A New Niche Asko Washing Machine
The W6888 Asko Washing Machine has improved spin structures and higher rinsing levels to remove more detergents after the wash cycle. The new Asko washing machine targets skin allergy and asthma sufferers.
Mr James Vogdanos, national product manager at Asko Australia, said the W6888 meets the criteria stipulated by the Swedish Allergy & Asthma Foundation and that the Australian Asko Head Office has partnered with the National Asthma Council of Australia.
“The use of hygienic materials like twin stainless steel drums with Smartseal means we have improved our hygience through the removal of areas and materials that could habour bacteria,” Mr Vogdanos said. “The main area of improvement is the level of rinsing combined with materials that cannot harbour either bacteria or detergent build up.”
A washing machine specifically for allergy and asthma sufferers is the latest niche appliance release from ASKO, which last year unveiled the Alfresco Dishwasher. Mr Vogdanos said it was imperative to tailor appliances to different users.
“We will continue to launch products that cater to niche groups. The outdoor segment, for example, could see a refrigerator or a rangehood introduced. An outdoor kitchen, apart from the barbecue, should replicate what you have indoors.”
This information was taken from an article written by Patrick Avenell of the Current.com.au newsletter. The concept here sounds good by using extra water in the rinse cycle will help to remove more detergents from the clothing. I am not sure how longer spin cycles will help because the current models already remove most of the moisture out of clothing. Eliminating positions where mould or bacteria could hide is another good initiative.
I can not help you with anymore information about these machines, best bet is to consult your local stockists. For advise and repairs to your out of warranty Asko washing machines in the Mackay area you can call me on 0408776405
