It all starts with a grill – that powerful stainless steel structure that allows you to cook meat and fresh vegetables over a flame outdoors in the open air. The food is delicious, and it’s a great way to enjoy time outdoors after spending the majority of the week cooped up in an office.
Then you opt for a few accessories to make your outdoor grilling experience even better. You add a couple side burners and a warming drawer, so you can prepare entire meals outdoors without running back and forth from indoor kitchen to outdoor kitchen.
However, as you build up your outdoor kitchen with the top-rated grill and the accompanying accessories and appliances, you will find one practical appliance you’ve come to rely on daily indoors is just as essential in your outdoor kitchen: the dishwasher.
When purchasing an outdoor dishwasher, durability is of utmost importance. Make sure to look for an outdoor rated dishwasher that was built to withstand the elements – summer heat, winter freezes and rain.
The ASKO D5954 dishwasher is an ideal model of both durability against the elements and endurance for years to come. The wiring in this ASKO dishwasher is designed to tolerate the extremes of summer and winter in any region, and both the interior and exterior are composed of stainless steel for low-maintenance and resilience.
A UV protective cover shields the control panel, so sunny days will not diminish its functioning or leave you squinting and guessing at which wash cycle you’re choosing.
The ASKO outdoor dishwasher is also designed with leak protection. In fact, the dishwasher has 16 elements built specifically to prevent leaks throughout the wash cycle.
While ASKO has focused intensely on making its outdoor dishwashers durable, ASKO has not neglected convenience and functionality. The ASKO D5954 can hold up to 12 place settings and has adjustable racks. The upper rack can have either 7.5” or 9” height clearance, and it features fold-down supports to hold stemware safely in place throughout the wash cycle.
The lower rack has wide tines to hold large or heavy dishes, and an extra side spray on the left helps ensure large platters and serving bowls get the thorough washing they need.
You may choose from six wash cycles and six temperature settings depending on the fragility of your dishes and the messiness of the meal. The dishwasher can heat water up to 160° F.
Lastly, the ASKO D5954 performs its task so quietly you’ll hardly notice it and with such little water, your water meter won’t notice either. The ASKO D5954 washes a full load of dishes with less than 4 gallons of water.
As you plan your outdoor kitchen or build it up piece by piece, don’t forget the essential appliance that keeps you from dreading the clean-up at the end of your grilling session.
