Asko W6564

Never buy Asko, they are very noisey with very poor tech support – Bought this machine in good faith, paying extra for quality. The machine was delivered and installed by an Asko trained installer, after 4years the machine started making loud bangs, Asko tech came out to no avail, called again, was not believed, Tech came out again and changed support strut, the banging was worse. The technician bills adding up.… Read more

I have just been to Stan cash to purchase another machine ( not assco ) and was told Asko Know about this fault. Asko come out and fix your machine for free this time and reimburse me the money i have spent on your so called Technicians

Avoid buying – I bought the Asko W 6564 , back in 2017 , as I wanted a good quality brand , that would go the distance . I treated it kindly , used minimal detergent, and have just been told by my service technician, that two of the cylinder supports are broken .( it had started making a terrible sound on the fast spin )The machine washed well , but I would… Read more

definitely expect the structural integrity of the machine to last at minimum, 10 years , not just over 5 ! That will without a doubt , be the last Asko washer, I ever purchase !

Never buy Asko Again – Bought this machine 6 years, thought was a premium brand will last for more than 10 years. Paid more than $1700 for this machine. Now every time when i try to spin, machine will make very loud noise and i have to stop it. Check on website, their service fee is very high, $140 for call out, and then charge $35 per every 15 minutes. And this does… Read more

not guarantee a 100% fix.

The internal machine very easy to build up dirt too, all the black stuff around inner drum.

I will never buy ASKO again, with this amount of investment, i can buy a much better machine with 10 years warranty.

Only one way to describe junk. JUNK – Had this washer since about 2018. Like most, purchased due to reputation and alleged quality. It has admittedly washed very well on the short 80 minute cycle. Not so. By the end of 2019 it had an annoying squeak when operating. Asko by then had no service people due to the beginning of a pandemic! Local 'agents' came, changed a control board… Read more

which was not connected properly and broken and failed to resolve the issue. Early January they removed a coin from the lint trap and told me all good. The squeak remains.

Now it trips the power. 6 weeks to get a service person out - local 'agents' again as ASKO will not service out of warranty units!

Insult to injury. I have informed ASKO that due to the impossiblity or servicing which they refuse to do, and the remaining issues, now getting worse, this unit was not fit for purpose and under my rights I wanted a refund. Their response was to offer a discount on the most expensive machine they have! Yes, pay them ANOTHER $1.3K for the privilege of having a rubbish washer!

Off to Fair trading for us.

We would never go back to top load washers – We had a Fisher and Paykel top load washer and moved to a 7kg Asko Front Load washer. We have a family of four, the 7kg is more suited to two people perhaps we will move up to an 8.5kg next time, we wouldn't need any bigger. Our Doonas go to the local laundry service for $25 each I am not going to wreak our washer as Doonas are like big Tampons,… Read more

they suck the water in and what was 4kg is now 10kg which puts a massive load on any washer. Friends by washers to suit their Donnas - I don't know if I am missing something here but I only wash my doonas once a year and $25 each is a great investment to ensure they are washed correctly and I don't stuff my washer up by asking it to do more than it should.

This machine has never let us down, it has always washed our clothes clean from filthy mechanics overalls to silk pillow cases. It is a lot kinder on our clothes than the old agitator top loaders and kinder on my back as I no longer have to bend forward and lift up heavy loads our of a drum, I just drag them out into my laundry basket this has certainly helped me with my back/shoulder/neck injury.

We love the way is spins the clothes dry. They are that dry that putting them on the clothes line would be stupid. 10 minutes in the dryer and away we go. We have not used the clothes line at all since we have bought the Asko Front Load Washer and;

Our power bill took a steep drop down, the Asko uses hardly any electricity at all. It is quite except when it does the 1600rpm final spin but that is not a lot of noise and it is only for a few minutes.

We have ordered a new Asko Heat Pump Dryer to go on top of the washer so I will let you know how that goes. If I couldn't afford an Asko Washer/Dryer I would go for the matched pair in LG or Fisher and Paykel, friends own them and love them too. I don't think there will be any top load washers around in a couple of years time, I know I tell all of my friends to get a front load washer, many cannot work out why there is no lint filter on a front load washer, that is because lint is caused by the damage done to your clothes, that is what lint is. We use the quick cycle 30 mins or 45 mins with a extra rinse or the auto cycle for real dirty clothes. We purchased the extended 5 year warranty as we always do on major appliances.

This is a good product – Good quality washing machine, clothes has been washed very clean. High rating for water and electricity saving. But the looking is a bit plaint, doesn’t have a very fancy looking Show details

LOVE IT! – I love my washing machine. I have had it for about 5 years now and it has never let me down. I even brought a second one for home. It spins the clothes almost dry and i also love how the rubber ring is on the door it make's it a lot easier to clean  Show details

Terrible – My washing machine MODEL W6564 W washing for to long sometimes washing cycle goes for all day

Reliable for 2yrs. Springs broke after and it doesnt stabilise – Paid a lot of money for this unit. I think its best to get a cheaper model that you can throw out after 5 years and get a brand new one. things are not made to last anymore when you go for expensive brands. Show details

timing – the programming of the machine needs fixing in the factory . not on site. The programmer should have spend more time at school It just goes on 2 programs the rest if you are lucky Show details

Stay away from Asko – I bought this machine in 2013. It worked OK for the first two years and then started leaking and wild vibration with noise. This was bought from Harvey Norman where the salesman described it being a high quality product. The price was certainly high. It is beyond my belief that now-a-days one can consciously sell such a poorly made product.  Show details

Can live without this machine ! – Bought this machine 2016 had or 8 months before it started to make grinding noise called out warranty guys who came round had a look and got 55.cents out of bottom of machine said that was problem And left 3 days later started to make noise again got hubby to check filter nothing empty called guys out again who told me it was fine and they… Read more

couldn't find nothing wrong , but told me if called out again will gots me 99.00 for call out if they find nothing wrong,machine started leaking called out again funny enough they couldn't find nothing wrong and said maybe filter wasnt on tight enough , machine dont wash well always making grinding noise as if it has trouble spinning clothes but can only wash very few items for it to wash properly so dont feel this is the case even though it's srptill under warranty i won't be calling out will wait untill it stops working and buy better brand of machine , good luck if you buy one of these you might need it.but honestly do not buy.

Stay away from Asko – I purchased this machine in 2012. I received a DOA machine, Asko replaced very quickly I must admit. But every since we got the replacement machine has had problems. Warranty replaced several parts. Asko is very secretive about what they replace. Machine moves everywhere goes out of balance very quickly, rusty detergent section. I bought it… Read more

because on papers shows to be the most water and energy efficient in the market getting a 5 stars, but 1 star in quality and durability. Stay away from Asko.

Terrible washing machine for price we paid – This washing machine has been nothing but trouble. We have regrettably been stuck with it for years as we paid so much for it we couldn’t afford a new one. We had technicians come out within the first month as it leaks and has leaked ever since. He told us we overfilled it and could only wash 1 towel at a time and a pair of jeans at a time. I… Read more

thought that was absolutely ridiculous as I’ve never had to do that previously to my washing machines and this one is supposed to be “top of the range”. It’s constantly coming up with errors even though the filter is clean and nothing is clogging it. I wish I never listened to the salesman and picked LG as I had an LG washing machine that lasted over 10 years.

I’m sick and tired of having a puddle in the laundry every time I use it. We have an asko dishwasher and it’s fantastic. This washing machine must be a dud but the customer service people were so rude to me as it’s now out of warranty and basically told me to get lost and it’s my problem for not calling sooner even though I had called within warranty period and they would never send another technician out without a call out fee because one had already been in the first month to fix the problem. Asko really need to get their act together.

Piece of junk ( expensive junk) – Pump broke down twice in 3 years, detergent dispenser never worked properly. Now it comes with flashing display at the end of cycle, can't open the door even after power down. For that sort of money I expected at least 4-5 years trouble free. That's it, I had it. Off to the tip.  Show details

W6564 brushless motor never wears out.......now I know why – I bought the machine $1800 plus because my wife will run it pretty well every day. I thought fair enough go the best buy Asko, with a brushless motor to boot. Machine lasted 4 years, then one day it just stopped. Why.......Im guessing the circuit board. Turns on fills with water as per cycle - counts down whilst its filling but then when it should… Read more

spin the motor ( and doesnt ) the timer stops.

To reset the machine: turn off the machine with the power button, wait 5 seconds and then hold down the key button ( door lock ) and whilst holding the door lock button, turn it back on. This is supposed to do a total reset. By the way this didnt help me. I wont be buying Asko again

what a piece of junk – We purchased a top of the line washing machine and dryer. after 6 years we have had 6 major faults over the two machines. The dryer had 3 faults so they replaced it. after about 2 years it broke down again , while it was in being repaired they noticed it took a long time to dry and told us the heat pump has packed up and will cost over $1000 to… Read more

fix on top of the other repair. so that is in the bin its junk. I cant sell the washing machine as it has gone rusty all around the soap filler and needs a whole new front and soap drawer.

I can not wait to get rid of this over priced rubbish, the crap only lasts a couple of years not the 20 Plus years we were told at the point of sale, don't buy this rubbish.

Doesn’t go the distance – We have had our Asko front loader 7 years. Have been happy up to now . Only complaint that door is rather hard to close, needs a very firm push. Purchased an Asko expecting it would last at least 15 years but after extremely loud noise on spin and had someone out to look at it . Bearings need replacing , $650 to fix . unfortunately no extended… Read more

warranty as expected quality and no issues. Now have to decide which brand to try next. Meanwhile off to the laundromat. Very disappointing.

Looked Good At First – This is our second Asko, the first one was the old "lasts twenty years" type and we only got rid of it due to travelling overseas. This new on is just not as well made and I am a little disappointed with it. Its just a year old and already the body is rusting is two places that I know of - around the soap dispenser and under neath near the legs.… Read more

It runs OK but they seem to be suing cheap sheet metal these days - no way this will last 10 years. The boy will definitely give up before that,. Not as good as they used to be!

such a waste of money!!!!! – I had a cheap machine before which lasted for over 10 years and still was in a working condition when I had to get rid of it. This expensive one lasted for 4 and a half years of very light washing and then started "jumping" in the laundry making terrible noise. Will never consider buying this brand in the future. It is better to buy a cheap… Read more

machine every 5 years than to be stuck with the expensive one after 5 years...with just expired extended warranty.

Not thrilled – Bought this expensive machine because we expected it to out last any previous cheaper machines. Cleans quite well and is economical water wise however has developed an extremely loud rattle and cuts the main power off to the house. Leave it switched off for three days and it starts up again but gets to the spin cycle and blows everything again. Had repair man out twice. Going to replace with one of the much cheaper brands. Not happy.  Show details

It washes and it's strong – Yes it washes no problems there and it is good on delicates and permanent press. It however, flatly refuses to spin just one item - overbalances EVERYTIME regardless of how evenly it is placed in the drum. I have to chuck a towel in with it to balance the load - the only way out. After 9 months it needed a bearing replaced - service was no… Read more

fuss, easy and no questions asked.

One positive is that it is strong - I retrieved a USB, lego, three nails a marble and $1.40 in coins from the pump filter...I've heard stories of other machines being ripped apart by a bobby pin. This was a major selling point for us.

It does what it's meant to do...it washes, it's very quiet...perhaps a bit smaller (load capacity) than I anticipated but overall good. The $1700 was hard to swallow but at least the nails didn't rip this one's innards out!

Wanted this machine to be like my last Asko – After having a Asko that had had lasted many years. I decided to get another, on the whole it has worked to an acceptable standard. it washed and spun as it was supposed to. I live by myself so the machine was not overworked. A week before Christmas one of my power switches started to trip. then on the Friday before the New Year long weekend I… Read more

put a load on after work, and went to put the washing out an hour and a half later I went to the machine and there was no lights on. I checked the fuse box that was ok. so it was a total failure of the machine. Got my washing out and washed at my brothers. Thank you.

Cleared out my laundry to check power lead. that was ok. So surmised that the motherboard had gone the machine would not light up.

Came to the Product Review to see if anyone else had had the same problem. there was.

noticed that to have a repair person to fix the problem the cost would be about $600. So a toss up whether to call somebody in and wait, or get a new Machine. which is what I did.

I did take the top cover off to see if pests had got in, they had not, and no burnt smell

Pity the machine worked well. a bit noisy winding up the spin cycle.

Worth the price tag, saves me hours – All cycles are flawless Runs a great quick cycle Perfect for delicates, silk dresses are absolutely fine on the wool delicate wash, I was nervous at first but I think the machine is easier on the clothing than me hand washing. Fantastic. It is not too loud. Absolutely love it  Show details

Good machine - door hard to close – Purchased the Asko W6564 - my first front loader. The machine when delivered has bolts in the back of it to ensure it is not damaged in transit. A great idea - I recommend you save these!! Machine works well, front loaders are extremely slow!! The cycle I use takes 1hr 30 min. One can make this shorter. Washing and rinse quality are… Read more

excellent. I have never had fluff etc on cloths, and being a male, I dont separate washing by fabric, color etc. The machine has a very fast spin 1600 rpm. The only negative is the front door is hard to close - and slamming it closed will result in an expensive repair. I push the door close then with my hand still in place, hit the back of this hand with my free hand - this works well. I cannot get the 'flick' action Asko suggest. Asko generally have a fixed price - hence purchase when they have a $100.00 off deal!!-
