Asko D3251FI 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

Pros: QUIET! Really cleans dishes , great capacity, knife rack; hidden electronic controls; on/off switch
Cons: After sale service

We purchased this dishwasher after some friends of ours had theirs for several years and loved it. The dishwasher is so quiet that at times i have to open the door to be sure that it is running! The dishes consistently come out sparkling clean and dry ...

Pros: Sleek design (no ugly controls), noise (extremely quiet)
Cons: After sales support.

This product looks awesome (and fits into smaller spaces - the reason we purchased it) - the problem lies in Asko's customer support. Akso outsources to a third party who in turn outsources to smaller/mom and pop providers. You can wait well over a week for service. There's no saying whether the person who shows up truly knows the model they're working on. Other suppliers now offer their design touches - Asko is really just a niche provider in the USA.

Pros: it was quiet
Cons:  dishes were not clean  food was left behind, it also had a bad smell.

Our asko dishwasher only lasted 3 years before needing a $400.00 repiar and the options for repair are limited, our area only has one asko certified repair company and they know they have you over a barrell so they charge double for "exotic" dishwasher diagnosis, I would never buy an asko dishwasher again.
