Yes, it is very interesting, never seen a real machine but they seem to be sturdy and full featured. The onlythings I can tell you is that one of their designers is Pininfarina and at times they produced mechanical for SMEG refrigerators. | ||

That's the one who spins dry at 2000 rpm... Asko is introducing their 2000 rpm washer really soon... | ||

Hmm. I,ve had an Gorenje Washing machine a few years ago. Sadly it broke after 2 and a half years use. It smelled burned and blowed the fuses. What exactly this happened i dont know, but i belive something in the motor broke. Hereīs a pic of the machine i had.

Fredericksam, that machine you had was the machine my Nana replaced her 1992 Philco with in Aug 2000 - did a good job cleaning, very quiet, used the right amount of water and had a weird spin sequence but as fun as it was to watch the spin it was a bit too dragged out with the pauses and re distributions and speed varying. Not to mention spinning both ways in turn! I believe its still going, not been to the house since Nana passed to see my Grandad but before Nana died it was stuffering Timer issues. It occasionally sticks on cotton rinse and needs the odd nudge. It was badged a Belling WashWISE 1100 Here. Looks a well built machine on the outside for todays standards. I have seen the new BOL Gorenges and frankly they are awful! Ok the plastic porthole on the washer is reminiscent of a Hotpoint Liberator but its in a cheap wobbly plastic frame. The machine control panel is lightweight plastic and looks tacky. The drum lifters look flimsy and look as though the wouldnt tumble washing well. I doubt I will ever see this 2000rpm version soon but I hope they are less plasticky than its cheaper cousins. Rob
