Gorenje washing machines have become a model of a successful combination of reliability and aesthetics. We will find out which models the Slovenian brand offers to our customers today.
What are Gorenje washing machines?
Automatic burning washing machines (CMA) are produced in Slovenia, a small country in the central part of the European Union. Today it is difficult to reliably say where a particular company produces household appliances. But about Gorenje it is known that its production facilities are located mainly in Slovenia and do not go beyond Europe.
The Slovenian company is inferior in popularity to famous brands - Bosch, Electrolux, Whirlpool, Candy, LG, Samsung, Daewoo. Gorenje brand is almost never found in the tops and ratings of "best cars". The only model that was highlighted by the rating experts is the GORENJE W 72ZY2 / R + PS PL95. This is a model with a tank - for offline washing.
The brand represents different types of models:
- Frontal. Narrow and full-sized. Narrow are machines with a depth of less than 40 cm. They are appreciated for their compactness - they are easier to place in small bathrooms or kitchens. Full-size SMAs have a depth of more than 40 cm. They take up more space than narrow analogs, but they also have a larger load. The frontal type of cars differs from the vertical arrangement of the hatch. If you like the lateral tab of linen and the round "porthole" on the facade - this type is for you. It’s convenient to integrate the front wheels into headsets - there is no need for access from above.
- Vertical. In these machines, clothes are laid on top - it is convenient, you do not need to bend over or squat. These machines have a concise design, but today they are at the peak of popularity in Europe.
- Washing machines with a tank. This type of SMA will appeal to those who do not have running water. You can buy such a machine in the country. She will help you out if you suddenly turn off the water supply - such a washing machine is able to work completely autonomously. If for your village water supply interruptions are commonplace, it makes sense to think about a model with a tank.
“Burning” pays a lot of attention not only to the technical side, but also to the aesthetic one. All products of this brand are divided into designer lines.
The name of the brand Gorenje comes from the name of the Slovenian village of Gorenje, where the company was founded in 1950.
Gorenje simplicity
The philosophy of this design line is beauty, simplicity and affordability. AGR of this line are represented by two colors - black and white. No compromises and midtones. The perfect design logically complements the high technology and functionality of the Simplicity models.
Simplicity is:
- Ergonomics and natural materials. SMA will fit into any interior.
- Adaptability. Cars remember your actions and offer you the option you need in the future.
- The price is for you. Savings not only during the purchase, but also during operation - due to the careful consumption of electricity and water.
Gorenje ONE
This line is easy to describe in two words - "white minimalism." Reliability is paramount - nothing should distract from the main mission. Another difference of the line is environmental friendliness. The ONE white SMA line spends little water and meets all EU energy saving requirements. And finally, ONE devices use the latest technologies, which we will discuss below.
Gorenje color
This line is for those who are used to expressing their emotions in color. Color versions are not chosen for installation in furniture. They are used in the interior to create an atmosphere or bright accents. You can choose frontal SMA strict black, bright red, stylish silver.

Design features and interesting features:
- Drum SpaDrum. Provides a neat wash. Smooth drum walls are covered with holes d = 3 mm. Due to the undulating 3D ribs and the special geometry of the “window”, the laundry is evenly distributed over the drum.
- DurableHeater. Slow limescale extends heater life. The reason for the effect is nickel plating.
- SensorIQ Technology. Touch control of the washing process. Intelligent selection of water volume and process time.
- StableTech. Thanks to the stiffening ribs on the walls of the drum, the stability of the apparatus increases, vibration decreases.
- Self-cleaning program. To maintain the cleanliness and sterility of the tank. The linen smells nice, there are never any unpleasant odors inside the machine.
- SensoCare. The technology provides an optimal wash mode for a specific fabric. The technique itself selects the temperature, amount of water, speed and spin time. For things that require special care, additional modes and functions are provided:

- TimeCare - accelerate washing;
- AllergyCare - more water and extra rinse;

Recent Developments
More recently, Gorenje introduced the new WaveActive Series of CMAs. "Active Wave" was released under the motto - "Do not load your head - load the car." This slogan directly points to the increased artificial intelligence of new products.
All WaveActive models are equipped with advanced technologies, including:
- IonTech. Ionization technology that improves contamination removal. Things are better washed without increasing the temperature of the water and without additional detergents.
- SteamTech Steam treatment. Tissues are completely washed, smoothed, odors are eliminated, bacteria are destroyed. No need to add air conditioning.
- Inverter PowerDrive. Used economical engine. Quiet, powerful and efficient. It saves energy, has a longer service life compared to the collector counterpart.
- WaveActive. Any fabric is safe. The drum design provides delicate handling. The effect is created due to the wave perforation of the drum and the wave-like shape of the 3D ribs.
All of these technologies increase the quality of washing without requiring additional costs from the consumer.
