New GE Dryer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had some issues with the initial delivery of the dryer being delivered broken. So for over a week we had the washer, but no dryer. Everyone at Best Buy’s provided excellent customer service as far as apologizing and trying to get us rescheduled for delivery of a new dryer as soon as the next delivery could be made, but the fact that the dryer was delivered to us broken was a bummer. We were supposed to be hearing from the managers after the delivery but we haven’t heard from them yet. So far we like the dryer but I have had to add time to the cycles a few times because the clothes are still damp. It may have to do with the fact that the dryer uses steam on some of the cycles- and we will have to learn which cycles are best for what we are needing don but it’s a very nice dryer and it fluffs the towels for you, which was unexpected by nice! It’s very efficient, quiet and allows us to do more laundry in a much shorter amount of time. This dryer also has a wifi feature that I don’t need, but love that I have it! It sends messages a few minutes before the cycle ends, once I is completed and again 30 minutes after the cycle ends. So for someone like me who gets distracted working on other things and ends up forgetting clothes- that won’t be an issue. The app also allows you to start and stop the dryer. I also love the reminder features. This is a wonderful appliance so far. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars was due to the delivery issues, but it’s helping my family stay caught up on laundry and that is what’s most important!

GE Steam dryer- the right decision.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reviewing several larger capacity washer and dryers and ended up purchasing the GE Power Steam dryer. This dryers efficiency took some getting use to.( my old one was 16th a old) It dries in a timely manner. I love the power steam dewrinkle mode to get out the tough wrinkles. I have yet to explore all the different drying features this has to offer. One of the perks is that it does connect with my phone to tell me when the laundry is done. I guess done are the days of forgetting laundry! Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It came in at a good price point for us for the features it had. We also went with the dark blue- which compliments our house.

GE Steam Dryer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had this dryer for about 3 weeks and it's been great so far. Like the stream to dewrinkle the loads that I can't get to right away and the alerts through the app are nice so I don't have to keep checking up on it to see if it's done. Only con for me is the buttons are super sensitive so if any part of you're body is within 6" it will activate a button so just double check your settings before hitting the start button. Best Buy delivery and set up were great, just wish they would've had the 7" pedestal's in stock with the set cuz now it says I can order but they won't install them which makes no sense at all that they can come in my house with the W/D to install but not the pedestal's???

GE Washer/Dryer Fan For Life!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We absolutely love this washer/dryer pair! we have had GE washers/dryers for almost 20 years now and I feel like they are the best out there. Reliable, efficient, and even pretty! GE for life! AND Best Buy had the best prices out there and were easy to work with for scheduling delivery. I am very pleased with them since we made the choice to upgrade from our older (15 years old) GE pair just to get some new features but I was scared to let them go but our new ones are fantastic and will be just as loved!

Kinda pricey but great quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dryer is great! Very quiet, lots of options for different cycles, and tons of space inside. Was a little expensive overall, I think there are better options if you’re on a tight budget, but it’s definitely good quality!

Q: QuestionI noticed “Washer Link” on the GFD85ESPNRS GE 7.8 cuft dryer. Is it possible to use the control panel on the washer to control the dryer? If my wife uses the dryer when stacked on top of the washer it will be difficult for her to reach the dryer controls.
Asked by Justin.
- A:Answer Kind of. When washer link is selected, for example, you select bedding on the washer, the dryer will automatically be set to bedding. So with washer link selected, whatever setting you use on the washer will be automatically set on the dryer. I hope that makes sense.
