ASKO cares for your favourite things

ASKO’s ActiveDrum™ washing machine range features an innovative drum design that gives a cleaner, more gentle wash. To celebrate the launch of the ActiveDrum™ washing machines in the Australian market, ASKO has launched its Cares Campaign, a national campaign supporting sick children across the country. ASKO will make hospital easier to bear by donating 3000 ÖSKA bears to children’s hospitals. Five leading children’s hospitals will also share $50,000 cash. Just one way to show that ASKO truly does care.

ASKO ActiveDrum™ Washing Machines

Our new ActiveDrum™, with caring lifters, has an optimal design for the best possible laundry care. The drum design in combination with the hourglass shaped lifters, allows your laundry to move to the centre. This along with smaller cylinder holes in the middle gives less wear on delicate items and better balance in the drum. The larger drum also allows you to wash larger loads than ever before - 7 kg!

1. Clothing stays in the centre
of the drum

The angle of the drum, combined with unique hourglass-shaped lifting paddles, positions clothing in the centre of the drum
during washing.

2. Smaller holes in the centre
of the drum

The most gentle wash possible is facilitated by smaller holes positioned close
to the clothing.

3. Larger holes at the edges
of the drum

Larger holes positioned away from the clothing remove dirt and debris and allow effective draining.

4. Unique lifting paddles

Large pieces of debris are guided to large evacuation holes and removed throughout
the cycle.

5. Debris is removed to the drain

No need to remove debris collected by the paddles – it is simply led out
through the drain.
