Best Smart Innovation – Major Domestic Appliances
Company: ASKO
Product Name: ASKO Style Washing Machine (W5096RG.UK)
Entry Statement:
ASKO’s Style Washing Machine exemplifies the brand’s commitment to performance-led engineering wrapped in refined Scandinavian design. Available in refined graphite or classic white, the product balances minimalist aesthetics with advanced technical innovation, delivering a solution designed for longevity, hygiene and everyday usability.
At the core of its innovation is ASKO’s Steel Seal™, a hygienic, rubber-free door system that replaces traditional bellows. Constructed entirely from steel, the system is up to 95% more effective at removing bacteria and allergens compared to conventional rubber seals, significantly improving hygiene and making the appliance particularly well suited to allergy sufferers. This innovation has led to the appliance receiving a Sensitive Choice accreditation, reinforcing its commitment to health, wellbeing, and superior wash hygiene.
Steel Seal™ is complemented by Quattro Construction™ 2.0, an enhanced suspension system that anchors the drum to four steel shock absorbers mounted on a rigid base. This robust construction enables exceptional stability, allowing for high spin speeds with significantly reduced vibrations and noise even under full loads – delivering professional-grade washing performance in a domestic environment.
Operational excellence is further enhanced through a suite of intelligent wash technologies. Pro Wash, Super Rinse, and Sensi Save™ optimise water and energy usage without compromising cleaning quality, while the integrated Auto Dose system precisely calculates detergent requirements based on load size, soil level, water hardness, programme type, and temperature. By eliminating overdosing, Auto Dose simplifies use for consumers, reduces detergent waste, and lowers ongoing household costs.
Designed for modern living, the ASKO Style Washing Machine offers a generous 9kg capacity, an intuitive high-definition touchscreen display, and 23 specialist wash programmes tailored to protect a wide range of fabrics. This interface provides a clear, comprehensive overview of functions and modes, ensuring precise control while remaining effortless to use.
Material quality and craftsmanship are integral to the product’s identity. The appliance features a full-size front made from a single piece of solid stainless steel, framing a refined horizontal brushed metal panel. All visible components, including dials and buttons, are manufactured from carefully polished metal to deliver superior tactile response and long-term durability. With no visible white plastic, the design makes a bold visual statement while signalling its uncompromising quality. Engineered and tested to deliver up to 20 years of reliable service, this appliance is built to endure.
Sustainability is embedded at every stage of development and manufacture. ASKO’s factories have been certified to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System since 1999, ensuring environmentally responsible processes across production. Each Style Washing Machine undergoes rigorous testing for 10,000-12,5000 hours, equivalent to 20 years of domestic use, significantly reducing the need for replacement and associated waste. The extensive use of stainless-steel components and reduced reliance on plastic further enhances durability, recyclability and environmental performance.
For consumers, the benefits of this washing machine are immediate and lasting – quieter operation, superior hygiene, lower running costs, reduced environmental impact, and confidence in a product designed to last. ASKO’s commitment to sustainability does not detract from performance, but strengthens it, reflecting Scandinavian values where respect for natura, quality and longevity are inseparable.
The strong market reception of the ASKO Style Washing Machine reflects increasing demand for premium appliances that deliver genuine innovation, health-focused performance, and enduring value. By combining advanced wash technology, exceptional build quality, and verified longevity, the ASKO Style Washing Machine sets a benchmark within the laundry category and makes it a standout contender in technical and design excellence.
