GE - 4.5 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer with Water Level Control, Deep Fill, Quick Wash, and Glass Lid - Diamond Gray

I’m extremely happy with this washer! From the moment I started using it, I could tell it was something special. It runs very smoothly, is surprisingly quiet, and does an excellent job cleaning clothes—even tough loads come out looking fresh and spotless. One of the things I appreciate the most is how easy it is to use. The controls are simple and intuitive, and the different settings really help customize each wash depending on what you need. It also feels very efficient, both in water and energy usage, which is a big plus. The design is modern and looks great in my laundry area. You can tell it’s a high-quality machine built to last. So far, I’ve had zero issues, and it has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this washer to anyone looking for reliability, performance, and great results. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made!

Older Ge washer was having balance issue, tho it still could somewhat work, decided to finally get a newer one and went with this one after researching a good washing machine with this budget. Had issue with water leaking at bottom, but upon further troubleshooting , i just needed to tighten the drain hose better and unrestricting the outlet a little more so water could exit easier fixed the issue. Then started putting it to work washing several laudnry and it ran great, not too loud, and clothes were pretty clean and finished alot quick, i like the ability to select the fill options, the glass lid was a game changer to actually see how my clothes were doing. I like that it has the agitator similiar to the older model which fit my checklist. Overall im enjoying it, would recommend. 

I was extremely hopeful and excited when making this purchase, especially since I'm a cloth diaper mama. I liked that it has deep fill/water level control, so many load control options, and a large drum with an agitator. However, I just dont feel this washing machine does the best job. For example, our 12 year old son is in sports and I can still smell his body odor in the armpits of one of his shirts after it's been washed.... everytime! I even went as far as purchasing tide pods with Oxi bc maybe I'm not using enough detergent (since you dont need much) but no. That wasn't the issue! Not to mention, I have sensitive skin and cant do these heavily scented detergents. I'm not overloading the machine either so I just don't know. The auto sense water level will have dry clothes sitting on top of the water, even after the machine is finished, so I'm always using deep fill (which is only available with some of the wash settings). I'm not sure how that's an effective clean if the clothes aren't even wet. Our son also slipped in some mud and it took a few washes to get it clean but there's still a light stain... even tried shout. My old kenmore WOULD NEVER! I'm still trying to get my cloth diaper wash routine down also and its been over a month since we received the machine. They're getting clean but figuring out load size and detergent amount has been a struggle! I can't get the manual for just my machine either which is kind of annoying as I was looking for cleaning instructions as well as the control/settings info. It gets the job done, I guess, but I considered returning it each day before the window closed and wish I would have just gotten a refurbished kenmore. They don't make washing machines like they used to. I like that it has the glass top so I can see the clean/agitation and that I can open it unless its spinning (although I wish it would continue washing when opened). I like that you can delay the wash (up to 12 hours) if needed, it comes in handy when you have to leave but want to let the water heat up before running a load. I like the soak/extra rinse, deep rinse options as well. I really wanted to love this machine but it fell pretty short. Hopefully I can figure out the best settings to get an effective clean but at this time, I would not recommend this to a friend who's looking for a new machine.

There is so much that I love about this machine. I love the way it looks. Its sleek and I like the buttons. I love that I can make my own choices about temp and water height. I love that I can look through the lid and see what’s going on. I love that it’s soft close, no more slamming for us! I love that it spins well and greatly reduces the amount of drying time. I love that its easy to keep open and it doesn’t smell. I love that I can add things as its filling. I love that it has deep fill and a my cycle feature. I love that it has an agitator and for the first time in a long time, I feel like my clothes are really clean. i love the soak and extra rinse cycle. I love that it has drain and spin. I love that it agitated my clothes so well and didn’t tie things in knots. I hate that the lid opens in a way that gets in the way of the buttons. Why open up?? I hate that it takes a LONG TIME for it to stop spinning and unlock the door. so if you have a balance issue, it takes a while to get it right. I hate no matter how you save your my cycle, the load size always reverts to “sense.” So if I save it as a max size load, when I push my cycle again, it turns it to sense. I hate that I cant use sanitize cycle and choose the water level. I hate that the senser does not use enough water. I hate that every time you open or close the door it sprays water. So if I open it at the end of a cycle and I decide I would like an extra spin to get jt “good and dry,” when I close the lid and press drain and spin, it shoots water twice. About two seconds. Really odd. I hate that I can’t use deep fill on every cycle. Again, I say, there is a lot to love about this machine and I really wanted it to be my next machine for the next 10 years. But these things are making it to where I need to return it and find something different.When I choose a pre-programmed cycle, I should be able to change any one of the options if I so choose. I should be able to choose whatever I want. I hate that the signal is too too quiet! You can barely hear anything when it doesnt make a peep when its changes cycles (if you want to put softener in the middle of the agitator for the rinse). I will also say that I went from stackable to top load and I did not consider how much space I would lose for storage of my drying racks (we do a lot of air drys for our tall ppl clothes — which is why I LOVE an extra spin!) and other laundry accessories. Thats my bad though and in no way is a fault of the washer. All that to say, I’m going back to a front loading stackable.

Works great, goes off balance A LOT. Still trying to find the sweet spot of what this washer can handle. But it cleans great and isnt too noisy. Overall Id buy again. Great deal!
