Our own Travlincub is here in Reno and just like Dan has discovered our haulaway pile. Just like Christmas... Just yesterday, A very good friend and customer bought a new Maytag 9000 frontload set and asked me to find these Askos a good home. I guess Las Vegas is a good home. I have little experience with Askos so I will ask the pros their opinion. Good or not so good... BTW there is NOTHING wrong with them The controls just didn't do what she wanted them to... Here's the washer: Model WL6511 XXLW

I'm telling you. Cub has decided to leave his W/P D/D (which was a basket case for me to try to breathe life into...) to make room for these in the van. I found out that they are still current models, too. He also has noted what a wonderful place our haulaway pile is... His eyes got all big at all the machines in back... RCD | ||

We ran them thru several loads of heavy shop towels to see how (and if...) they worked. I'm actually impressed on how they did. The water level actually seemed decent, the wash action was good and the loads spun out with no vibration at all. Very quiet too. You'll still have to pry my MAH4000's out of my cold dead fingers but these aren't bad. TCub liked the sanitary cycle with the water heating. I looked these up and Asko still has these listed as current models. So now Cub has to fit his belt drive, the Maytag d/w and the Askos into a Kia mini van... If he had his way, Kevin's GE set and my Wards 'burpalator' would be going as well... I didn't realize that the Askos were so big. All I've ever seen were the smaller units... RCD | ||

These machines look interesting. This is actually the first time that I have seen them in other pictures than those on the Asko website. I assume they can't be very old, not older than a few years, perhaps newer. If you are in the opportunity to make a video of the washer I would love to see it. Louis | ||

Our lucky cub...
Turns out after calling Asko, the set had come with a 3 year full warranty and still has 2 years to go... They also offered to come out to his place in Vegas to do a free delint and P/M on them once they're in place... What a gift indeed... I shot some video of the washer in action and will have it up shortly. RCD | ||
