Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the 4.5 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer, particularly noting its quiet operation, effective cleaning, and user-friendly design. The large capacity is also appreciated, along with the inclusion of an agitator. However, some customers have reported issues with the spin cycle noise and the machine occasionally going off balance, with a few mentioning water leaks.

    "max" fill is only 1/2 so if you need to wash something bulky like a bedspread, you have to wash the bottom half, pull it out, turn it upside down and wash the other half. It walks across the floor & I'm afraid it's going to pull the hoses out. Auto fill doesn't work at all - the top 1/2 of your clothes are dry

      This washer has the following water level controls: Auto, Low, Medium, High, and Max. If the water level is not changing on your water, we encourage you to ensure that your water connections are fully on. If this doesn't help, please schedule service by calling 833-426-3393 so our Bodewell technicians can ensure your unit is working properly. -Kacie@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    DO NOT PURCHASE! The machine looks great but washes clothes poorly. They remain smelly and stained. You cansee the clothes stay in their same spot as they wash. The deep fill doesn’t actaully fill the tub. Do not waste your money. BEST BUY switched the machone out without issues.

    Never had a chance to use it. Best Buy installation crew was extremely unprofessional, to the point I had them take the machine back and bought the same one from Home Depot for a cheaper price and the delivery and installation went flawless.

If you would like to discuss your install service experience further, we would suggest contacting bestbuy.com customer service department at 1-888-237-8289, or calling your local store.

    I can't give it more than three stars, the clothes are wet after spinning, and it moves and sounds very harsh when spinning.

    Having to wash a load twice in order to get clean clothes is ridiculous. Bring back the old fashioned top loaders. This high efficiency stuff is not getting the job done.

    GE Top Load Washer

    This unit was very loud. The water levels were not automatic and the soap and lint remained on the clothing after the rinse was complete. It also did not thoroughly rinse so the clothes were heavy with too much moisture.

      We appreciate you letting us know your experience with this washer. There are sounds you can expect to hear from your unit. We recommend viewing the article on our GE Appliances website called "Top Load Washer - Normal Sounds" to get a better idea of what to expect. If there is detergent left on your clothes, please ensure that you're using the correct amount of detergent. Too much detergent can cause residue to be left behind. You can also run a "Rinse and Drain" cycle to ensure that your clothes get spun out fully. If these tips do not help, please schedule service by calling 833-426-3393 so our technicians can fully investigate. -Kacie@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    This washing machine stops if the clothes inside are not balanced. It's stupldly difficult to clean anything bulky beacause it eventually gets more fabric on one side and then stops. Don't buy it.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback. Your new washer may sound different from your prior unit because of the newer technology. Clicks, flowing water, gear sounds followed by pauses, and electric hum sounds are all part of the normal wash cycle. For more details, please review the support article on the GE Appliances website titled: "Top Load Washer - Noises Heard During Agitation." If you believe the noise you're hearing is abnormal after reviewing the article, we recommend scheduling a service appointment for one of our Bodewell technicians to assess your unit. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at: 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393), Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET, Saturday – Sunday: Closed. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances
