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.
