A:Answer Hi Zen - Thanks for considering GE Model # GTW840CSNWS! Yes, you can load/unload the washer with the lid at 70/75 degree angle. The soft Close, glass lid uses hydraulic technology to allow the lid to open to various angles, then close gently every time. This design is great for tight spaces where the lid may be blocked by a shelf or cabinet installed above the washer. We’d love to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
