Third-party reviews

What we like about Asko W2096P.W Classic

  • At 1600 RPM the spin leaves clothes drier, so the dryer has less to do.
  • 19 washing programs cover most household needs.
  • Anti-vibration design limits shaking during the fast spin.
  • The 9 kg capacity takes a big weekly load.
  • It rates A for energy use and for spin drying.
  • Five spin speeds give you more control over the spin.

What we don't like about Asko W2096P.W Classic

  • At 77.5 kg it is very hard to move.
  • The spin is 76 dB, which is loud enough to hear through a wall.
  • The door opens only to 110 degrees, so loading takes care.
  • The lowest spin is 800 RPM, so you cannot choose a very gentle spin.
  • There is no outdoor or sport cycle, so muddy kit needs a normal wash.

Verdict

The Asko W2096P.W Classic is a 9 kg A-class washing machine that excels in advanced performance. It offers a powerful spin speed of up to 1600 rpm and energy consumption of 49 kWh per 100 cycles. The machine comes with 19 wash programs and the Dose Assist system for automatic detergent dosing. Safety is assured with the Aqua Safe system for water leak prevention. Customisation is possible through the storage of 4 favourite programs and Green Mode for energy savings. Drawbacks include its heavy weight of 77.5 kg, lack of steam technology, and absence of a load balancing system. The door opening angle is restricted to 110 degrees, and the machine does not feature self-diagnostics or an Outdoor/Sport cycle. The high price may also deter some buyers.
