It all began in Scandinavia

ASKO’s origins began in 1950 when a young man in a humble farming community in Vara, Sweden, was inspired to build his mother the washing machine of her dreams. It was a unique, energy and water-efficient machine - one with superior cleaning performance yet also reflecting Scandinavian values in healthy living, environmental responsibility and functional design.

70 years later, ASKO has since progressed a long way from a single washing machine to now providing a full range of appliances to millions of homes worldwide. Their love for design is proudly displayed via their impeccable craftsmanship and strong aesthetics to appeal to any discerning customer. Besides leaving an impressionable visual flair, ASKO has also pledged to create durable and functional appliances which will elevate the health and wellbeing of its users while simultaneously caring for the environment.

As a market-leading brand of premium kitchen, laundry and professional appliances, ASKO helps people cook, clean and care for their families around the world. ASKO appliances were built to last, with all products meticulously fine-tuned right down to the component level to ensure the quality of products and thus have a longer shelf life. Through the combination of award-winning designs with clever features and solutions, ASKO products were destined to become a much-loved part of people’s homes and lives.

Your environmentally conscious partner

With nature at everyone’s doorstep in Scandinavia, naturally the closeness and respect for natural landscape led to ASKO implementing the most eco-friendly solutions and making the best use out of their resources when making their products. As a rule, ASKO’s machines are water and energy-efficient of the highest grade, as well as being built to last longer for real hard-wearing sustainability. In 2007, ASKO was presented with the Nordic Swan Eco label for its dishwashers and washing machines, the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries, which has made it easy for consumers and professional buyers to choose goods and services that contribute to less environmentally damaging production and consumption.

An award-winning reputation

ASKO’s product design has earned its spotlight at the forefront of the global creative industry in 2021, as the quality and performance of its products stood out in the most coveted of international awards. Winning twice at the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD 2021 competition, the ASKO Elements wine climate cabinet and Celsius°Cooking™ induction hobs and smart cookware system were selected out of 10,000 submissions from 52 countries to recognise ASKO’s incredible commitment to craftsmanship, durable construction, passion for details, advanced technology, smart functionality and sustainable innovations. ASKO was also previously awarded the Good Designs Awards, the European Product Design Award, APDC*IDA Design Excellence Awards and Red Dot Design Award.

Feel the difference with an ASKO washer

Fashioned to take a load off your shoulders, ASKO’s Quattro Construction™ washing system incorporates a simple yet smart and innovative design. Constructed with four shock absorbers that transfer the vibrational energy from the outer drum to the bottom plate of the machine, the entire construction can stand vibration-free inside the casing while spinning at maximum speeds, thus achieving a much extended service lifespan.

Active Drum™ acts as the perfect balance to the best possible washing and rinsing performance while ensuring minimal wear and tear on fabrics. Debris such as dirt and gravel can be easily removed from the machine by guiding the load to the gentler central area of the drum from the hourglass-shaped removable lifters to the larger gaps at the edge of the drum.

The Steel Seal™ door solution eliminates the need for the conventional rubber door seal which can degrade over time and inadvertently trap dirt and grime. The seal facilitates the loading and unloading process for a more hygienic wash. Combined with the level of rinsing earned the recommendations by asthma and allergy associations in early 2010 such as Astma-och Allergiförbundet and Norges Astma-og Allergiforbund (NAAF), and by the National Asthma Council Australia in 2018.

A professional home dishwasher like no other

ASKO dishwashers distinguish themselves with more steel than any other dishwasher on the market. The new generation dishwashers emphasise their use of high-quality steel with their full-sized steel door and its eight essential steel components.

Staying close to its Scandinavian roots, ASKO’s dishwashers retain a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. This top tier appliance can merge effortlessly into your kitchen’s design and layout, while ASKO’s minimalistic design perfectly highlights a seamless transition between the door to the panel and will hide neatly beneath your countertop or behind your cabinetry.

Its patented Super Cleaning System (SCS+) feature makes sure to clean the fine filter and all interior surfaces after pre-wash to ensure a cleaner washing process during the main wash. It is an intelligent feature that saves the user time, electricity, water and effort. Meanwhile the Turbo Drying™ drying system uses a 25 percent increase in airflow to get every load of cutlery, dishes and glassware completely dry.

World’s most flexible built-in Combi Oven

ASKO’s 5-in-1 Combi Oven comes in handy when you need to cook a big gourmet dinner or a quick everyday meal in a compact kitchen space. Three main cooking and heating technologies make up the core of this product; full steam, microwaves and traditional oven, all of which can be used individually. The built-in combi oven offers endless possibilities as the microwave function can be combined with traditional oven and steam with traditional oven.

Made for compact living, this time saver makes the best of living in a small city apartment. Its sous vide program ensures an even steam flow at the exact temperature over long periods of time, enabling users to cook with the healthy steam function.

The combi steam ovens use the Pure Steam System to separate condensed water from steam which is then re-circulated into the steaming process, ensuring a comprehensive and proper steaming of the food. The Microwave Stirrer fan distributes heat waves evenly within the oven, removing the need for a turntable; this extra space gained can be used to heat larger volumes of food instead.

Oftentimes users worry about the tiresome cleaning ahead of them after using an oven, but thanks to the steam clean function, oven cleaning has never been more hassle-free. Just by regularly spraying the oven with water and creating steam, the residues become easy to clean out.
