    I do not recommend best buy

    I do not recommend buying in the best buy of this washing machine I bought I unpacked the top door scratched and unwashed casing on the side cracked I will not give up because I live in a apartment and again it would be difficult to bear downstairs and take it to the store I do not recommend shopping there

    Not enough water

    Good for a small apartment. I can’t do a cycle on normal wash because it doesn’t give enough water not even halfway. I do not fill up the machine with lots of clothes and still the water doesn’t fill up on a normal cycle. For a normal wash I always have to wash it on “casual” cycle for more water. It’s also loud. You can’t see if it’s really washing your clothes.

    BEST PURCHASE EVER!!

    Wished I would have made this purchase a LOT sooner!! I recommend the GE portable washer even though it is a little more expensive than some other models available on the market. I like the features that the GE portable washer offers. I was pleasantly surprised that the larger capacity basket holds ample loads as advertised. The washer runs quietly which was a concern since we live on the 2nd level in our building. We had hesitated previously of making this purchase for this fact but do not worry. We have not experienced any complaints from our neighbors which complain about any noise issues. The washer is compact for apartment living and easy to maneuver. I really like the stability of the faucet connector. Tried another unit that was less expensive but did not like the quality nor the performance of the product. We returned that model and ordered the GE for a couple hundred dollars more hoping this model would work out. Best Buy doorstep delivery was more than satisfactory!! Really appreciated the communication level that Best Buy reps provided to schedule the delivery. The delivery was even received earlier than original scheduled. Shout out to all of the AWESOME customer service provided, they truly deserve it!! I can only recommend that you purchase this machine if you are shopping portable washers. It is well worth the extra money. The most exciting part is that there are NO MORE TRIPS to the community laundry which is really important, especially during corona virus concerns. This prompted our decision to finally make the purchase due to a family member has a compromised immune system. Glad we took that leap of faith!! Thank you GE for a wonderful product and to BEST BUY for a great job!!

    Love this washer

    I use this in my kitchen and roll it up to the sink and attach it to the faucet. Some people's complaints sounded like they used it by sticking the drain hose in a utility sink. That's different than what I'm writing about here. Answers to negative reviews that scared me when I was looking at this washer: 1. With the hose/unicouple hooked up to the faucet, no water runs down the hoses. If it does, either your adapter or unicouple aren't tight enough. It did spray a little, so I took somebody's suggestion and attached a non-cotton sock (cotton would never dry) with the toe cut out, to the unicouple. See photo. But the hoses do hold water. You need to shake them out really well before storing away. 2. I took the hose reel off my old portable and put it on this one. See 2nd photo. But that doesn't really work b/c of the way the hoses are arranged. So I don't use it. It would make a mess w/the wet sock on it. I just tuck the hose into the washer as intended. 3. It's easy to move (and I'm old. LOL). I saw some photos here that might explain why you have trouble moving it. TAKE the 4 white things OFF the big metal bottom plate of the washer before you stand it up. They're not meant to stay on. The washer does have 4 wheels. From what I had read here, I wasn't sure. 4. When I use any setting that usually uses softener, whether or not I use softener, the softener cup ends up full of water and needs to be taken out and dumped. Weird. So I just use "Normal" for most loads. 5. I saw somebody say that "Normal" doesn't use enough water. This is a high efficiency machine. It uses less water by design. I think that's why it sounds so weird, too. We're not used to high efficiency. 6. Oddly, the timer seems to be really inaccurate. I try to set a louder timer, since I'm usually not in the room, so I know when it's done. But it's never done when my timer goes off. Sometimes it's way off. I wondered if it timed each step of the cycle, but I don't think that's it either. I just gave up trying to know when it will be done. 7. I'm 5' tall. I can JUST barely reach in and get the small things off the floor of the washer. To really wipe down the inside, I have to stand on something.

    DON'T BE AFRAID TO BUY THIS WASHING MACHINE!

    (Want to skip the back story? Find the **) Any large purchase can be scary, especially when the item isn't carried in the store. I knew that it was time to upgrade from my 1.0 Cu. Ft. washing machine and kiss the Laundromat goodbye (for all the items that I couldn't fit in my older tiny portable). I live in a small (up two flights of stairs) apartment, with no space or hookups for a washer or dryer. For years I hauled laundry up and down stairs to the laundromat. I thought about purchasing a portable washer and dryer, but was always a bit leery of the "portable thing". Honestly, the idea of micro loads of laundry, and the worry of overloading the machine or grappling multiple intake and dranage hoses seemed worse (if that's possible!) than the weekly pilgrimage, up and down the stairs to the laundromat. Exhausted, I purchased my first portable washer and dryer about three years ago...and yes, there were lots of micro loads, plenty of wrestling matches with hoses, a flood (forgot to stink the drain hose in the sink!) and I still ended up taking most jeans, heavy sweaters and sheets to the laundromat. That said, having the ability to do even small loads was a huge advantage. Having portable units, even small ones, cut my trips to the laundromat from once a week to once a month! I had purchased my small units used, as I wanted to see the pros and cons, while taking a small financial risk (more money for less cubit footage). I know felt confident that it would be worth the investment to purchase a new washer and dryer. I was excited to find the GE- 2.8 Cu. Ft washer but as concerned by the one star review on the Best Buy site, and lack of reviews (at the time, on other sites). I couldn't seem to find reviews that talked about the quality or ease of use of this machine. **I have used this washer (and it's companion dryer, GE- Spacemaker 3.6 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer) for two months. NO MORE MICRO LOADS! NO MORE LAUNDROMAT...AND NO MORE CRAZY HOSES! The Ge- 2.8 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle Top-Loading Portable Washer - White/Black, is the real deal. I don't have to sensor my wash, I can wash pretty much wash anything (besides pillows and rugs). It loads like any other top loader and besides hooking it up to the sink, it feel like a traditional washer. I love doing laundry again! I love this washer, but a few things you may find as a challenge: -Size: Check that it will work for your space. He's a big boy! -Cycle Times- Some of the load selections take an hour or more. The quick cycle is aprox 35min. -Control Panel: It sounds weird but the cycle selection takes a bit of study. Ex. If you want to use fabric softener you have to select "Deep Rinse". It just lacks a bit of intuitive design. -Set Up: Hoses for portable set up is not listed prominently. A metal safety pan needs to be screwed to the underneath of the machine, it's a bit of a pain.(If they offer free set up, get it)

  • I'll be connecting this to my bathroom sink with a single faucet. It seems from the manual that the only needed inlet/drain is the included unicoppler tube? Or do i need to purchase a drain tube or inlet tube? how long are the included tubes or tube?

    Hi mish77- A unicouple hose for connection to sink faucet is included. No additional hoses are required. The drain hose and unicouple are both 60". Here's the link to the Installation Instructions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90587-2.PDF - Thanks or choosing GE! Sue
