There’s no question stainless steel has dominated the kitchen appliance world over the past couple decades. The durable, silver metal offers a clean, crisp, classy, and modern appeal to any kitchen. While plenty of appliance companies offer some bold color choices for the daring homeowner, consumers overwhelmingly flock to the professional, modern look of stainless steel.
However, whether stainless steel is truly “stainless” is questionable. Smudges and fingerprints from everyday use and regular kitchen traffic easily leave stainless steel looking dingy and grimy. And thus begins the battle for shining stainless steel in which homeowners incessantly wipe down their appliances with special chemicals or try alternative approaches such as olive oil.
As an appliance made for convenience, the dishwasher should arguably be less of a hassle. Because one shouldn’t have to work so hard to clean the appliance that cleans one’s dishes, ASKO – the Swedish frontrunner in the high-end dishwasher market – created TouchProof stainless steel, which comes standard on all ASKO stainless steel dishwashers.
ASKO’s high-end stainless steel dishwashers feature a thin, protective coating on top of the stainless steel that causes the surface to resist smudges and scratches. The coating does not fade over time but instead keeps the stainless steel looking fresh, new, and shining.
While a few other manufacturers have produced smudge-proof products, ASKO’s TouchProof stainless steel stands apart. These other products generally consist of a stainless steel look-alike, while ASKO offers the real thing – a stainless steel that won’t smudge or stain.
A major benefit of ASKO’s TouchProof stainless steel is that it does not require special chemical cleaning agents. Chemical cleaners may even damage the coating, so it’s best to avoid them altogether. Instead, ASKO recommends simply wiping down the dishwasher exterior with a warm, damp, cotton cloth from time to time.
If ASKO’s trademarked TouchProof stainless steel wasn’t enticing enough, ASKO also offers some of the most cutting-edge dishwasher features on the market, packaged nicely in a smooth, modern exterior.
The understated design fits well in any modern kitchen, and a quick browse through a few ASKO dishwasher reviews reveals large capacities, flexible and height-adjustable racks that accommodate larger items, and several advanced technologies to make its dishwashers leak-proof and child-safe. Temperature settings, turbo-drying, and timed wash settings also make ASKO dishwashers some of the most convenient available.
Now through June 30th, 2014, Elite Appliance is offering free shipping on all ASKO dishwashers and laundry units. Learn more about this offer on our ASKO appliances page.
