Absolutely gorgeous, and the first new machines I've seen in a long, long time that I would actually call beautiful. They look simple, sleek and unfussy, and don't scream "PLASTIC!". And you've got to love the choice of optional accessories too, particularly the integrated ironing board. Can't wait to track down the user manuals for these to find out how the new control panels work.
Usually when a manufacturer introduces a new model series, I'm left wondering why they took a perfectly good looking machine, updated it and in doing so made it look downright ugly. So in that respect, these new Askos really do make a pleasant change.
Yeah, I'd take one if you twisted my arm

2000 rpm
So, 2000rpm spin speed is becoming the norm... Gorenje was first, and now Asko.
I wonder if manufacturers can increase their front loader speeds beyond 2000rpm?
3000rpm, anyone?

Don't know how valuable final spin speeds over about 1200 rpms really are. Aside from perhaps really thick and thirsty terry cloth towels, and maybe the odd down duvet, what is one going to spin that fast that won't suffer after awhile? Then again maybe these uber fast spin speeds are like everything else with laundry appliances these days; flash and galm with little substance. I mean if the machine only reaches uber speeds for the final 1 minute or so of the final spin.

Faster speeds...
...are ideal for spinning denims, jeans, linens, etc.
Faster end spins may also mean (but not guaranteed!) that intermediate spins are faster, thereby removing more soapy water before advancing to the next rinse.

Launderess - I use the 1600rpm spins quite frequently and with using them in 2 machines from different manufacturers over the past 3 years I have to say I haven't noticed any more necessary wear on clothing, and also that clothes are much dryer to the touch out of the washer after a 1600rpm spin compared to a 1200rpm spin. Drying time for items such as towels, jeans, and cotton clothing is also considerably reduced... so I would say the turbo spin speeds are worth it at least in a European frontloader and I'd never downgrade to a slower speed on a daily driver machine again. I would say it is actually pretty rare for laundry not to get a 1600rpm spin in our house.
Admittedly I use a slower speed (1100-1200rpm) if I'm line drying, as if spun too fast I find that the loss of the additional moisture means that clothes aren't as heavy on the line hence the creases don't fall out as easily - though often I forget to turn the spin speed down so just spin at 1600rpm anyway!

Swivel detergent dispenser too!
There's more and more things I'm liking about this Asko
Let's hope Maytag badges them up here...

My mother has a Bosch 1400rpm machine, which she always sets to 1200rpm. It has a tendency to vibrate quite a bit at 1200. Out of interest, I washed a load and spun it at 1400rpm: it went through 1200 with a bit of vibration, but became the most stable machine when spinning at full tilt.
I've noticed this before with other machines; at certain speeds, the machine and/or suspended 'wooden' floor, oscillate at a natural frequency - usually around the 900-1200rpm speeds. Faster spinners break this frequency. My Zanussi vibrates a bit at 900rpm (it has a staged spin profile), but becomes more stable at 1200, and rock solid at 1600rpm.
Faster speeds may wear out cheaply made drum bearings in a shorter time span.
