How we compare
Specifications are from the Australian Government's energy-rating database; prices are from the retailers shown, on the dates shown. Running costs apply 32¢/kWh to the government's labelled annual energy figure. The energy figure assumes one wash a day on the labelled program; the water figure is for one labelled wash. The labelled program is the machine's eco program, usually its longest cycle. Everyday programs run shorter. Full pages: Asko DW40 · Smeg DWAU6D15XT3 · or every current model.
