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 :-P

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! | ||

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.

Gorenje ActiveLine
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 !! | ||

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 ;-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO gorenje's LINK | ||

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 CLICK HERE TO GO TO gorenje's LINK | ||

"...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! | ||

Yes UPO are now Gorenje machines, but in the past they were also rebadget Italian ARDO or Turkish Vestel or something else. Or just pristine Finnish made real UPOs. The most famous were their compact toploading tumble action washers.

Here it is finally ...
Hello guys, so my new Gorenje Waveactive is here. I bought the one without the steam generator because those are not yet for sale and I was impatient to have a new washer. I made 3 loads including an extremly dirty loads of whites.
So far I'm very happy with it. The spin cycles are much better than the previous sensocare generation, so no more annoying distibutions of the load before stating.

It hase lots of programs, the doseaid feature which according to the load determines how much detergent must be added. The ion wash which adds ionized air and lots of other options....
The thing I love the most is the new recirculating spray because it is so powerful. | ||

Hi, thank you
Well the drum isn't that hard to turn, but also not that "easy" as on a direct drive machine. My father has a 4 years old Gorenje Sensocare (previuos generation) and it also squeaks sometimes, but I guess al this is because of the belt, because when the machines "heats up" the squeaking stops. Try to rub the inside of the driving belt with a hard soap. This usualy hepls. How happy are you with your Panasonic? Yes that is a LED drum light. No this machine have not an optical sensor in the pump. My old Use Logic Gorenje from 2005 had it, but I rarely activeted it in the rince cylce. | ||

Mike
Hi Mike, thanks mate,
Yes I was so excited because I was waiting for it a long time. The recirculation spray turns on and off during the wash and rinse cycle. On the Sensocare generation the pump were on constantly after the temperature was reached, but this jet on this machine is more powerful than the previous. Also the Ionized Air generator turns on and off but on some programs it is on almost constantly. | ||

@ Rolls_rapide
Thank you for your detailed description. Well I agree with you. Your Panasonic is in fact just a bit different SensoCare machine. So I agree with you on the things you dislike, especially for the distibution on the spin cycle.
This new Waveactive machine also distibute the laundry when it is not properly distributed obviusly, but it does it much better than the SensoCare generation (or your Panasonic) | ||

Whites test
I washed an extremly dirty load of whites on 90*C.
I know that on the pictures I made it isn't so clear how badly the load was dirty (and maybe better this way, because I'm already ashamed) The work socks, pillow cases and mattress covere were on purpose soiled so much for the test. You have also to know that the dirt was very set in because it has been put aside. I used the cotton cycle with the prewash on 90*C. One scoop of regular powdered detergent (nothing special) and one small scoop of oxy powder. | ||

@ gorenje: "The Results..." = They're white - right through!!! :-) I really do think you got the better machine, very happy washing with it. I consider mine to be quite sore on clothes; cotton lint seems to be too easily liberated. | ||

Button respinsiveness When I checked those out at IFA this year I had a hard time getting the buttons to respond to presses even half of the time. That might have been the machines running for days on end. But do you have issues with that? Or are they as responsive as they should be? | ||

@ Rolls_rapide
Ouch... sorry to hear all these problems with your machine.
"I bought an earlier Gorenje, before all the niggly problems were ironed out?" Well yes, could be.... Fortunately now they've changed strategy at Gorenje and they listen a lot what consumers says about problems with their products. The Senso Care generation (and your Panasonic) were in fact good machines in many aspects but with some problems (distribution befor spin, motor..) In fact now with this Waveactive range they waited to go out with the TOL model (the one with the steam generator I wanted to buy) because it first passed the tests but something wasn't as should be, so they have changed and are re-testing the machine before put it on the market. So far this machine seems really well done. Hehe yes they are white right through as they should be ! :-) | ||

My machine apparently has a Panasonic motor (but I don't know if this is a Gorenje motor rebadged, or Panasonics's own, or another manufacturer altogether. Here's a pic or two from the internet. Courtesy of Ebay. | ||

Well yes it does indeed.
I'm happy with it. The washing results are very good. I bought it because I was really curious to see the changes in comparison with the SensoCare line which I use at my father's place and I have to say I like what I see. I haven't tried all the programs yet. I'm a bit reluctant to try the 59 minutes ion wash because it's quite short but sooner or later I'll try it with a light soiled load. It is quiet but in certain cases spinning at 1400 rpm isn't that quiet like a Miele or Siemens, but ok it also isn't a Miele and it also depends on the load. | ||

@ Rolls_rapide
... ohh yes I know that...
I've experienced this on the SensoCare of my father especially with a full load of sheets. And that's the main improvement on this Wave Active new line. Actually the Senso Care line (and apparently also the Panasonics made by Gorenje) are in fact good washers but with this problem with long distributions on the spin cycle. The generation before the Senso Care, the Use Logic generation were perfect in the spin cycle and from what I have experienced the Wave Active are also very good. | ||
