I agree with Mike, of those three the Asko is the best. I would love to play with one of those Bendix machines, but you don't see them very often overhere. Around ten years ago they were sold overhere in the Netherlands but after a while they disappeared from the market. Have never seen them in Germany. I'm surprised they now turn up in Australia, it's an older design.

ASKO.I've had a few that the customers discarded and they,once repaired,worked great and did tons of wash.None of them had major issues.One needed a new belt,another needed a new panel (just the frame not the electronics) and another needed the button catcher severely cleaned out.It was blocking the flow of water out through the pump.

Would go for the Bendix if I were you, purely 'cos it looks like a real solid machine. However, based on the info in this thread about the Asko and if you want a machine that stands the test of time, it seems like a no brainer, to quote a previous poster! | ||

ASKO
...which was previously known here as ASEA and then ASKO ASEA. Mum updated hers when it was 19yrs old and it was just starting to give timer trouble (slow to start...but then ran fine). That particular machine is still going strong at a mates who has two young children. Out of the ones you have mentioned, it is the only one I would go for. Bendix are quite lightly built (doors, drawers and switches) and the Whirlpools don't have the best reputation either (particularly with rust) | ||

I guess somebody screwed up Bendix like White Consolidated did Frigidaire. What a bummer. NorfolkSouthern | ||

Asko Hi Guys. Does the Asko machine have a cast iron drum cradle, looking at the pics on here, it looks like it has a cast iron drum cradle Paul. | ||

Thanks Chris Iv'e been without power for 3 days and its finnaly on. haha i only did two loads and lost the power. ive got it on now and i did what you said to do the day i got it. no problems. it has a bit of slack but my other whirlpool did that too and i never had a drum problem with it. the worst i get is the rubber making that nasty gunge noise when its out of balance. Detergent wise I use omo matic, surf matic, Bio zet for frontloaders and radiant matic. I dont do half scoops unless its a half load and once a month i put the machines on cottons 95 with a morning fresh tablet in it and wipe anything else down when its all done. am i doing anything that could cost me heaps???? Heres a pic of what its doing now. all tucked in and just "kickin it fresh"
