LOVE IT!
Im absolutely in LOVE with this Washer! I also have the matching dryer. My set is also on Pedestals I highly recommended on getting Pedestals saves your back from stooping. Also I was made aware that this dryer and washer are very very heavy have it installed makes life 110% better! It washes amazingly it has a more water option if you feel you might need it I use it on pillows. It's very efficient and is super quite for the most part washers are definitely a tad louder than dryers. I do have 3 cons- CON #1 it can be a bit odd sounding on start up like the drum needs to re align/ clear the pipes it kinda makes a weird grunting sound ill try to get a video up on Tik-Tok within the next 24 hrs. (4-2-22 or 4-3-22) @sweet.n.sassy, I will also feature the matching dryer as well if you wanna hear it. CON #2 Im not hundred percent sure that just cause it says its using the ultra fresh venting system that its actually working mine just beeps qt the vent area till.its done and then it shuts off but I do leave my door open/cracked when its not being used cause we all know front loaders can get a funky smell. CON #3 Some spin cyles start off a tad rough till it balances but Inalso think that can be fully normal so it dont bother me.

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.

Quiet
It’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.
