The "laundry-woe" elixir

If you've already read-up on the WL6511's matching dryer — the TL751 — then you already know about the condition known simply as CDLD, or Chronically Delayed Laundry Doing. Just like the TL751, Asko's WL6511 provides the same cure for this annoying, olfactory-offending ailment — sheer washing volume. The WL6511 delivers a 3.8 cu. ft. washing capacity, so large that even if laundry day was four undergarments ago, you still won't be spending your Saturday engaged solely in muscling through the hamper. By letting you do fewer loads of laundry, an extra-large wash capacity saves you both time and money in energy costs.

So many choices!

If only there were a way to get your clothes their cleanest, avoid wash-related wear-and-tear, and save time and money. Oh, yeah . . . there is. By washing your clothes in a washer featuring a wide range of wash and rinse-cycle options, you can better customize each load to the exact needs of your clothes. Asko has designed your new WL6511 with just such a gamut of wash-cycle choices. Five Temperature settings (ranging from extra-hot to extra-cold) and five Soil Level settings give you the ability to match both water temperature and washing action to the characteristics of each load, resulting in maximum washing effectiveness and minimum wear-and-tear. Cycle options such as Delay Start, Prewash, Extend Wash, Extra Rinse, and Rinse + Spin further expand your load-customizing options. Oh, and one more thing — "showering paddles" within the drum serve as filters that trap hair, dust, and dirt resulting in less lint in the dryer.

In a hurry? . . . to save money, that is?

If ever a washer cycle needed a theme song, it would be the WL6511's QuickWash™ cycle. By implementing special wash settings, QuickWash facilitates a faster wash cycle that both uses less water and energy (saving you money) and saves you time. Feel free to do the Happy Dance.

Rediscover your "inside voice"

You've been a little hoarse for the past 1,743 days. That long?! Yes, precisely as long as you've been putting up with and trying to hold a civilized after-dinner conversation over the insufferable din that your old washer made. Designed with a quiet DirectDrive motor and QuatrtoPlus™ suspension system featuring a 4-shock suspension, 2 springs and automatic load balancing, your new WL6511 washer runs with a remarkably quiet, virtually vibration-free spin. YOU CAN FINALLY STOP TALKING LIKE THIS!!!

Ahh, efficiency . . .

Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Asko has made sure that the WL6511 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR&#re; qualification.

For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment.
