powder. When the machine 'beeps' to advise the cycle is complete, it is helpful to open the door and let the steam out to assist with drying. I usually take the plastic items out and cool/dry separately on a drying mat situated on the kitchen bench. When on my own, I use the D/W approx. every 5 days. When I have visitors, the machine can be used daily.
I purchased the D/W through Harvey Norma...Read more

Bought this machine as had recieved good reviews of asko dishwashers lasting well however began having issues after 4 months, the heating element broke first and the computer also needed replacing twice. First two warranty claims were fixed taking about 2 months, 3rd warranty claim asko didnt want to know about however after calling twice a day for 2 weeks, calling harvey norman as much it was fixed eventually. Recieved terrible customer service from Asko, Asko did not return phone calls, I was frequently on hold for >30mins at a time and frequ...Read more

Compared to our previous dishwashers, an LG and a Beko, its really no better at all. It does wash OK, but doesn’t dry very well unless you open the door. We think it lacks wash options. It does have an ECO wash, but from our experience it is no more economical to use this cycle than the normal cycle as it takes a lot longer. The racks are pretty well thought out, but don’t expect to fill it with 14 normal size plates. It is quiet, but again no better than our old LG or the Beko. The cutlery cage looks good, but has some pieces to it that restri...Read more

We got it about 2 years ago. main reason is this one can connect direct to hot water as we only have hot water supply under sink for dishwasher.
Very quiet,
clearing good.
space is huge as we got a built in one.
But :
the mark on the switch are begin to fade after few weeks.
the Tablet not dissolve some time. even on some powder .
You can see the Tablet hatch door can not open fully as it will touch the upper basket. it only open about 30 degree.
so when the hatch door opened during the cycle. the tablet may not drop to the machine floor. it only used the jetted water to dissolve the power or table.
I try use cold water connection but no different. ...Read more

The previous dishwasher was a Miele and I wanted to have a better one, I should not have done that, tn four months I called the service department four time because of loudness and racket the machine does, the second time the technician removed a water restrictor in line with the cold water, it seemed working, however shortly later it was screaming again, I called the service but they could not find the problem.
I asked to have it replaced ( it was only 4 months old), however, the manager wanted to have a recording to prove the noise,apparen...Read more

Dishwasher D5424 does not dry properly. It does not has any in-built mechanism to assist drying.

We set the dishwasher on 'Long drying/high temperature/Heavy wash and start washing at 9 pm. We unload the dishwasher next morning at around 9am. Inside the dishwasher, the roof is still very wet and a lot of our washing still have big water droplets. We spoke to Asko and they insist that the wetness is normal.

D5424 is our second dishwasher. Our first Asko dishwasher finished much dryer than the D5424. And, my daughter just bought a ...Read more

I was instantly unimpressed with the purchase of my D5424 in March and 6 months later I am still regretting this purchase. For a $1000+ dishwasher, I am underwhelmed with its results. In no particular order of issues: a) It is difficult to change wash programmes as the dial isn't user friendly, b) the cutlery basket is bulky and took up too much space and the cutlery handles touched each other and left rust marks so I reverted to using the basket I had rescued from my old Samsung which keeps each cutlery item separated by the grid style ...Read more

I just purchased my second Asko Dishwasher. We purchased the same model that we had before and it lasted 4 years. When I purchased the first one it came with a 2 year warranty. Asko have now extended the warranty to 5 years. We could have had the old one repaired outside of warranty. We expected that if we went down this road it would have cost about $300 - $400. We came to the opinion that we were better of putting that money towards a new one. This is were it get's weird. We call into our local Asko dealer JBHiFi and they have a big spec...Read more
