Gorenje W8544P Series
8 reviews
No after sales customer service – Washing machine leaking water and is still under warranty. I have been unable to arrange for a repairman because they do not answer thier phone or emails. Asko arrange thier customer service in Australia, so I now know not to buy Akso or Gorenje products in the future. I bought it from appliances on line, so I am going to ring them and see if they can help me. Show details
Customer Service is poor – I have purchased a Gorenje Washing machine model W8544PB the machine itself works well but leaks water from underneath. I have tried 3 times to get a service call out for this machine while it is under warranty and each time you get put through the hoops doing the same test over and over again without ever seeing a service engineer. This company… Read more
uses Asko service and to this day have been non responsive to sending out the repairman.
Take care and consider who the after sales people are when buying the product
Today after the 3rd call a serviceman arrived and stated try doing less wahing per load as he felt the washing is applying pressure to the door. if the problem continues take some photos and place another service call.
Great so far – This washing machine is good so far, it is a tiny bit noisy than that i was expecting. Good energy saver and also a good water saver too. Love size of it. Show details
So sad that an expensive machine has developed multiple faults – This machine basically cleans really well! The size was perfect for the blankets I need to wash as well as me able to let my loads build up before I had to wash, thus saving water. Unfortunately I always felt the need to put bucket in more water especially when rinsing or I redid the rinse cycle to get all the detergents out. The spin at 1400 was… Read more
brilliant.
Unfortunately the ‘stylishly European’ interesting door mechanism broke after one month. I can still open the door if I pull the handle, and twist the door upwards to open it. As a strong man this is relatively easy. God knows how a smaller person would cope with this. After three call outs under warranty there STILL IS NO FIX FOR MY DOOR!
The first spin cycle after the wash can get EXTREMELY out of balance. The machine smashes against the wall or the dryer next to it and walks across the floor putting massive strain on the inlet hose. This is a KNOWN PROBLEM with this machine which I ignored at my peril because I was thrilled with the bright red colour and black door surround. But like the tragic story of the beautiful model who turns out to be a horrid person, I fell for this machines charms.
Now after months of use the LED board cuts out and the power cuts out for a second at a time, often during ANY of the spin cycles which shows the machine is about to die totally.
Oh, and an occasional rattle has begun upon the start of the cottons cycle and the belt is just starting to squeak!
Sadly it is less than six months old and I’ve had it. I will be going for a refund from Appliances Online and getting a Simpson or LG from someone else.
Love this machine – I purchased this product mainly for the colour - Red......how happy am I that, not only is it a great colour, it actually does a great job and was a great price. Unlike a lot of front loaders it has a short, short cycle and also gives the user the ability to select the variables of temperature, spin speed etc and save it as your favourite. Highly recommended
Great so Far – Only had this washer for four weeks now but so far we cannot complain and compared to our old top load there is no comparison. We load it up and just turn it on. Only thing we have noticed is at 1000rpm undies and shirts etc come out almost dry but towels and jeans etc at 1000rpm are still wet and dripping so we adjust heavy clothes to spin out at… Read more
1400rpm and the result is perfect. You can adjust water temp, Spin speed and load plus all the other options that it comes with. Appliances online are great to deal with. We have no problem with the noise like others have but we have heard this before about this model.
8kg is good but the noise is bad – I bought this washing machine at appliance online website. they deliver and install the machine for me, which is good. But the noise is too loud , and the vibration is too strong. I asked the staff to fix this for me, they said they will come but the didn't show up. And I asked them again, they fixed the vibration but the noise is still bad. Show details
An absolute gem of a front load Washing Machine – This European made (i.e. Slovenia) washing machine is well built, is gentle on clothes and provides superior wash results. It has the features and technology of much more expensive machines. Service and support is provided by Asko Australia. It is not the quietest machine when it spins at high revs, but even then it has an air of quality. If… Read more
you are in the market for a new washing machine, I thoroughly suggest you consider this machine - I am pleasantly delighted!
