Asko Dish Whisperer Reviews
Pros: Reliable, attractive, easy to use, cleans very well
Cons: Expensive, plastics don't dry even after long drying cycle
Overall: We've had this dishwasher for about 9 months now. We have the stainless steel model which is very attractive. We had a slightly smaller than average cavity under our bench (59cm) so only a few dishwashers would fit and we were limited for choice. The Asko D5131SS slotted in perfectly and has not disappointed us. We are a small family and use this for all our dishes including plastic children's plates and our pots and pans. We use it every 1-2 days and haven't ever had a problem with it leaving residue on the dishes or not cleaning thoroughly. We use the 'normal wash' setting though, as we found the 'daily wash' wasn't quite thorough enough. It is quite a long wash cycle but it includes a drying cycles which is useful for unloading the dishes. One annoyance is the plastic dishes don't seem to dry even after a long drying cycle. Regardless, we are very happy with this machine. It is a bit more than we would have liked to have paid, but we were limited in our choice due to space so we have been very happy with what we ended up with.

Pros: Fairly quiet, movable cutlery basket
Cons: Looong run time (2 1/2 hours for normal wash)
Overall: Bought this model mainly for the low noise level for an open plan kitchen and it is pretty quiet. Has a really long wash cycle (2 1/2 hours for normal wash), so not very practical to run a load through just before the guests arrive. Washing ability not great if run on the shorter settings. Also throws plastic containers around a lot so leaves them full of soapy water. Love the movable cutlery basket. Not sure if it cleans any better than my previous 15 year old fisher and paykel at half the price.

Pros: Does everything Asko said it would & more so!
Cons: nothing so far.
Overall: I've now had this new machine for a month & only good news to report!Delivered at the EXACT day & time directly from Asko. Very impressed.
I unpacked & installed myself (I was replacing my old machine). All fitted perfectly. Good instruction book to follow.
Machines washes & amazingly drys everything so well! That's with the drying option switched OFF!! Plastic stuff is still a bit wet, but I just prop the door open & they all drip dry OK.
I only use the quicker "Daily Wash" option & everything is still washed well. I don't even use the most expensive brand tablets either.

Pros: By buying direct from the company, they can also install for you (for a fee) so you can have it up and running quite quickly. I also chose this brand instead of some of the others in the price range because of the build quality. The inside cavity is ss compared to others which have more plastic. It does the job it's meant to do, and very well.
Cons: There's nothing I don't like about this dishwasher but it would be handy to have a cycle completion alarm.
Overall: This is my first ever dishwasher so I have nothing to compare it with but it does everything I'd expect from a dishwasher and that is clean dishes well. Even baked on cookware come up sparkling. I'd only have to re-wash an item if I didn't stack properly as I'm still getting used to that side of things. While it's not annoyingly noisy, it's definately not whisper quiet.

Pros: very neat looking machine,no knobs and is child proof which is a big plus. It is very quiet which is what I expected for a dishwasher at the price that it is and washes very very well even on the quick wash.
Cons: None really except that the normal wash cycle is long but one third of that is drying time.
Overall: I have had this machine since the start of the year and have no regrets about buying it. An old saying but very true, you get what you pay for.

Here's a list of questions other people have asked about Asko Dish Whisperer
Do dishes need to be rinsed before loading?
Melissa Prince asked on Nov 10, 2011
No they don't, (except for pots that have food stuck to the bottom, which will only come off in a heavy wash, which I don't use very often) but I almost always do rinse just to save the excess build-up in the filter. However, when the filter does fill up it is very easy to clean out - I just hate doing it! :) Hope this helps.
