World of Washers

The most common complaint I hear about frontload washers is the fact that reversible doors are not common. Sure, most European washers offer the ability to hinge the door in the opposite direction. And the door of the original Maytag Neptune could also be reversed. But there has been a definite lack in the big, American-style frontload washers (that were not prone to massive infestations of mold, a la the Neptune).

Asko, the Sweden-based company with a long history of producing top-notch dishwashers and laundry appliances, has created a frontload washer that offers all the features American consumers are looking for with the ability to reverse the door.

This is not insignificant, and I suspect Asko will sell a fair amount of washers as a result of that one feature.

Not much information is available about this washer, so I have sent Asko an email and will follow-up once I get a response.

In the meantime, you can check out the Asko WL6511 on their website.
