  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: White
    • Product Height: 43 7/8 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 27 7/8 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Depth: 28 3/16 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Capacity: 5.3 cubic feet
    • High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
    • Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
    • Washing Mechanism: Agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
    • Agitator Type: Single-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)
    • Washer Load Type: Top load
    • Matching Dryer Model Number: PTD70EBSTWS and PTD70GBSTWS
    • App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

    • Maximum Spin Speed: 800 revolutions per minute (This is the maximum spin speed of the tub in the final cycle. Higher revolutions per minute (RPM) will remove the water out of the clothes more quickly and effectively which can reduce drying time.)

Q: What does the 10-year Limited Warranty cover, and how does it provide peace of mind to consumers?

A: The 10-year Limited Warranty covers the replacement of the motor if it fails due to defects in materials or workmanship. During the additional nine-year limited warranty, consumers are responsible for labor and related service costs. This warranty provides peace of mind to consumers by ensuring that their washer is protected against defects for a substantial period.

Q: What smart features does this washer offer through SmartHQ, and how do they enhance the laundry experience?

A: This washer offers several smart features through the SmartHQ app. You can use voice commands to set the washer to handle tough stains or specific fabrics. You can also remotely control and monitor your laundry, receive status notifications, and download additional cycles. These features enhance the laundry experience by providing convenience, customization, and better fabric care.

Q: How does this washer meet or exceed federal guidelines for energy efficiency, and what are the benefits of being ENERGY STAR qualified?

A: This washer meets or exceeds federal guidelines for energy efficiency, earning it the ENERGY STAR qualification. This means it uses less energy than standard models, resulting in energy and money savings throughout the year. Additionally, it features the Enhanced Smarter Wash Technology, which optimizes cleaning power and fabric care while minimizing energy consumption.

Q: How does the Sanitize with Oxi cycle remove bacteria and enhance cleaning power?

A: The Sanitize with Oxi cycle removes 99.9% of bacteria in laundry by using an Oxi additive along with detergent. The Oxi additive boosts the detergent's cleaning power, providing enhanced stain removal and disinfection. To use this cycle effectively, add clothes first, then place detergent and Oxi product directly on top of the load.

Q: What is the purpose of the Tangle Control feature, and how does it minimize tangled loads?

A: The Tangle Control feature in the GE Profile 5.3 Cu Ft High Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer adjusts the wash action to minimize tangled loads. It does this by adapting the wash cycle to reduce tangling, potentially increasing the cycle time. However, this feature is not available for all cycles.

Q: What is the Deep Fill feature, and how does it provide customization of water levels?

A: The Deep Fill feature allows users to customize the water level in the washer. By pressing the Deep Fill button once, users can add 3 additional gallons of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible, but this will increase the cycle time.

Q: How does this washer compare to other top-load washers in terms of capacity, efficiency, and features?

A: This GE Profile washer offers a 5.3 cubic feet capacity, making it larger than many other top-load washers. It is also highly efficient, meeting or exceeding federal guidelines for energy efficiency. In terms of features, it stands out with its Smarter Wash Technology, which optimizes cleaning power and fabric care, as well as its Microban Antimicrobial Technology that helps prevent odor-causing bacteria growth.

Q: What is the purpose of the Power Pre-Wash cycle, and how does it effectively clean heavily soiled items?

A: The Power Pre-Wash cycle is designed to effectively clean heavily soiled items by adding a brief wash, soak, and drain cycle before the selected wash cycle begins. This pre-wash step helps loosen and remove heavy soil, ensuring a thorough clean for heavily soiled items.

Reviews

Customers are saying

Customers praise the 5.3 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer's cleaning performance, noting that clothes consistently come out clean. However, some customers report that the washer can be quite loud during operation, particularly during the spin cycle, and may require adjustments to maintain balance. The machine's tendency to be noisy and unbalanced detract from the otherwise positive cleaning results.

    So in love!

    I love this Washing Machine! I definitely don’t use all the bells and whistles on it though, I treat it more like just a standard washing machine and it works fantastic. It is a large capacity which makes washing things like blankets & snow gear a dream.. My only complaint is that the Lid is a little flimsy, my first one ended up with a crack on the gray inside part of the lid from not getting the clothes in all the way. It just continued to crack every time I would open and close it. I do recommend paying for the Best Buy warranty because they just replaced my whole washing machine after having to wait a little while for OEM parts.

    So far, so good!

    So far, so good. My only issue is that bulky items do cause major imbalance. Maybe I just don’t know how to load correctly. But I love love the tide pod section of the detergent dettings and my clothes has been cleaned just right.
