  • The motor warranty covers only 2 years.

Verdict

The Gorenje Wave NEI74SAP washing machine with 7 kg capacity and 1400 RPM maximum spin speed demonstrates strong energy performance with A-rated efficiency, using only 44 kWh per 100 cycles and 44 liters of water per cycle. The machine includes 16 washing programs such as White Cotton, Colored Cotton, Mixed Fabrics, Wool, Eco 40-60, Power Wash (59/32 min), Quick 20 min, and specialized cycles for shirts, duvets, and baby clothes. Its practical features include the FastWashing function that reduces program duration, Water+ for extra rinse cycles, and advanced protection systems like AquaStop and foam control. The UKS Balance System helps maintain stability during operation, while StableTech panels reduce vibration. The machine stands out with its 180-degree door opening and compact design, weighing 61.8 kg. Some limitations include a relatively high minimum spin speed of 800 RPM, lack of specialized cycles for stains, allergens, and outdoor wear, and a shorter motor warranty of 2 years compared to industry standards. The machine also doesn't include an extra rinse function or gentle cycle option.
