    Love this little gem!

    I have very limited space for my washer and dryer. It compares to a closet. Finding something so small required a custom order. It is very small on the outside, but has amazing space internally. I love the fact that there is NO agitator to have clothes get hung up on. The installer said it runs on magnets. I have yet to research that, but he works for a plumbing business and was super impressed. I love it and am very happy with Best Buy for finding it for me!

    Flimsy lid, cheap drawer, deafeningly loud –beware

    Bought this compact top-load washer because I needed something that would fit in my small washer/dryer area of my home. Got it delivered and installed this morning… and after only three loads I’m already mad I didn’t return it on the spot. The lid is an absolute joke. It’s a super thin, flimsy piece of plastic that folds in half like a cheap laptop screen. Every time I open it to put clothes in or take them out it flops around, gets in the way, and feels like it’s going to break the first time I sneeze on it. Super clumsy and awkward – worst lid design I’ve ever used. The detergent/softener drawer is even cheaper. It sticks, barely slides, and already feels loose after one day like it’s going to fall apart. Looks and feels like the kind of plastic you’d find on a $49 toy, not a several-hundred-dollar washer. Noise level is ridiculous. On the wash cycle it sounds like a tractor, and when it hits spin it rattles and roars so loud I can hear it clearly in the next room with the door closed. I work from home – there’s no way I can run this thing during the day without headphones. For the price (just under $1,000), this thing feels like bottom-of-the-barrel build quality. It cleans fine so far, but everything you actually touch and hear every day is cheap and loud. Wish I would’ve spent a little more and gotten something that doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart in a year. Very disappointed – if you’re on the fence, keep looking.

    Very nice washer

    We have a limited amount of space for our washer and dryer. This washer is a good fit, works well, has plenty of options, and looks great too.

    Ideal for smaller spaces

    As someone with a small laundry room this machine is a great fit. It may be smaller in dimension but has a good amount of capacity. The design of the lid is ideal for laundry rooms or spaces that have over head cabinets. Glad that at least one name brand makes this machine and that Best Buy has it available.

    I like this machine a lot

    Love the size; it works well; like the way the lid can be folded up, also the compartment for the soap and softener.

  • What lint stopper works best on this washer? The standard lint collectors don't fit on the hose.

    Hi there! Thanks for your question! The lint filters are located on the inside of the tub. These directions are from page 11 of your Use and Care manual: Clean EVERY MONTH to remove any items that may have been caught in the filter. 1. Remove the blue lint filters from the side of the basket by unclipping. 2. Open the filter, gently remove lint, rinse filter in warm water, and close. 3. Replace by snapping filter back into its location in the washer basket. We hope this helps! -Michael@GEA
