Asko D3531XLHDSS Dishwasher Reviews

I thought splurging "big time" on a top of the line dishwasher was money well invested. WRONG!

This dishwasher, the ASKO 3531, cleans great. Superbly! I'll give it that.

HOWEVER:

The inside set-up, for all of its fancy up and down dish-holders (and some of them flip down all the time at inopportune moments!), does not allow for nearly as many dishes being put in as the KtichenAid it was replacing. We estimate that it holds just over a half of the amount of dirty dishes! It looks great inside in the store, but at home and loading the dishwasher, it is a completely different story! This...

Our Asko dishwasher D3531 had a 3 year warranty that ran out on 12/19/08 and the dishwasher started to leak on 12/25/08. We called Asko and they told us it was out of warranty- sorry.  It was 6 day past but when we asked to talk to the manager we were told they would get back to us in 3-5 business days and couldn't give us the name of the manager.  We would rather throw it away then give them anymore business.  The dishwasher itself is very small and the dishes have to be rinsed before running it. The wash cylces are very long- up to 3 hours. But the only good thing about it is how quiet it...
