Best washer ever! I researched them a long time so I wouldn’t make any mistakes and this machine has everything I need and more but it is not complicated to use and cleans my clothes perfectly! The default cycles are great but everything can be customized if desired very easily. I love being able to pour a whole bottle of detergent into the reservoir and let the machine decide how much soap to dispense depending on the size of the load and even that can be altered if desired. This is very nice when other family members do their own laundry and think More is Better. I didn’t think I would use the phone app but it’s nice getting a 5 minute warning that the wash will be done, then another alert that it’s ready, and the best part is it sends a reminder about 30 minutes later if you forgot to take the clothes out!!! Genius! Buy this one and you won’t be disappointed!

Biggest selling point (in my opinion) is the Microban technology used in the door and the detergent drawer. Where our old washer used to require almost constant cleaning to prevent moldy buildup, this washer has yet to need anything more than a wipe down with a dry paper towel. Running the vent cycle after each wash is easy - just hit play after emptying contents and walk away. So far there’s no complaints with noise or performance. Also, the satin nickel color looks amazing in person. This washer is compatible with the SmartHQ app and easily connects to your WiFi network. The app sends push notifications, which is convenient if you’re waiting on a cycle to end and in another part of the house and unable to hear the noise notification the washer makes. We purchased both the washer and dryer and opted for the professional installation around a month ago and so far couldn’t be happier.

Love my new GE washer / dryer set. We originally purchased the LG 4.5 cu. washer/ dryer set (12 cycle washer) and I just could not get used to not seeing water in my load. So disappointed. It was almost waterless! Fortunately we decided to change it for the GE 12 cycle front load and dryer combo- best choice we could’ve made! The control panel is easy to read (not so with the LG model) and the washer has a light when you open it (not so with the LG model). Also love the feature that allows you to fill up the detergent tank with 50 oz so you dont have to pour detergent for every load. Has so many features that I have yet to use. The smart app is also another great feature... again works even better than the LG model. A little bit more difficult to connect the first time but once you get it, it works great. Highly recommend this washer/ dryer set.
