Quiet
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Cleaning quality, QuietIt’s very quiet and convenient. It measures your laundry to determine the amount of water to use. Just a turn of the dial and a very light touch of the start but it’s ready to go. I am still learning the machine. When I wash jeans, I just turn to the bulky section of the dial and my clothes washes quite nicely. And a detergent filler, so that you won’t put to much detergent in it. For me....it’s a huge change from the top loaders and all that knocking during the spin cycle when washing jeans.

Ultra Fresh Vent System is great!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Cons mentioned:Door, PriceDoes a good job but it’s loud on spin. If I had a laundry closet and not a room I think I would be annoyed. Loudness is probably due to the door not being flush (vent system and the ability to switch what side the door opens in), and that the washer doesn’t sit flush in the pedestal. That’s a bad flaw especially as much as the pedestal costs. The vent system is great! Washer is dry as a bone when it’s done.

Excellent Washer
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Loading capacityExcellent 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.

Good washer, bad installers.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this washer for a couple of reasons. First, because of the Microban material used in several areas of the washer. After a several years of use on my previous washer, I noticed mold or mildew forming on the gasket and possibly in other non visible areas of the washer. Microban is supposed to eliminate the mold/mildew formation. Second, it's made in the USA. By no means it's a second grade washer. My spouse said it's quieter than our previous washer that we had for nearly 14 years. Now here's the bad think. I bought this from Best Buy because I want delivery and install. This washer is heavy and I don't see myself doing everything from hauling away the old washer and installing the new one. I used Best Buy to install large TVs in my company offices throughout the country and they've always done a very good job. On delivery day, two young gentlemen showed up early morning, removed the old washer, installed the new washer and hooked up water and drain hoses. I trusted them as I believe they installed hundreds of washers and dryers. A couple of days later, I found the washer moving a few inches away from its supposed location in the garage. After inspection, I found that the leveling feet are missing. The washer is shaking a lot during rinsing and that's the reason why it moved. I watched the youtube video and sure enough the leveling feet are missing. I contacted GE and provided the model and serial number to get replacement leveling feet but no response from GE. Best Buy said they used a third party for delivery/install and I didn't get the names of the two guys who did the job. To sum up, I like the washer but not very happy with the installers.

Asked by Brett.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionJust got washer 7.12.20. Did a normal load using tap cold temp and did not over fill washer. Once finished went to put clothes in dryer. Some clothes soaked and some clothes barely wet, why? This never happened with my Kenmore front load washer.
Asked by Malcott.
- A:Answer I got my machine on 7-8-20 and have not had this problem. I would have the service people come back out and check it. Did you overload the machine? My problem with mine is they didn't balance it and it threw my detergent to the floor which broke and left me with a liquid soap mess all over the garage. they are coming tomorrow to fix it.
