Gorenje's new eco-friendly washing machine, and for those with busy lives

Thanks to Gorenje’s innovative UseLogic® technology the new freestanding WA60125 washing machine operates with lower water and energy consumption, making it extremely environmentally friendly.

Boasting an A+ energy class rating, this new model consumes 10% less energy compared to an ‘A’ rated appliance and also benefits from greater savings in water so has the potential of reducing household utility bills. The large capacity drum takes 6kg of laundry and the ergonomically designed extra large 33cm porthole door makes it easier to load and empty the drum, even when washing large laundry items, such as duvets and blankets.

UseLogic® technology uses intelligent sensors to continuously monitor the purity of the water in each cycle and automatically adjusts the level of water for the type of load; ensuring that clothes and fabrics are cleaned gently and efficiently. During the rinsing process, the sensors also monitor the amount of detergent used and automatically take care of additional rinsing where appropriate.

As well as the 15 standard washing programmes, this machine also features special programmes tailored to suit all kinds of needs. These include the Mix option, which is designed to wash a variety of different garments and colours at the same time, instead of traditionally separating. The Easy Ironing option adds more water and has a gentler spinning action to prevent clothes from bundling together and easing creasing and wrinkling, making them easier to iron – a bonus for those who hate ironing! The ECO 30ºC wash option provides excellent washing results at a lower temperature; giving the opportunity to save energy and money once more! The 17 Minute Quick Wash option is very handy for less soiled laundry and perfect of those of us in a hurry!

This new model features the special SterilTub function, a self-cleaning programme that can be run once a month to remove any residues of grease that may build up in the washing machine and may promote the growth of bacteria. The programme runs with an empty drum at a high temperature and cleans even the most remote areas of the tub, leaving it clean, fresh and odour free.

Even when spinning at the highest speed of 1200rpm, this model, by virtue of its superior drive and highly effective insulation, is so quiet that it will never drown the sound of a normal conversation, so no need to move out of the kitchen when friends are over for a coffee!

Ruth Ferguson, Marketing Manager, Gorenje UK, said: “People today lead very busy lives, so we look for the most convenient and efficient solution in order to meet their everyday needs and save time. Washing machines have developed significantly and now use almost half the amount of electricity and water when compared to models developed a over a decade ago.

“By using intelligent technology, the WA60125 automatically optimises the washing process and uses less water and energy, which ultimately saves on those all important household bills, as well as being friendlier to the environment. Thanks to the ECO 30ºC Wash option, we can achieve excellent performance and results, whilst washing at lower temperatures. And with the new SterilTub programme you can rid the drum of any unpleasant odours that arise through regular use of low temperature washing with a dedicated programme!”
