New Gen - By Gorenje...

[matchboxpaul]

With these Gorenje's and the new style Electrolux's I wonder if we are entering a new classic and retro design ethos and a move away from white plastic?

Speaking for myself - here is hoping
Perhaps someone should tell Hotpoint about Amethyst door bowls!

"Ultra White" program

@ glenfieldmathk1

The Ultra White program is designed for washing white lingerie and delicate whites.
It has nothing to do with the standard program for whites that are stained or with ground in dirt.

I kind of gathered that Gorenje, but think it should be labelled Lingerie or delicates, not Ultra Whites. Ultra White is misleading, as most people will put in their whites, and expect them to come out white, when actually probably wont and stains would remain. Thats my Only criticism, I do like the design.

@matchboxpaul Hotpoint have already started to reintroduce Chrome doors to some machines here in the UK (Look for the 8KG, 10KG Ultima machines, and also a 9KG Ultima with 1400rpm). They call it stainless steel as opposed to Chrome, but its the same colour. They also introduced Anthracite door colour to some limited edition models. I feel the Future of Hotpoint will see the Chrome doors introduced to dryers too, now that the brand is simply being referred to as Hotpoint, and not Hotpoint-Ariston. After all the latest range build quality is exceptional.
Try other machines, Siemens have had Chrome door's for a long time time.

@chestermikeuk Lets not forget though: Classic - Simplicity - Exclusive - Premium lines are being withdrawn to make way for the new models. So they wont be selling all 8 ranges at the same time!

Hi Mat.
For me and it is purely my own taste, but I do feel there can be too much 'bling' on a machine. Have always felt that the likes of LG and Samsung are thus afflicted, with their BIG and thick rimmed metal doors.

Hows about a limited edition Amethyst modern Hotpoint? I'd consider buying one, if I had the room!

Roll on more tasteful retro.

Lines

Matt - please read what I said, the lines are not sold across all outlets, they are reserved for different retailing sectors, it takes years to transition lines, as a retailer thats how you get your "SPECIALS" and can offer your own exclusive deals...

AND you may be surprised by the Ultra Whites programmes, Servis offered there Multi fabric programme years ago in the 80`s, you could wash mixed fabrics and a long tumble / soak programme and when using a good bio powder like Ariel green then the results can be great...

Try soaking stained whites in a bucket overnight with the above, you`ll be surprised how much dirt simply floats away!!!

Happy washing,

the new Gorenjes look very nice, I'd take the top model obviously lol, the One models look smart without being over the top, which is what many people want, the brand has done a good job there, the older models are nearing a decade old, having been around since 2004!
