6kg Drum but it looks bigger than some 8kg models we have in.

Is it a 1200rpm machine? Also, what kind of price does this retail at?
Thanks

5 Year parts & labour guarantee, a really heavy & well built machine. Just a shame that it's spoilt by a flimsy plastic door lock, i just hope it lasts out for 5 years.

Dex,
The Hoover rating plate i was on about. I still can't believe that it's maximum load is only 1500 Watts.

Thanks! Would you reccomend it for repacing a Beko WM5001W? Used about 3 or 4 times a wekk.

Yes, its my mums friend and her fiance's.
Now they have a baby they are thinking of getting a newer, slightly bigger machine like the Gorenje but they don't want to spend a lot - thats why they chose the cheap-as-chips Beko.
Starting to fault slightly - the Cottons cycles are quite long - around 2 and a half hours, so the quickwash button on the Gorenje looks good.
With the Gorenje I expect the spin reduction button reduces it from 1200 - 600?

Seeing them tommorow - will tell them then!
Also, this machine is 6kg and theirs is only 5kg - so more will fit in.
My only worry is where it is made. Looks a bit like cheaper machines such as Haier - so as the Beko is made in the P.R.C, I was hoping this would be made somewhere else. Germany or Italy come to mind.

Actually, Gorenje is made in Slovenia...
I have a Gorenje, but a totally different model, with "older" styling - Gorenje WA63121.
The quick wash button really shortens the cycle
For example, if you select Cottons 40 the default time is 2:04hrs. If you select Quick wash, it goes down to about 1 hour

Another nice feature is that the 17 Minute quick wash programme ends with a very nice 1000rpm final spin.

very nice machine
I'm surprised John Lewis doesn't sell Gorenje washing machines if they are a reputable reliable brand
I think if the machine is simple and basic then it cant go wrong, why do people need loads of settings on a machine if you only use 3 programmes?
I would go with the model with the time remaining display for a bit more
and also I wonder if the machine adjusts the time to the size of the load, and shortens it accordingly? I find that its a pain in the backside waiting for a washing machine that takes 2 hours to wash clothes, would be nice if gorenje machines can regulate the time and shave off some time to a something reasonable by scanning the wash water to see how dirty it is.
I would always buy personally a 1200rpm spin model of machine unless its Miele/ISE then faster spin machines are better as they are built for 20 years of use and withstand high spin speeds, I've always thought if you bought a 1600rpm model of a cheap/midrange brand then it would wear out quicker than a 1200rpm model.
My old Zanussi XC was 1200rpm and it lasted for 9 years before the PCB went. which is pretty good.

Hi optima, I'm glad to see this machine here on the forum
I had a gorenje WS 43122 (bought in 2005) I gave it to my mother because her old washer broke down.
It never had a failure. It works perfectly after 7 years.
The only thing that is sometimes annoying is that it's a bit slow in distributing the load before the spin cycle.
I always used the "water plus" option because I like a higher water level
The plastic door lock in these models are indeed flimsy.
Those ones of more expensive models are better. The whole door is different in those models.

Washers with time to end displays
That's why i hate machines with a time remaining lcd display because 9 times out of 10 the display will increase & never ever shorten the time given on the display ie winter cold fill or the classic spin re-balancing & Indesit company are the best example of this, which can make the customer think that their machine is faulty that's why i'm all for a machine with a simple neon display wash, rinse, final spin & end. simple but less hassle.

Ingemar,
A truly well built machine, but i still can't get my head around why Gorenje can manufacture such a good machine & end up putting a plastic door lock on it. Even most of the cheapest machines on sale have a metal door lock.

Well, the Gorenje is in those 1 out of 10...
As I mentioned, I have WA63121 with the green LCD display.
It never lengthens the time...
The 'Quick wash' option on Gorenjes is very good!
Only things that can make the cycle longer are extra rinses, sensor rinse, prewash, soak and easy iron (that adds about 2 minutes).

Most use Plastic tubs, but even in the USA, you will find nearly all use plastic tubs too-especially LG, Samsung.
Here we have Miele & Maytag(ASKO) which use Metal (Cast iron), plus the higher Gorenje models use a stainless steel outer tub and inner drums (the cheaper ones are plastic as in the photo).
Siemens machines have a different kind of plastic, that is used in building aircraft - so its much stronger (I presume Bosch Logixx also use this one, being as if all Siemens are 8KG here and all have the same drum & tub)
Hotpoint Aqualtis use a different kind of plastic too, which is able to insulate heat inside better than other plastic tubs, meaning less energy waste.
All other machines use the standard plastic tubs.

plastic or metal outer tubs
This days more and more models of different manufacturers has plastic material outer tubs.
Some manufacturers offers on higher models a metal tub.
The Gorenje WS 43122 I had is a slim model, but it has a metal outer tub.
@ optima - yes it really is a shame to save on such litle details that can cause big annoyance for consumers.

Tub material
Nice Gorenje there... I really like those curved lines on either side of the porthole... they make it look kind of... curvy
Glenfieldmathk1... about the tub material, I'm sure no manufacturer uses standard plastic to build their tubs, it would always be a special blend with minimum essential attributes related to heat retention and insulation in general. Some tub construction might be more expensive than steel and certainly have more important properties. There's an article around here about the tub construction in the sophisticated V-Zug machines.
Most Candy and Hoover's tubs (if not all) are made of 'Silitech', which as well as the features mentioned above has sound absorbing properties. Maybe this is the same material that the Aqualtis have as you stated above.

I have had a Gorenje WA72145BK washing machine and D72325BK tumble dryer for about a year now and the only fault i have is it is a bit noisy on spin, otherwise i cant fault either the washer or the dryer. It has a 17min cycle that is actually 17mins
Water levels are good and to add to that it has a recirculation pump so it really does get things clean. Pretty cheap as well considering what you get for the cash. Bought them from thewashingmachineplace.co.uk but the site does not seem to be up anymore

Gorenje
I really love my Gorenje WA63170. It does have the very fast spin speed with 1700rpm. And with the induction motor it is so silent at wash and spin. And it have thstainless steel tub and drum, so it is very heavy too. But the drum looks way bigger than my last 8kg washer, the Bosch Loggix 8 (it was terrible)
Gorenje build very good washers.
