What we don't like about Gorenje WGAM4S74A

  • The 49 L drum is small for a big load.
  • The ECO cycle takes 207 min.
  • Remote control needs the dial set to remote mode.
  • Without remote mode, the app only reports when a wash ends.
  • Only two programs finish in under an hour.

Verdict

A depth of 46 cm is the first thing to notice about the Gorenje WGAM4S74A, and it is why this one fits spaces where deeper machines do not. The 7 kg drum suits a single person or a couple who wash often. Energy and water use are both strong points: 35 kWh per 100 cycles and 41 L per cycle. The 14 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick top-up. It has 15 washing programs, an extra rinse, a laundry detection system and a wash assist function, which is less usual. The dial and buttons run every wash, so the app is optional. The trade-off is the drum: at 49 L it is small, and the ECO wash takes 207 min. It suits someone with a tight space who wants efficient, everyday washing without fuss.
