Stopped working after 18 months
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this GE washer in December of 2023, but by June 2025 it suddenly stopped working. No warning, nothing. Had bought warranty for this product and asked for machine to be repaired. Best Buy cancelled my appointments 7 times in less than one month and my machine was never repaired. Went in person to the store, but was turned away at the door because their team doesn't do repair. Store refused to help me with getting support for repairing my washer. Wasted my time, will not buy again.

Sleek look
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how quiet the machine is. Very efficient with a sleek look. Self venting feature is great!
I would recommend this to a friend Mr.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chime which comes on to indicate washing is through is barely auditable unless standing next to machine. The vent feature is somewhat hard to understand, for example, do you do it after every load, at the end of loads for the day, once a week, etc. If instead, one wishes to simple leave the door open some, is that also okay, since the vent system seems to take a long, long time to complete its cycle.

Amazing but really low to the floor.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing washer with great features but I do recommend buying the Riser that is sold separately because it’s really low to the floor.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Heavy dury washer. 100% recommend this washer machine.
I would recommend this to a friend Great Washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine replaced a very noisy old Maytag. We picked it because of the slight increase in capacity. It works well, isn't too noisy and the countdown closk is accurate. The wifi integration is middling. I do get announcements from Alexa when the wash is done. We don't use the venting system, preferring to leave the door open to dry. Overall, I'd recommend it. As an aside, the Best Buy install service for $29 was well worth it.

Electronics Controls Failing JUST out of warrantee
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buyer beware - Almost $1K on a washing machine that fails in 15 months. Everything was working perfectly and now suddenly the electronic controls have stopped working. There was no power surge, the outlet and all electrical to the laundry room is perfect (everything else was tested and works fine). All troubleshooting and resets have failed. How can such an expensive appliance only be covered for a year? Are they designed to fail so GE can continue to make money selling extended warranties and parts? IF the products are so good, why not stand behind them? I am so disappointed with GE. This is NOT what I expect from such a major brand and I will not buy nor recommend them to anyone.
