Asko refrigerators are worthy competitors of eminent brands Bosch, Siemens or Samsung. The company "Asko" produces equipment of the "Premium" class, using durable and high-quality materials. If you decide to invest in the purchase of such a refrigerator, our review will be useful to you: we will consider the advantages and characteristics of popular models, prices and user opinions.
Advantages of Asko Refrigerators
Asko offers the buyer not only ordinary, but also combined refrigerators, you can find exquisite wine cabinets. The main color schemes are traditional - white and steel. An economical and bright LED backlight is provided inside.
In combined models, in addition to the usual compartments - refrigeration and freezer - a sliding type compartment is provided. It significantly expands the volume of the cabinet and increases the capabilities of the user.
In the wine fridge, the facade is complemented by a solid glass insert. This makes the cupboard not only attractive, but also allows you to choose a drink without opening the door again.
Removable partitions in containers and shelves with the ability to adjust make using the equipment simple and enjoyable. Transparent glass shelves enhance visibility inside compartments. Doors, as befits, are equipped with additional "pockets" and compartments.
Defrosting
Asko refrigerators received the No Frost system, which made it possible to automatically defrost both chambers. Cold air, circulating through the compartments with the help of a fan, prevents the appearance of frost on the walls.
Control
Electronic control is provided in all the latest models of technology. There are temperature regulators in each compartment - refrigeration and freezer. This makes it possible to fine-tune the various cooling and freezing zones for each individual compartment. The display serves to control temperatures and modes; in case of malfunctions, error codes are displayed on it.
Safety
Engineers paid much attention to the safety system of equipment. It includes:
- Door open indicator. Forgot to close the door? After 2 minutes, the technique itself will remind you of this by submitting two types of signal: sound and flashing indicator.
- Child lock (protection against accidental pressing). This option does not allow changing the equipment settings.
- Freon of the R600a brand. Isobutane is natural gas, and this is its main advantage. It does not destroy the ozone layer of the planet and is not the cause of the greenhouse effect. In addition, if you need to refuel, any master will have such a brand of freon.
Functional
Asko's combination technology is additionally equipped with a number of useful options and functions. Among them:
- Extra fridge. You didn’t think so, that's right. Asko is the only company in the world that produces freezers that can be transformed into refrigerators. Reconfiguration will take up to 2 hours. But this will make it possible to cool a large batch of products.
- Ice machine. This device is located at the top of the freezer and with each cycle creates 7 ice cubes. The number of cycles corresponds to the volume of a special capacity for ice.
- Drawer with adjustable drawer type. This compartment can be transformed depending on the wishes of the user: it can be cooled, frozen or stored wine.
- Multi flow The system provides air to each shelf for uniform cooling of all products. Retain the benefits, appearance and palatability of food.
- Freshbox - the so-called "zone of freshness" for the storage of delicate and demanding products. In these boxes, a special temperature is maintained at which it is possible to preserve all the vitamins in vegetables and fruits. And in the Coldbox zone it is worth storing fish and meat, as these “tender” products do not tolerate freezing.
Important! Read more about fresh boxes in the review “What is the freshness zone in the refrigerator”.
- Super cool - as manufacturers have called the super-freeze function. If you have not come across this option, we remind you that with its help you can qualitatively freeze foods while maintaining their benefits and attractive appearance. The time spent on such freezing is minimal. Product weight remains unchanged.
Also, in all new Asko devices, an improved thermal insulation system has been introduced, the door has been tightened, and variable speed compressor motors have been installed. All of the above had a beneficial effect on the energy efficiency of electrical appliances.

Karina, Moscow
Phenomenal quality. It copes with all functions perfectly: the products are stored for a very long time, even greens do not deteriorate. It is not necessary to defrost! I did not find a single flaw. Capacity is what you need. The main plus - it is built-in, it is very profitable to hide in the kitchen. The freezer freezes at 100. I actively use the area for fruits and vegetables. Completely happy with the purchase, it is worth the money.
Margarita, Oryol
Inside, everything is finished with very high-quality plastic - you can immediately see that it is not China. It works quietly, contains a lot of products. We’ve been using it for a month, probably, therefore there were no errors or breakdowns. I got up in the kitchen perfectly. All shelves are comfortable, as they did for me. Freezing is excellent - already for the winter the berries froze a whole shelf, so they did not even cover with hoarfrost, like from a bush!

Love, Nadym
I put a solid five. At a reasonable price, they got good functionality. This model was waiting for the order, and did not regret it with her husband. It pleases a large volume with small dimensions. No cons found. The freshness zone also pleased, as well as low energy consumption. I advise.
Olga, St. Petersburg
There are enough shelves, everything fits in the freezer. It works like a watch. Maybe I find fault, but the main minus is that this model comes only in the white color of the case. Noisy as for me. For a long time I could not get used to the bottom freezer. I advise you to be careful with the paint - it is easily damaged (accidentally hit the door with a knife). In general, a good technique from a reliable brand.

Vadim, Tver
It makes a lot of noise. Condensation constantly freezes from the back wall near the fan. Nothing special. I took for a summer residence, therefore I’m not very upset. The fan starts every time you open, close the door, and it works for a long time and loudly. He trusted reviews at one time, although he looked at Bosch.
Denis, Simferopol
Spacious and compact - just for a small kitchen. Only one minus is the cost. It works quietly, I did not notice noise behind it (I installed it myself, according to the level). It’s better that I don’t meet a model so that there is no freezer.

Alice, Teberda
The freezer is very roomy, albeit small. Very easily got up under the countertop. It is embarrassing to defrost manually, with such technical progress ... Noisy, but not very much.
Galina, Cheboksary
The quality is excellent, and the price paid off completely. The work is quiet, the door can be re-hung. I love to freeze everything that grows in the country, so the regular freezer in the refrigerator was naturally not enough. We chose a small built-in wardrobe and found this miracle. For a small kitchen - a godsend. Freezes quickly, can be adjusted.
To summarize. Asko refrigerators are premium-class appliances for wealthy users who are demanding of both the appearance and functionality of the appliances and the reputation of the company. The selection of Asko products in Russia is small, but among the built-in models of refrigerators and freezers there is something to choose for a room of any size.
