I've had the Asko for years and it does take a unusually long time to dry.That time of 300 minutes is long, but it depends on the amount of clothes and type of fabric.Don't mix your heavy and light laundry together and ensure that your clothes have spun as dry as possible before putting them in. I sometimes put my clothes through an extra spin before taking them out of the washer. My family complains about the time factor.
