Q: I notice these seem to use very little water. Just enough to wet everything. Is this correct, or is something wrong?

A: Hi - Thanks for choosing GE! Horizontal (Front Load) washers do not require the tub to fill with water like top-load washers. Front loading washers uses load sensing and adaptive water fill to provide just the right amount of water for best performance and low water usage. The wash basket will turn briefly and assess the weight of the load. It will also do this after the load is saturated with water to assess how absorbent the load is. With the load weight and load type we can apply the proper amount of water to wash the load. Keep in touch! Sue

Q: What is the warranty on your washer?

A: I think they do only 1 year

Q: Is this a 5.2 cubic ft for $599 or a 4.5? Description says 4.5, but everywhere else says 5.2.

A: It said 4.5 . I just got this today and I feel it is a lot bigger than my old one with 4.0 I can wash a king size blanket with no problem and the washer is so quiet even i choose max spin speed

Q: Can the dryer controls be relocated to bottom of unit with some kit? I'm afraid it will be too tall when stacked and unable to turn machine on. Thanks

A: Hello Animo - Thank you for your question; we are glad to assist! The dryer controls cannot be relocated to the bottom of the unit. There is not a kit available for this type modification. Thanks for checking. Olga

Q: Is this unit stackable?

A: Hi - Yes, the matching dryer is GE® 7.5 cu. ft. Capacity Front Load Electric Dryer with Steam GFD45ESSMWW (Gas GFD45GSSMWW). Optional Stacking Kit GEFLSTACK is sold separately. Thanks for choosing GE! Sue
