Have had my Asko washing machine for a couple of months now and am super happy with it. There are so many useful functions. The water temp is very accurate as the inlet is cold water only and the water is heated to an accurate temperature by the machine. It is user friendly and the controls are quite intuitive though you will need to keep the manual nearby until you become familiar with all the options. I love the 'dose assist' function as it tells you how much laundry liquid to use - one of the most common problems with all washing machines is over-dosing so this function ensures the correct dose for every load. Our linen and grubby sportswear have never been so fresh and clean. We've had many Asko appliances over the years and they have always been of excellent quality.
