Gorenje Washing Machine Reviews
Gorenje W6843L/S Washing Machine
Maxim:
Suddenly, my LG got fed up and now I've got a Gorenje washing machine. Later, I read in reviews that someone else had a similar problem with the machine. They said it had balance issues, was noisy, and so on. But for me, everything is fine. All the programs work fine. There's no particular noise. Everything is fine overall. If you set the spin speed to 1400, your clothes come out almost dry. In a pinch, you can iron them and wear them straight away.
Someone also wrote that during the synthetic wash cycle, the temperature reached over 40 degrees Celsius. I don't seem to have that problem... and how did he even detect it? Did he stick a thermometer inside?
I'm completely satisfied with this machine. No issues whatsoever. The wash quality is excellent. It's quiet. The vibration during the spin cycle is barely noticeable. And the spin cycle itself is very high-quality. It almost completely dries at 1400 rpm. I was also specifically looking for a machine that wasn't assembled in Russia, the CIS, or China. I don't really trust their assembly. And this one was assembled in Slovenia. I think the quality must be better. I was also considering getting a Whirpol, but then I decided on this one. And I don't regret it. It's a great machine! Top notch!
Pros: It's leak-proof, offers high-quality spinning, excellent washing results, and offers a variety of modes (such as tailored to the type of soil, quick wash, eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and more). It consumes little energy and water. Good sound insulation allows for near-silent operation, and the galvanized housing is rust-resistant.
Cons: The price is quite high. But considering that machines of this class and with similar functionality are more expensive from other manufacturers, it's not really a drawback.

Ivan:
I bought this machine about three months ago. It works perfectly now. I have no complaints about it! I recommend it!!!
I bought it online. I searched through a lot of websites first. I was looking for a machine that would cost no more than twenty rubles. It had to be front-loading. It had at least Class A wash performance. It had a load capacity of 4 to 6 kg. Spinning could be from Class A to C, but it's not that important. Energy consumption should be at least A. A+ or A++ would be acceptable. And the drum should be stainless steel. It's more reliable.
As you might have guessed, there are quite a few criteria. Which means I have a pretty clear idea of what I need. The Gorenje WS53121S washing machine meets all of these requirements. So, I found what I was looking for. The only thing is, the model seems a bit outdated. There aren't many of these in stores, especially here in the Urals. But I think they're still available in the capital.
I'm glad I found exactly what I was looking for. The car is good. It works flawlessly.
Pros:
- Stainless steel tank.
- Simple and intuitive controls. Plus, everything is in Russian.
- Many different modes and options.
- Leak protection, variable speed control, a sensor that checks water turbidity, and more.
Cons: This model isn't very common in the Urals. If it breaks down, finding spare parts might be a problem.
Gorenje WS50Z129N Washing Machine
Valeria:
I'm so glad I bought this machine. It washes laundry perfectly! It rinses well, and the spin cycle is excellent. There's no detergent left in the dispenser after washing. The controls are convenient and easy to use, and there's a display that shows the remaining time. You can reduce the cycle time by pressing a special button. However, there's a small drawback to this machine. After the wash is finished, water often remains on the elastic band. Therefore, you have to carefully clean it with a cloth. This machine is made in Slovenia, which, in my opinion, is a plus.
Pros: I like everything.
Cons: I have to clean the water from the rubber seal behind the door.

Alina:
We recently purchased this washing machine. We hooked it up and started using it. On the fifth rinse cycle, the machine started freezing. It was as if the cycle had disappeared. It didn't understand what it was supposed to do. It just kept spinning the drum back and forth. The time remaining on the display didn't decrease, but rather increased. It would play around like that for a while, and then, as if nothing had happened, it continued to lap.
It sounds like some kind of electronic glitch. I don't know. It's like we just bought the washing machine, and it's already time to return it to the store. After all, if it started glitching so quickly, what will happen next?!? It's unlikely that everything will get better; more likely, the opposite. It's a shame, because it would be a good machine by all accounts, if not for these issues... Bottom line: the idea may be great, but the execution is not great!
Gorenje WA 72145 BK Washing Machine
Ilnar:
We, our relatives, and friends all have washing machines from reputable brands like Electrolux, LG, Virupul, and others that work great. Many last for 5-7 years without breaking down. So, I'm extremely disappointed that my Gorenje WA 72145 BK broke after just two years of careful use. When I bought this machine, I was considering buying another one from the same manufacturer, but after this, I definitely won't buy one! I do have a similar microwave, and it's still working, but I'll wait; something tells me it'll soon go away too...
Pros: It's quiet, holds a lot of laundry, and has decent wash quality. It also has a good spin cycle.
Cons: The engine blew in the third year of operation. I didn't do much washing, so I can't even understand why it broke so quickly. If you change the engine at an authorized service center, you'll have to pay about ten rubles. For the engine itself, for troubleshooting, travel, and labor. And then you have to wait about a month for a new part. The engine broke while drying. The car is dry inside, so it wasn't due to moisture. Who knows what. It's sad.
Gorenje WS53121S Washing Machine
Martha:
I was delighted with the machine. I'm very happy with this purchase. For the price, the quality is simply excellent. During installation, the technician showed me the machine's troubleshooting feature and explained how to use it. In half an hour, I tested all the modes and options. I found some connection errors and learned that our water is quite hard.
Pros: Everything works well.
Cons: It's a little noisy at 1200 rpm. But it's not a big deal. When the bathroom door is locked, it's unnoticeable.
Gorenje WS 512 SYB washing machine
Evgeniya:
It's a good machine. I was looking for a black one. I'm tired of regular white washing machines. Some people say that the color gets dirty and so on. Well, that's not true! I only wipe it down with a cloth once a month. And even then, just enough to pick up a few specks of dust. And it still looks like new, even though it's over six months old! It's a real beauty. It looks gorgeous!
As for the features, everything is excellent! The washing machine is a solid A! It's the perfect size for two! If you have small children, you might want to get a bigger machine. This one works great for me! It's almost silent during the spin cycle. It doesn't bounce, jump, or vibrate. I'm lucky with it. My previous machine would shake during the spin cycle. But this one doesn't budge at all!
There are different programs for different types of fabrics, etc. I like the display. It shows how much more it will wash. If you don't want to wait, you can set a faster program. For those on a budget, you can set a more energy-efficient option. It doesn't have a drying function. And it's not really necessary. The spin cycle is excellent. So good that some items actually come out dry after washing! The controls are simple; anyone can figure it out. Perfect for a family of 2-3!
Pros: Beautiful and stylish black case, no vibration, no noise, simple and clear controls, looks simply brilliant!
Cons: For those with a large family, the drum capacity may not be sufficient.
Gorenje W6843L/S Washing Machine
Leonid:
I bought a Gorenje machine just ten days ago. We tried starting it five times, but it just wouldn't wash properly! The wash time would increase unexpectedly for some reason, and the temperature would jump higher than expected.
I ran a quick wash, and instead of 15 minutes, it took almost fifty! And of those, only seven minutes were for the wash itself, plus a few minutes for the rinse cycle. The rest of the time, it couldn't even distribute the laundry in the drum. The drum wouldn't spin properly if it was unbalanced! I only threw in a couple of items. The wash finished. And the laundry was still wet!
The drum spun like it was dead. And, in my opinion, there was no imbalance. Just some kind of monstrous glitch! When I started the synthetics cycle, the water temperature was 20% higher than it should have been! And instead of the expected 50 minutes, the wash took almost an hour and a half! And the end result was the same: the clothes were soaking wet. And there were traces of foam on the elastic band. My machine refused to spin at all and spontaneously extended the cycle time.
And the consultants at Gorenye aren't exactly the most knowledgeable. He simply repeated everything I'd already read in the instructions. Specifically, something like unlocking the door and rearranging the items being washed or adding more. As if I hadn't already tried that without him! When I asked about the excessive temperature, he said that everything seemed to be fine where the temperature sensor was located. After all, the wash was still going on.
I got the impression he was talking to me like I was a clueless child. He assumed everything was fine with the car. But apparently, not so much with me. So we didn't solve the problems.
Pros: The sound insulation is decent, and all programs run quietly. It can hold up to 6 kg of items. The design is quite decent.
Cons: The drain pump is too loud. It keeps glitching instead of spinning properly. Tech support doesn't get to the root of the problem, just reciting what's already written in the manual.

The car is terrible, I bought it, I want to throw it away, it’s glitching
Once you buy the GORENJE W 7222/S, you'll lose sleep. You'll give yourself a headache because it bounces terribly, makes a lot of noise, and doesn't spin your laundry!
We were shocked when we bought this car; they refused to exchange it. Then there was the circus at the service center, replacing the body and shock absorbers, which didn't solve the problem. And it still drums in our bathroom and prances like a horse.
We have the same problem! There are simply no worse cars! The manufacturer abandoned them. It's up to you and your trash! And then there's Slovenia!
I bought a Gorenje washing machine. After a month and a half, it started malfunctioning. The quick wash cycle takes 50-60 minutes, and as a result, the laundry isn't spun properly. I contacted the service center, but nothing worked. The technician's conclusion was that the machine was working properly. They even made me pay for shipping it back.
We bought the machine a month ago. Pros: it washes well. I tested it on jeans, and they became lighter. Large capacity of 6.5 kg. Cons: it smells like plastic for now. I hope it dries. It's a plastic drum. Another downside is the narrow, large drum and very soft movement, which causes vibration. It's very sensitive to the balance of the laundry, which is different from my old Bosch machine. You wouldn't last 18 years with that kind of vibration; I adjusted the level in different vertical positions. I think it's just the very soft suspension.
This machine is terrible! I bought it and now I really regret it! It doesn't dry the laundry at all. I have to take it out and wring it out by hand. Don't buy this crap! And it doesn't wash well at 40 degrees.
We purchased a Gorenie w 62fz12/s in March 2017. The wash cycle is inconsistent—it takes much longer to wash. It can be washed in cold water, but the temperature setting is inconsistent. Don't buy it!!!
I bought it yesterday. Today was my first wash. I set it to cotton and went for a walk. I came back and was shocked! Everything in the machine was scattered on the floor. I set it to spin to see what was happening. It was terrifying, the way it was spinning, I've never seen a washing machine "jump" like that!
I'm looking for a new washing machine—I'm racking my brains over which one to get... My old one (Electrolux) worked great for 21 years, and it would continue to do so if I had spare parts for such an old machine. I need to replace the universal joint, but they don't make them anymore. It's 21 years old!!! Where can I find one like that? It was still a locally assembled machine, and now Electroluxes are assembled here. 🙁
I bought it two months ago. It ran a couple of washes without a hitch. Then it started… doing whatever I wanted. It doesn't spin on the quick wash cycle. The spin cycle makes such a loud whistling noise that you could run away, even though it's set to the correct level. It's quite noisy overall. And the wash time itself takes longer than stated.
I bought a Gorenje WT62123 from the Premier Techno online store. It was highly praised, but I'm disappointed. It made a terrible whistling noise when spinning, and it shut off on the second wash. The store refused to exchange it, only if it was defective. The repairman, under warranty, took the machine apart, reassembled it, and got it working again. I spent a long time trying to find fault with it. He wrote back that it was working properly. I bought a "pig in a poke" for 26,000 rubles! It whistles and then I have to wait for it to shut off again!
I bought a Gorenje W65FZ23/S washing machine. It's been in use for a month and a half, and that's it. We don't want to spin it, and the runtime doesn't decrease, but rather increases during washing. It's noisy, and I'm very unhappy with it. Before this, I had a Whirlpool, an upright one. No problems at all. If it were on sale, I would buy it instead.
I bought a Gorenje washing machine a year ago, model MV65Z23/S. I was attracted by the European assembly. I've never seen anything like it. When it spins, it shakes so much that I have to hold it. It often doesn't spin the laundry. It tears the terry towels, even though I turn the spin speed down to 800. I had a Bosch before. I miss it when I think about it. I don't recommend it! Save your nerves!
The first empty wash cycle started with a loud clicking sound. Everything seemed fine, but at the end of the final spin, a burning wire smell started to appear. My husband and I are debating whether to start washing the laundry or call a service center. Could you give me some advice?
Can you tell me where I can buy spare parts for the door on my car?
I bought a Gorenje …093 vertical, 900 rpm. When I got home, I discovered it was assembled in Slovakia on the Whirlpool line. It smelled plastic at first, but then it disappeared. I have no complaints about the wash quality. Rpm isn't that important; I still have to hang it up to dry. I knew it was noisy, but I've gotten used to it. My old Otsein vertical (Spain) worked faithfully for 23 years. We'll see how long this one lasts.
It washes normally, but it is impossible to interrupt and change the program during operation from the first wash.
