ASKO
In 1950, an enterprising young Swedish farmer named Karl-Erik Andersson set out to build his mother a different kind of washer. A unique, energy- and water-efficient machine that would reflect a farmer's love and respect for nature. One with superior cleaning power and reliability that could heat water, spin, and even boast durable, state-of-the-art, stainless steel drums. A washing machine like no other. So the young farmer built his amazing washer, surpassing even his meticulous mother's high standards. Indeed, the results were so extraordinary, he was convinced to share his creation with others. So he built a world-class engineering and manufacturing facility right on the family farm - where it stands to this day - and a new company was born. The company we now call ASKO.
Today, ASKO is an international corporation with a full line of high-performance washers, dryers and dishwashers. ASKO appliances still do a better job of cleaning with a fraction of the water, electricity and detergent of ordinary machines. Every component is constructed of steel rather than plastic wherever possible. And every ASKO product is still built with Scandinavian quality and environmental sensitivity - just as Karl-Erik Andersson intended. In short, ASKO appliances are some of the best-performing, most ecology-friendly, and longest lasting on earth. Made especially for those - like a certain Swedish mother - who appreciate the difference.
No matter what life throws at you, ASKO has the perfect UltraCare system to make short work of your laundry. From the high-efficiency, high-performance UltraCare Family size to the supersized UltraCare XXL workhorse, ASKO has the right sized laundry system for any family, large or small.
This washer uses 140 kWh/yr and has an estimated yearly operating cost of $15.53.
The estimated yearly operating cost is based on doing 8 laundry loads a week and the 2011 national average electricity cost of $.1109 per kWh. Your operating cost will depend on your utility rates and usage.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy ASKO Customer Worst Washing Machine
I purchased the 24" UltraCare ASKO washing machine just over a year ago, and it stopped working two months ago. ASKO states they have a 3 year warranty, but no one in the San Francisco Bay Area knows how to fix it. Two months later and three appliance repair companies later, and I still have a broken washing machine. Unfortunately, ASKO's warranty department is not helping me resolve this issue because they won't give me a new washing machine and only want me to continue to work with appliance repair companies that can't fix it. Afer only using this machine for one year and having it be the most expensive washing machine on the market, I'm shocked and disappointed by this level of customer service and ASKO's less than stellar product.
