Asko W8844XL ECO

I bought the larger version of the Asko new to reduce number of loads but this machine has real problems with towels and just refuses to spin regardless of whether I reduce number of towels or rearrange load.
My Miele lasted 20 years and never missed a beat in that time regardless of what I put into it.
I doubt if this Asko will go the distance since it's not performing the basics from the get go and thinking of replacing it before too long.
Also extremely noisey.

Nothing but trouble since we've had it. The Good Guys salesman convinced me that I would be buying a super reliable washing machine that was built stronger than any other on the market and wouldn't give me any trouble! There has been fault message after fault message and now there is power to the machine but the program won't start...... 6 people to wash for, I'm losing my patience with it.

An excellent job for example ready to replace doona washed on Max heat Max 14000 spin came out like New and relatively dry so easy hang and finish drying
High rated for per and water consumption/ electricity salesman said he'd had one for 25 years never broke down.
Installed it myself easy as hook up the hose remove restaining bolts at the rear the unit, plug it away it went 1st go...

only Machine without a rubber seal on the door and that is the reason we purchased it.
Quiet well modulated machine with ease of function and range of cycles. Good quality build, durable and fully functional.
It washes all fabric types well and has appropriate cycles to match. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality washing machine.

I bought the Asko ECO machine. It washes pretty well, the clothes come out clean and I like that I can choose the temperature, wash time and type of spin cycle. I do have trouble closing the door as it take a lot of strength - so I push it closed with my knee and body weight. I don't like how once the door is closed it can't be opened. I've had it for around 2 years but have only used it for last 6 months, I hope it lasts longer than others have experienced. I paid extra to get the ECO model and was told there was on overnight ECO wash but can't find a setting for it all.

Clean my clothes well but work clothes I have to soak them otherwise they will never be clean it doesn’t wear out the colors very quiet the best feature in this washing machine is the hot water hose option it saves electricity
The only thing I don’t like is when I forget something and I wanna but it with the load it starts all over

I have always preferred a front loading washing machine. The only feature I did not like was the rubber collar around the entrance to the drum. It always got mouldy and dirty, hard to clean.
So when I went shopping for a new washing machine I discovered that asko had addressed this issue with a new design that avoided the issue of the rubber neck. I think it's great, best design. It's very easy to use.

Since the day we got this machine we had numerous problems, flooding the laundry, numerous door issues, leaking. We had replacements and they were faulty as well.

After numerous calls and technicians I was finally put on to Vani who organised for the machine to be picked up and a full refund given. This was the only positive.

Prior to buying my next washing machine I spoke to some technicians and they stated if I had got a smaller Asko it would have been amazing but the 10kg has numerous problems therefore stay away.

I really wanted an asko maybe in future once they refine the 10kg I may re-consider

Reading some of the other reviews I wonder if they have the same machine. Mine works perfectly, I have 4 very messy kids and some of the clothes I had 'written off' from stains came out perfectly clean. My clothes come out clean and very dry (halved the time required to dry them). I absolutely love it!

After my last Asko died at 17 years old I decided to give the brand another try and so far the machine has been great. It does a great job on my mechanic husband's work clothes and my whites are radiant. However, after reading the other reviews I think I am pleased that I took out the extended warranty although I hope not. It has lots of choices of wash program, temperature and spin speed. I love mine in any case.

Got this one to replace an old 6kilo Asko, glad we decided for the 10kilo. Means we can throw an entire set of sheets, quilt cover + pillow cases & still have room to spare.
No longer need to go to the laundromat to do our quilt any more.
Left the detergent divider in the when washing a white couch cover so it only had the oxygen bleach to wash & still came out white even without the detergent being used.
Very happy with another Asko machine.

We bought this and the washing comes out still wetter than our top loader just about to give it back. No help from asko.
