After years of promoting the ASKO brand as a high quality product in the USA, Asko US and the unsuspecting American households are now having this thrust upon them…….looks familiar?

Let’s see if the Yanks are as tolerant of these as the UK public are. Somehow I doubt it.

These are being sold over there for around £650. OK it does mention 4 shock suspension so it may not be a direct Servis re badge but I am sure it aint been anywhere near Sweden.

hi,
This US version is a merloni/servis 7 kg appliance , some might have seen it under the Servis name Grande or XL6. Asko Sweden has never produced a washer drier. Its a shame that the markerting brains of Merloni only see Asko as a way of breaking into the US, I will try not go on. One of the main reasons for Merloni buying Asko was that Asko had the contacts and experiance for passing the US approvels (UL).
Lets see what shape Asko will be in in the Us next year with this machine!

Oh and here was I thinking they’d bought Asko in an attempt to learn just how appliances were supposed to be built. 😉 😆 😈
