Increase your property's market value

In-unit laundry is the most demanded feature in apartments and condominiums today!  If you still have central laundry rooms then you have a marketing problem. 

Apartments and condominiums with in-unit laundry command a much higher rent premium than similar units using central laundry rooms.  The combination of higher rental revenues, lower turnover rates and low installation costs can pay for the machine in less than two years! 

Average resale values of individual condominiums are raised $3,000 to $7,000 with the addition of in-unit laundry.  Cap rates on rental units are similar. That's quite a return on the initial investment!

Better cleaning and drying while saving you energy….

The ASKO Professional series washers and dryers are as easy to operate as pushing a button.  Eight pre-set programs cover any laundry care need you or your residents will ever have.  The smart push button controls also make use especially easy for older residents or people with disabilities.  An easy to read digital display tells the user exactly which program the machine is in, the temperature, and time of the program. 

The ASKO Professional series washer starts with a cold water pre-wash that removes stains conventional washer hot water pre-washes set.  Then, unlike top loaders that attempt to clean by rubbing fabrics against an agitator, The ASKO Professional series washer gently lifts and drops laundry hundreds of times in and out of clean, hot water to remove more soil while maintaining your fabrics. 

And here’s another miracle of technology:  while ordinary washers get their water from your hot water heater or boiler (usually set at around 120° F), the ASKO Professional washer uses an internal heater that can heat water to a constant 140° F (depending on program chosen).  This hotter water actually helps to activate the enzymes in detergents getting your clothes cleaner and eliminating the need for bleach!  With the ASKO, your residents get cleaner clothes with just a fraction of the water and energy normal top loaders use.  The 140° F is also the minimum needed to kill dust mites, bacteria, and viruses. 

The ASKO Professional series washers also spin the water out of clothes as high as 1200 RPM – twice as fast as most domestic top-loaders.  This means ASKO washers can extract at least 40% more water than conventional front-loaders do.  This means a much quicker dry with less energy waste. 

The ASKO Professional dryers are just as unique and advanced.  They use a microprocessor controlled heat and humidity sensors to prevent over drying and reduce wrinkling.  The exclusive Butterfly Drying™ System tumbles clothes in a nonstop figure eight to ensure even temperature distribution with less strain on the motor and less wrinkling of delicate fabrics.  This cuts ironing time dramatically which always leads to happier residents! 

The ASKO Professional dryer breaks technological barriers by allowing vent free drying!  This ability saves tremendous amounts of energy, greatly reduces make-up air problems in older buildings, and allows installation almost anywhere.  This incredible technology is also UL approved and complies with all BOCA code requirements.  The days of illegally venting conventional dryers into buckets or attics are gone.  Now you can safely add in-unit laundry almost anywhere. 
 
This unique drying process is possible because of a unique air to air internal moisture condenser, which eliminates the need for all outside venting.  With this system room air is drawn one way through the heat exchanger/condensing chamber while the hot moist air inside the dryer drum is circulated the other way.  Because the room air is cooler than the dryer air a condensing action occurs.  The moisture is then collected and pumped down the same drain as the washer.

Simple, Low Cost Installation
The ASKO dryer's condenser drying system means that no outside venting is required.  There is no discharge of heat, lint, or moisture into the apartment or condominium.  Even more importantly, the washer's water discharge rate is incredibly low.  The rate is the same as an average dishwasher, which means that installation is possible even in older buildings with limited plumbing capacity.  The compact size also makes it possible to install anywhere there is access to plumbing.

The ASKO quality name, large capacity, sanitizing hot wash, ease of operation, and installation flexibility make the ASKO Professional series a perfect fit for multi-family housing.
