Asko D5646SS Range

Excellent! – Very good dishwasher,So far ,So Good! Good Quality build and Performance. Thank You Show details

F:11 error code appeared just after 4 yrs – Didn’t get any extended warranty and 4 years after initial purchase, F11 error code appeared (water outlet fault). Feared the drain pump might have died but turned out otherwise - followed the Care and Cleaning > Drainage Pump instructions in the user manual (basically killed the power, removed the yellow plug and stuck a finger in the hole to… Read more

turn the pump blade a couple of times). That got the dishwasher working again!

2 other gripes 1) one of the foldable tines is no longer held in place properly (corrosion on the ends of the foldable tine caused the metal inside to expand and popped the tine out of its holding bracket)

2) the door hinges is not stainless steel, and there appears to be slight metal corrosion on it (likely due to small amount of moisture escaping from the seal around that area). It’s not a train smash but could be improved.

Apart from above, the dishwasher works well, good layout inside and the XXL model has heaps of space.

So dissapointed with the product & service – We have had our Asko dishwasher for approx 2 years now. Very poor quality & workmanship. The plastic parts began breaking & falling off the machine within the first year. A service technician had to glue the soap dispenser back on within the first few months. The machine doesn't dry the dishes properly & if I don't rinse the dishes myself, it… Read more

doesn't wash properly either. Now our touch pad is failing us too. What is mostly dissapointing is that we were never offered an extended warranty by the retailer & according to them this is Asko's responsibility. Asko never offered this either so now we have to pay further to fix a poor product. Oh I so wish I stuck with Bosch for our new dishwasher. This would never had happened with them. But I was sold on the brand by the retailer. Seriously, don't get sucked in. Stay away from Asko. You will only be dissapointed.

Very Happy - reliable, quiet and does a great job – We bought this when we built a house and ever since we've been happily using. Never have any problems at all to date. Very quiet, does a great job. I found it easier to load the dishes, cups and everything compare with other brands. Show details

So shiny and clean inside even after almost 3 years use – I absolutely love this dishwasher even though at first I had my concerns it's well worth the money. It has a couple of floors. Since its touch screen to change the controls sometimes I cant get it to change to what I want or start straight away. Also the guys in the shop showed us you could fit 2 dinner plates side by side so the internal space… Read more

was bigger and better than the cheaper ones. Well it may be bigger but no you cant fit 2 dinner plates side by side but still fits enough in it for us.

Disappointment – I purchased this dishwasher July 2015 after reading the review on Choice. I liked the simplicity and the room to place items on top and bottom as well as having an additional cutlery tray on the top. For the first couple of years it performed okay.The dishwasher for about the last twelve months started to have problems with the electronics where… Read more

it was difficult to set wash, and finally just over 3 years being December 2018 there was a burning smell and the dishwasher ceased to go. With a burning smell and electronic panel not working properly it was decided to toss it out and buy a new dishwasher which after spending $2000.00 on this one was very disappointing. Following on from having a ASKO front end loader washing machine which also died after only three years I would no longer attempt my luck with ASKO.

Lots of space and glistening dishers – We had our last ASKO dishwasher for 12 years and were very happy. We just purchased this model and it is fantastic. I really like the cutlery draw, a real space saver leaving the bottom to hold all the plates. The top draw has lots of options to hold various size cups or glasses. The foldable tines on both levels are excellent and can be easily… Read more

adjusted to suit the needs of the load. The cutlery tray and upper basket can be adjusted to suit the size of our plates. The glasses come out sparkling, there is no residue or water marks. The electronic display indicates when rinse aid is required. It’s quiet and easy to use. The dishers come out dry. Very satisfied.

Dishwasher Asko – It cleans so well ! Dishes are sparkling, Only thing it too many arms and pieces inside that are flexible but collapse a lot . It’s was more costly but well worth it. A lot of space and cleans so many plates. The collapsing internal components are becoming a big problem though  Show details

So glad this was recommended – We had a super old ASKO previously which did the job adequately, but had my heart set on a Miele or Bosch to be truthful. But then I did some research. Turns out they are mostly not made in Germany or France anymore, and the quality has deteriorated. But that wasn't the deciding factor for us. We are a family with 3 kids so it gets a belting, and… Read more

this machine fits in SOOO much more than a Miele! I highly recommend taking in yur glassware and plates to see what fits. For us, I wanted to fit a double row of our cups on the top draw - which this one does! This means I don't have to do a daily wash, I can do it every 2-3 days sometimes... Its super quiet and eficient and dries really well..

Excellent Dishwasher – Just bought this for our new home. After having another brand of dishwasher for 13 years, our expectation was somewhat high. This unit so far has not disappointed us. It took a few washes to figure out the best wash option to use. The only thing about this unit was the need to use rinse aid, otherwise the items you wash will not dry. With our previous dishwasher, we never had to use rinse aid.  Show details

Asko Awesomeness! – Well we had never heard of Asko before and were fairly sceptical. Originally wanted a Bosch because we love our washing machine but the Asko was same price and looked a bit better. So we went with it, got it home and were'nt dissapointed! There's loads of room and it gives awesomely ridiculous clean, to the point where dishes come out looking new!… Read more

Its very quiet, can easily watch a movie in the same room with volume turned down as to not wake the kids and you just barely hear it swishing around in the background. Only real points where it makes noise is when it briefly releases water down the sink hole maybe 3-4 times within a normal cycle and beeps at the end. If your in the market and can afford it, do it. We couldn't be happier. Looks stylish too. Thanks Asko!

Great Dishwasher – Purchased this to replace an old low range Bosch dishwasher. Was looking to purchase another Bosch, however was drawn to the TurboDry function and the fact that this machine has internal LED lights (such a god send). The sleek stainless steel unit has concealed control panel making it a fit for all style kitchens. The controls are easy to use… Read more

and very logical. I also liked that this machine has a "time" program, allowing you to set the total length of time to program runs for.

The baskets are very flexible and spacious.

Overall, extremely happy with the purchase.

drying issues – It comes with a high price tag like all asko stuff. the big disappointment is that it does not dry good. its not what I was promised by the person who sold it to me. I called them for , they came chagend the drying setting to the longest . did not help. I need to keep the door open for at least half a day until all the stuff dries . would not buy again  Show details

Easy to use quite heps of space – Love the hidden controls and the small display on the door ,washes well and has good drying on the long dry setting, the racks and trays have lots of options, that is thinking out side of the box. The light inside makes cleaning and packing a breeze, the extra temperature setting is a good option. The water usage is much lower than my old LG. … Read more

The racks and trays feel more solid than other on the market and the door is also feels more ridged and solid.

Great Dishwasher – I love this dishwasher, it cleans really well. I replaced my old Bosch and it does a much better job. The cutlery rack at the top increases space and with a dedicated washing arm for the cutlery it also cleans it well. The bottom rack is large enough to fit large plates and pots and I am never disappointed with the results. I can fit quite tall… Read more

glasses in it too. It is not noisy and there are plenty of cycles to choose from.

I have had one problem with it about a week after it was first installed but Asko sent a technician out really quickly and fixed the problem and the machine has not missed a beat since then.

I definitely think it dries my dishes better than the Bosch did, everything but plastics come out dry.

Brilliant! – I don't know why there are so many bad reviews here - this dishwasher is excellent. We replaced an old Blanco washer with this, mainly going with Asko as it was the ONLY brand that would take our large dinner plates without having to lean them over, so much room! They are expensive but you get what pay for here, it is SO QUIET. The only sound… Read more

we hear from this is an occasional gurgle from the drain. The only items that don't come out dry are an occasional plastic ware. Would thoroughly recommend.

Worst Dishwasher Ever!!! – Purchased this dishwasher, installed it, it's beeped every night since the day I installed it, it drives me INSANE!!! I turn it off at the power point every night. Machine is EXTREMELY noisy so I can't run it at night. A normal wash takes 2.5 hours and a quick wash takes 2 hours, service guy told me it's faulty. He also told me the control panel… Read more

needs replacing, it's a brand new dishwasher! Everything comes out wet and plastics are dripping wet so everything needs to be hand dried! I spent $2k on this piece of crap! I run my own business and work 6 days a week, impossible for me take a whole day off to wait around for the service guy. Going to put the dishwasher in the council clean up! Don't waste your money on this piece of rubbish! I also purchased the condenser dryer, the front melted after 2 years, the rubber seal around the lint filter melts and stretches and every time you open the dryer door the lint filter falls out! The lint filter is a nightmare to clean! Dryer is also going in the council clean up! Will NEVER buy Asko appliances again!!!

Unreliable appliance – I have learnt two very important lessons from buying this product. 1. Don't buy it again. 2. Never ever listen to sales people. It will clean well for weeks and then all of a sudden for reasons that remain known only to itself it won't clean and you are back to hand washing till you can try to finger out what's wrong or take another day off to call the service people out.

Faulty - again – So we had an ASKO D5457 that had a faulty door...after many months of dealing with the ASKO service department we managed to get them to replace it with a D5646. Now guess what...this one is faulty: error code F10. Please people read this review and don not ever buy an ASKO. Faulty products (we're batting 2 for 2) and even worse service.

Not as good as I expected for the price – We have owned two Asko dishwashers in the past, so in our next home we decided to spend more and buy their top model. We have owned it for about two or three months and it was professionally installed. As with our other models, I usually just use normal wash, Finish tablets and load the same way, pretty much according to the manual. In other words… Read more

I am not doing anything differently but this machine's performance is different. I find a few tea cups might come out stained, glassware is occassionally mottled and even though we select long dry, every load is still cold and wet when I open the machine, even hours later dishes are wet. That means having to leave the door wide open for a couple of hours or getting the tea towel out. With my older Asko dishwashers crockery always came out clean, glassware was spotless and when the cycle was complete the load was warm and dry.

Maybe I need to do something differently, I am not sure. On the positive side, it is quiet, attractive, it has a light inside and the shelving holds many items including wine glasses. So overall it works ok and nothing has broken but I would not recommend this model to a friend.

Don't buy on star rating – I'm very happy with my dishwasher-1st time I've owned one. It stopped working after 5months, but service team quick and efficient at fixing the problem. He has taken the disk out of the asko which was the water saving device. Apparently it gets put in there to help the star rating but then stops working so instead of replacing it they remove… Read more

it. Costing me more in water now but I won't have that issue again. Hence don't buy your dishwasher on star ratings when like car companies- they cheat the system.

Huge capacity – This machine has the largest capacity that I have encountered and it is an excellent machine. I have previously had both Miele and ASKO XXL dishwashers but recently purchased the new ASKO D5646 XXL. It is similar to the earlier XXL model but the upper utensil tray is larger and accepts large serving spoons, knives and most cooking utensils. We… Read more ·  1

have some oversized dinner plates that were difficult to fit in the Miele yet they stand upright in this machine with room to spare. I have never had any problems with Asko appliances and highly recommend this dishwasher.

From bad to worse – If my dishwasher would WORK, and let ME select programs, I might be happy. Got dishwasher installed in October 2015 as a replacement for the original Asko "lemon" we had. Am starting to regret getting another Asko. The power & start/stop buttons don't work. The power button changes the program at whim when it decides to work. Very frustrating to… Read more

say the least. Hope I don't have to wait another 7 weeks to have this problem resolved. I am also starting to understand why Asko won't allow me to purchase an extended warranty on the new dishwasher too.
