Q: Will bestbuy reverse the doors on this washer during installation? If so what is the cost for this service?

A: I need mines done and they told me that it was a separate charge. I m not sure as to how much. I am still waiting on a response. They owe me credit and sent installers that stated that they don’t do it. And when I call I am on hold forever.

Q: Can this washer handle a king size alternative down comforter?

A: I am able to wash a California King comforter in it. I use the bulky setting and throw two tennis balls in as well. I know when I was told to do it, I laughed and questioned it as well. The tennis balls prevent lumps, Good luck.

Q: Does this, and other front loaders, offer "additional water" for 1. washing and 2. Rinsing?

A: This washer does have a more water button. The amount of water used does vary based upon the wash cycle too.

Q: Can laundry detergent pods be used in GFW550SSNWW

A: Hello, thank you for your question! Yes, you can use detergent pods in this washer. We recommend that they be added to the drum, not the detergent drawer. We also recommend you follow the pod manufacturer's instructions to ensure they are being used properly. We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. – CV

Q: Does either of the mating electric dryers to the GE-4.8 Cu. Ft. 10-cycle or 12-cycle washers offer an optional "side-vent" for the exhaust hose to minimize the depth dimension? Is the dryer depth dimension also 32"?

A: Hi SpacedOutQ1 - Yes! GE® 7.8 cu. ft. Capacity Smart Front Load Electric Dryer GFD55ESSNWW and GE® 7.8 cu. ft. Capacity Smart Front Load Electric Dryer with Steam GFD65ESSNWW are both 32" wide and offer 4-Way Exhaust (Rear; Right; Left & Bottom). We’d love to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

Q: Can you stack these with a kit?

A: Hi Mega, thanks so much for reaching out. Yes, the Ultrafresh washers and dryers can be stacked with one another. They actually have a unique stacking kit that they use. The part number for that kit is: GFA28KITN. Hope this helps! Best wishes. -Michael@GEA

Q: Will this fit through a 28" opening? My door is exactly 28" wide and this washer's specs say it is 28". Will this be too tight of a fit?

A: Hi Jamie - Thanks for viewing GE Model GFW550SSNWW! This washer will not fit through a 28" opening (Dimensions: 39 3/4"H x 28"W x 32"D). If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue

    The UltraFresh System is Amazing

    Our new home has a laundry room with upper cabinets above the washer and dryer. This isn't an issue with the dryer as I'm not sure there are dryers which are top load. But it was a major issue with the washer, which is top load. And the washer/dryer combination we had really didn't good a very good job cleaning or drying our clothes. So off to BestBuy to see what has changed in front load washers since the last time we had one. The last time, we had one, the seal around the door got moldy and never dried out. This washer from GE is a major step up in front load technology. GE has built in a system they call UltraFresh Vent System with Microban Antimicrobial Technology. When you finish washing a load, you touch a button and the system runs to dry the seal and drum, so no mold or mildew can ever form. It's incredibly quiet, but it can run for a few hours, depending on the type of load you washed before turning it on. GE makes this machine in 4.8 cubic feet or 5 cubic feet. For the size of our laundry room, the 4.8 CuFt model was the best option for us. We can wash really large loads, so I'm not really sure if we would have found any benefit to the 5 CuFt model. The only other difference between the two models is the larger model has a large reservoir for liquid detergent, so you don't have to add laundry detergent each time you wash a load of clothes. Otherwise, this machine is quiet, does an amazing job of washing our clothes and with the UltraFresh Vent system ensures you won't ever get mold in the door seal as is so common with other front load washers. I have to say we're quite impressed with this washer from GE and expect to get years of use from it.

    Excellent Washer

    Excellent washer with very large capacity. Some reviews are pretty negative for this product which may not reflect on the actual product as it could be due to operator error or non-related product operations (ie delivery). The only thing I can possibly agree, is that the washer may be on the loud side when it is in the spin cycle, but still way more quiet than my previous. My only negative, it’s a little on the pricier side, but worth the purchase if it’s in your budget. Also these appliances are very large & tall, so if you stack them, you may find operating the top appliance might be out of your reach, if you are on the shorter side. My wife asked me to un-stack. To the best of my knowledge I purchased the matching dryer (GFD55ESSNOWW) and in my opinion the dryer door should have a metal ring to match the look of washer.

    Amazing washer!

    After an exaustive search for a washer and dryer I wanted to get a relabile american made washer and dryer. The Samsung and LG has great machines, but from what i read they are a nightmare to fix. I have american home sheild and there are very fiew repair companies that fix them. I cam from a kenmore set that worked great. There are a couple of features I really like. The washer can hold alot of cloaths. I have not had any issues, and it finishes each load with no issues. I love the mircoband rubber. I know that is a huge issue with front loaders. The spin cycle is amzing. Holey crap does it do a good job. When I do towels I have to peal them off the drum. As a result the towles dry fast! The vent features is nice. Its nice when you forget to leave the door open. The wifi control is great! I love getting the notifications on my phone when its done! Only con honestly is the cycles are kind of loud. And spin cycle is loud. But those are first world issues that I can live with LOL You will be very happy! Enjoy!
