Time for a new washer - new gorenje wave active line

[gorenje]

Hello to everyone. I'm going to make myself a present and buy me a new washing machine. I would like to try the new gorenje washers, the wave active line. It will be available the next week, so I will take a look and get one. The washer is this one on the picture. It would be great to get also him along with the washer

Go for it Ingemar!

You're hot, and still young! He looks a bit Bulgarian.
There is a hot Bulgarian doctor at the hospital I volunteer at, but he is hetero.
Once now and then though, they are as we say, too hot to be str8.
Best of luck and happiness to you. I hope you find someone special to share life with!

LOL Mike ) you made me laugh. Thanks for the compliment and for the best wishes.

Nice machines!

I like the styling: the control panel looks clean and tidy.

The door on this new rangelooks similar to the Slovenian Panasonics... but Gorenge appears to have improved it... it now has double-glazing.

The Panasonic single-glazed version on the other hand, looks half-finished, like a 'work in progress', or just plain cheap.

I must be losing me mind...

... I can't spell Gorenje correctly! Yikes!

WaveActive specifications

Apparently it has a 15 deg C wash... more than a little too low for me!

And... a sealed door unit:
"The large door, made from a single piece of plastic without any screws ensures stability, prevents annoying squeaks or creaks. It opens out to a full 180 degrees, so emptying and loading the drum is as easy as can be."

Hmm.

Hi Rolls Rapide,

yes I also like the styling. I'm really curious about this machine and can't wait to try it. In the promotional video at some point the interior of the drum is visible (see picture) and I saw the shape of the new nozzle for the recirculation waterfall. I really like washing machines with recirculation, not only because it is fun to watch but because the recirculation really improves the washing action.

Recirculation jet

I agree.

The recirculation jet is very useful for saturating the laundry quicker, for mixing the detergent more thoroughly, and reducing the amount of 'stop-start' fills that some other machines seem to do.

I don't know why Electrolux/Zanussi/AEG removed the recirculation jet from most of their machines.

I think that it is a sensible feature - especially with the 'ever decreasing' water consumption of modern machines. I have encountered standard machines 'filled to the gunwales', where the load never gets properly drenched. Conversely, a similar load in a machine with the recirculation jet, does get properly soaked.

Morning Ingemar

We agree on both your choices, firstly for the best appliance manufacturer around without having PRC on the label and secondly well...err, Lol !!

Looks great , love the styling, like the 70`s silver hi-fi minimal meets new age !! The style of nozzle is similar to V-Zug, sleek but powerful, have been very impressed with nozzle on the Servis Vestel which really sprays n soaks...

Looking forward to hearing your reviews from your home manufacturer !!

Oh Callum, ya need to practice lol...pronounced Gor En Ya !!

And the Zug jet, steady stream action....

 

[rolls_rapide]

"ya need to practice lol...pronounced Gor En Ya !!"

Yes, well - it must have been a moment of madness, Lol. What probably didn't help was me reading something previously about someone pronouncing it as in "orange"!

It is peculiar how a manufacturer (Zanussi) can introduce a feature (recirculation jet) and then effectively lose their way.

Meanwhile, other manufacturers 'grab the baton and run with it' and do a substantially better job. The Servis jet looks quite powerful, a bit like a Hoover Twintub pumping out.

Hello Mike & Rolls rapide,

yes "gor en yeah" that would be the pronunciation ;-) I know it may be a bit complicated, but it is normal if it isn't your language.

Hahaha "orange" is funny. I'm used to it. A friend from Italy when he saw the brand he sad it a "gorengy".

Here is a commercial you can listen to.

Indeed it is a bit odd that Electrolux/Zanussi/AEG removed the recirculation jet.

Yes the nozzle of the Sevis seems great, very powerful. We do have a lot of Beko (Arçelik) appliances but we don't have any of Vestel ones. I think that the Turks are also doing a good job in the appliances market.

Anyway as soon as I get the machine I will keep updating ;-)

"I will keep updating ;-) "

Yes - please do!

 

[gorenje]

Hi guys, sorry I didn't forget to update you ...

The fact is that the new WaveActive models are coming out step by step. First the 6 and 7 kg capacity, which are already available. In June the 8 kg range and in August the 9 and 10 kg premium line. And the 10 kg + steam is the model I'm going to buy, so I have to wait a little longer.

In the meantime, I can send you another video where you can see closer the details of the machine.

So stay tuned ...

Ingemar

"...I didn't forget to update you ... "

Ah, I had wondered.

It's typical of companies to shift the goalposts. Maybe with the extended delay, they'll have any early production niggles ironed out by then. So, good luck!
