Product review (2 stars): Expensive dishwasher, design flaws, doesn't clean
I spent top dollar for a crappy appliance with equivalent service.

I bought an Asko D5893 dishwasher, their top of the line, for over $2000 in October of 2009, and had it professionally installed.  We started having issues with it immediately in that the controls were unresponsive when you wanted to turn it on, and would go off on their own, starting the dishwasher or changing settings.  This was intermittent at first but became more frequent after a few months.  I finally called Asko to arrange service.  I found out that this was an installation problem, that a part to manage light to the controls and make them work properly had not been installed.  I found the part with my owner's manual, and installed it myself.

Fast forward a year.  The controls have been operating properly since, though the design isn't great and it's still sometimes difficult to turn it on or off when you want to.  But the dishwasher no longer cleans dishes.  This is a machine that touts you can don't even need to rinse, yet I'm routinely having to hand wash dishes when they come out to remove food.

I sent an email to Asko about this problem.  Asko left me a message and when I called back told me all they could do was suggest the same fixes as the manual does, cleaning the filters and making sure the jets work.  Even though the device is still under warranty.

Don't spend this kind of money on a dishwasher that's poorly designed and doesn't do it's job.
