Scandinavian Laundry Care 2.0
Innovation rooted in 75 years of perfection
With over 75 years of expertise in redefining laundry care, ASKO continues to set new standards in performance, hygiene, and design. Inspired by the life-changing washing machine that began the brand’s story in 1950, the new generation of Scandinavian Laundry Care 2.0 combines timeless craftsmanship with ground-breaking innovation. At the heart of this evolution are two signature technologies: Steel SealTM, where durable steel replaces rubber for a cleaner, more hygienic wash, and Quattro ConstructionTM 2.0, an exclusive suspension system that eliminates noise and vibrations for an exceptionally smooth experience. From washing machines to tumble dryers each product is built to work beautifully, last longer, and care for you, your clothes, and the world around us. ASKO’s legacy is one of innovation, precision, and elegance – and the next chapter is only just beginning.
With ASKO appliances, laundry day is never a chore.
The beginning of ASKO was a simple act of love. In the 1950s, Karl-Erik Andersson, a young Swedish farmer from Jung has invented a washing machine to ease his mother’s burden of hand- washing laundry. This invention was more than a helpful appliance – it was a breakthrough in domestic engineering, featuring superior cleaning performance, built-in water heating, and a durable stainless-steel structure. From this humble beginning, ASKO has grown into a global brand known for its premium kitchen and laundry appliances, all crafted to meet the highest standards. ASKO washing machines are available in white, titanium and graphite black.
ASKO laundry appliances are always designed to provide something extra – from ease of use and more efficient performance to a larger loading capacity and superior hygiene. ASKO washing machines and tumble dryers are also designed to work in perfect harmony to meet everyday needs – whether it’s machines with a larger capacity for a busy household or a more compact appliance to suit modern urban living. With high-quality materials and durable construction, ASKO appliances are guaranteed to deliver superior performance for years to come.
ASKO STEEL SEAL WASHING MACHINE
Expertly crafted to gently clean clothes in the most hygienic way possible. With their range of washing machines, ASKO’s aim is to design sustainable, state-of-the-art appliances that gently clean and care for your clothes in the most hygienic way possible. They feature time and energy-saving programmes and high-quality materials, while their elegant form effortlessly integrates with any space and embodies ASKO’s enduring passion for timeless Scandinavian design.
They also feature a wide range of unique ASKO innovations:
• Steel SealTM replaces rubber bellows with steel and combines a stainless-steel inner and outer drum to create the most healthy and hygienic conditions possible.
• Quattro ConstructionTM 2.0 suspension system ensures a solid, stable performance that is virtually vibration-free while the Active DrumTM provides perfect balance.
• The unique combination of ASKO Sensi Save 2.0, Pro Wash and Super Rinse guarantees a superior wash that saves time, water and energy and Aqua Safe plus guards against leaks.
• Auto Dose ensures that you always use the right amount of detergent, while a wide range of programs ensures that will always find the right settings to suit your wash.
ASKO Quattro ConstructionTM 2.0: Stable, superior performance with virtually no vibrations.
When ASKO builds washing machines, every single component is optimised in terms of performance, hygiene, and sustainability. This attention to detail is exemplified by Quattro ConstructionTM 2.0 – ASKO’s exclusive washing machine suspension system that virtually eliminates noise and vibrations to create an altogether more pleasant environment. Reinforced feet and a reinforced steel bottom plate ensure consistently solid contact with the floor while the reinforced top cover reduces noise and vibration more effectively than ever before. The drum, door and damper system combine to ensure unbeatable stability, including minimizing any large movements of the drum which are often caused by heavy loads. There is also a motorized door lock which centres and closes the door tightly while reducing any noise from the lock itself.
With Quattro ConstructionTM 2.0, an innovation from the professional laundry world has found its perfect place in the home.
ASKO Steel SealTM: For an extremely hygienic wash and a germ-free drum.
Over time, the rubber bellows in washing machines trap dirt and grime to become a breeding ground for bacteria. ASKO Steel SealTM washing machines don’t have that problem as they are the only domestic washing machines in the world without a conventional rubber bellow. Steel SealTM ensures an extremely hygienic wash cycle and a clean, germ-free drum that will stand the test of time. As well as improving hygiene,
Steel SealTM makes loading and unloading clothes easier. ASKO washing machines with Steel SealTM also feature a motorized door lock (available for ASKO Logic, Style and Style+). The door opens and closes as usual but when you press start, the motor pulls the door inwards and tightly locks it,
ensuring the door is firmly sealed and doesn’t rattle.
It is features like Steel SealTM that have resulted in ASKO washing machines being awarded the prestigious Sensitive Choice award by the National Asthma Council Australia for their asthma- and allergy-free design. This means ASKO washing machines are as kind to allergies as they are to clothes.
ASKO BUTTERFLY DRYINGTM TUMBLE DRYER
Expertly designed to gently dry clothes and care for sensitive skin. When ASKO develops tumble dryers, they draw on their own experience as well as the experiences of those who use them daily. This gives ASKO unique insights and inspiration to come up with innovations that ensure clothes, bed sheets and other fabrics can be dried, refreshed and cared for in the most efficient way possible. ASKO tumble dryers are available in white, stainless steel and
titanium colour.
• Butterfly DryingTM with Bundle GuardTM ensures a gentle, even drying experience that eliminates bundling.
• Multi filter system with One MotionTM lint filter and Self-cleaning lower lint filter automatically keep filters lint- free for superior performance.
• BLDC motor drives the dryer in a quieter, more hygienic and more reliable way.
• A wide range of programs and drying methods are designed to suit modern everyday needs
– from a short, effective drying cycle for busy schedules to an anti-allergy cycle that is kind to sensitive skin.
ASKO Butterfly DryingTM with Bundle GuardTM: A gentle, even drying experience that eliminates bundling.
Clothes bundling in the tumble dryer is a huge inconvenience. First, you have to waste time untangling the wet clothes from the bundle and then waste energy running the program again. To eliminate bundling, ASKO tumble dryers feature Butterfly DryingTM with Bundle GuardTM. With Butterfly DryingTM, the paddles in the drum gently tumble the clothes in a figure 8 to create space between the garments, which lowers the chance of bundling. However, if bundling does occur, the Bundle GuardTM detects it through low humidity levels and changes the direction of the drum for 30 seconds to resolve the bundle before returning to the normal direction. If low humidity levels remain, this process is repeated. By reducing or resolving bundling, Butterfly DryingTM with Bundle GuardTM also reduces drying time, wear and tear on fabrics and energy consumption. It also ensures that clothes dry more evenly, and that time isn’t wasted trying to “unbundle the bundle”.
ASKO Self-cleaning lower lint filter: Automatically keeps filters lint-free.
The ASKO lower lint filter effectively keeps harmful lint away from the inner workings of ASKO tumble dryers. But for the filter to do its job, it also must be kept clean. To ensure this, ASKO tumble dryers feature a self- cleaning function that keeps the lower lint filter lint-free. The self-cleaning function uses water collected in the condenser water tank during the drying cycle. This water is automatically sprayed onto the mesh filter. The lint and dust then collect at the bottom of the filter where it can be easily removed by hand. To ensure the water used is as clean as possible, the condenser water tank features a fine mesh lint filter which is easy to remove and easy to clean. This filter also ensures clean water is used during the steam cleaning function.
Anti-allergy cotton and Anti-allergy synthetic programs: Pure performance and peace of mind for allergy sufferers.
When people with sensitive skin, allergies, or asthma use ASKO tumble dryers, they can enjoy peace of mind as well as dry, beautifully cared-for clothes. To help them do this, ASKO has created a highly effective anti-allergy program. The Anti-Allergy program uses higher temperatures for longer to kill dust mites and up to 99.99999% of bacteria. This is bad news for bacteria, but good news for allergy sufferers and good news for clothes.
About ASKO Appliances.
The ASKO story started in the 1950s. A young farmer in Jung, south of Lidköping in Sweden, saw his mother’s predicament: washing by hand is wet, cold, hard, and heavy. He wished to ease her burden, so he invented his own machine – a sturdy, steady and reliable washer in cast iron and stainless steel. The beginning of ASKO was an act of love – no more, no less. Today, ASKO is the market-leading Scandinavian brand of premium kitchen, laundry and professional appliances built on a proud 75-year heritage. ASKO products are developed by combining traditional craftsmanship, user-driven innovation, and a passion for design. Since 1950, millions of professionals and home users on all continents have experienced the unique pleasure of ASKO appliances.
ASKO Philosophy.
The combination of everyday functionality, environmental concern and clean, pleasant lines is the principal hallmark of Scandinavian design – and ASKO. The fundamental idea is that carefully designed products should improve people’s quality of life. To distinguish itself in a world of unnecessary and overly complex designs, ASKO aims for a soft, human-centric minimalism based on the principle of quiet being the new loud.
