My old stacked laundry center in my condo from 2006 finally gave up and would have been $800 to repair with all the parts that were worn down over the years. It gave up at an inconvenient time, and while this GE unit is slightly larger, it still fits in my closet space (barely). Being that it's the holidays, my local Best Buy couldn't offer a delivery date earlier than Feb 6, so I opted to pickup and install myself with the help of a couple people. In addition to the GE washer/dryer, I bought the vent kit from Best Buy, and went across the street to Home Depot to buy the power cord since Best Buy was out of stock. Having never done this before, installation was surprisingly straightforward. Turn off the breaker to the dryer outlet, turn off the water supply, unplug old dryer, disconnect the supply hoses, pull out the old dryer a bit and disconnect the vent hose and drain hose. Removed all the packing of the new unit, installed the new power cord, installed the vent duct on the back of the unit and then reconnect everything. This is minimum a 2 person job though, as the unit weighs over 200lbs.
Onto the unit itself. I'm currently washing its 2nd load and all is going well. The wash cycle is a bit noisier than the unit it replaced, but not horribly so. I can live with that as it gets the clothes much cleaner than my previous unit, and has more wash options. The dryer is pretty quiet, I was pleasantly surprised. The lint trap is in the door, and easy to access by sliding off the cover. All in all seems to be working great, but time will tell. If I remember, I'll update this review as time goes on.

The dryer works great. It dries my clothes quickly, but it does not have a sensor and/or to alert you that the clothes are already dried. You have to keep an eye on drying them. However, the washer works great, but it it a lilltle loud, but I dont care as long as the washer works great. You can wash your large thick towels and thin blankets and dries quickly. I had a 110 volt dryer before but it does not last long and takes a long time to dry. This is why I chose this laundry center. It is large enough to do most of my washing. At my condo. The only thing I cant do is wash a big thick comforter or dry cleaned clothing. Overall love it very much without the extras.

Better than I thought it was going to be! I wanted the larger size but had to go with this one. It actually has a really good capacity for both washer and dryer.
I am still getting use to how it operates; I really need to read the manual. The one thing I don't care for is that I can't run the water and load the clothes at the same same time. However I understand it has a auto water level feature. Also it is a bit loud; not sure if I would have noticed it if it was not in the reviews.
Over I am happy with this purchase!

Designed for a novice

I've had this washer/dryer for 18 months. Here's what I've learned.
This machine is designed for a user who has never washed their clothes before and has no idea how to do it. You cannot specify how much water to use or what washing cycle to run or for how long. Instead of letting you specify those things, this machine asks you what kind of clothes you're washing (whites, colors, delicates, 'casual?') and how dirty they are, and then it does whatever it thinks is best.
It uses as little water as possible (to earn a "water saving" rating?), and doesn't add enough water to even cover the clothes. Instead, it apparently sets the water level according to the weight of the clothes you put in, so if you want it to add enough water to submerge your clothes, you have to put them in soaking wet. If you want it to fill the tub to the top, you have to tell it the clothes are 'Bulky'.
You can trick it into filling the tub partway by doing this:
- set it for the clothes you're washing (whites, colors, etc.)
- after it fills a bit, push the Start/Pause button
- move the wash cycle dial to OFF for a moment
- then move it to BULKY and push the Start/Pause button again to start it
- it will resume filling the tub
- when it fills to the level you want, push the Start/Pause button to pause it
- again move the wash cycle dial to OFF for a moment
- then move it back to the wash cycle you really want
- and push the Start/Pause button again to start it
This approach may be great for a novice, but for an adult who already knows how to run a washing machine, it can be very frustrating. You can still set the temperature of the water, however.
I've used this machine for 18 months. Mechanically, it seems to be solid and sturdy. The washer is fairly quiet, especially on the spin cycle.
The dryer is also quiet. However, it lacks a buzzer to alert you that it is stopping and you should remove your permanent press items asap. This used to be a standard feature on all dryers; on this one you have to buy an add-on gadget to get it.
Pros --
quiet, both washing and drying
dryer lint trap is easy to clean
Cons --
no ability to specify how full to fill the wash tub -- you have to trick it
no indicator showing you how far along the washer is in the wash cycle
no alert when the spin cycle stops because the load is off balance
no alert when the washer is finished
no alert when the dryer is finished, telling you to remove your permanent press items before they get wrinkled

I had to purchase a unitized washer dryer to replace the one that broke down. This was the I my one that fit and that was in stock so it Could be delivered Immediately, so I didn’t really have a choice. That being said, it does what it is supposed to do. Three negatives - Controls
Could be simpler and More intuitive, Lint tray is awful design, and washer makes weird noises when operating.

The machine works and is simple to use. Its a lot smaller than I thought. I know people with other stacked laundry systems that are capable of larger loads. I wouldn't put a full comforter in this machine. I washed 3 towels and a throw blanket and the machine was knocking like crazy. Still, a great machine for everyday loads but I wouldn't recommend it unless you only have space for stacked system and can't afford one with larger capacity. I think this machine should cost $1100 tops.

My washer/dryer unit is working great. The capacity is quite a bit larger than the Whirlpool that it replaced. The delivery was right on time and they did an amazing job making sure everything was perfect before they left. The unit is a little noisy but mine is in a laundry room with a door so I don’t hear it.

Purchased the electric version for a condo and it is the perfect size. Have had for 2 years now and no issues to date. This unit is energy efficient and compact. Not loud but I do try to not run during late night hours as a courtesy to the downstairs neighbors.

This is a finely engineered washer/dryer which has high capacity loads. Automatic drying cycle! However, it is very noisy at should Only be put in a separate room, as it makes many loud noises. So, if you have a separate room-this unit is for you!

I had to get a new washer dryer, a smaller dryer for my unit to accommodate for the space, this washer and dryer duo is a Dream! It is fast and efficient and gets everything super clean really fast. Better than the unit I had before and way my effective! This was my second choice but I am so glad I went with this one!

I had a hard time finding a stackable washer/dryer, but this one has turned out to be a good option so far. The washer capacity is bigger than I originally thought. There were some hiccups with delivery/set-up, but it was eventually resolved and the washer/dryer has been performing well thus far.

This machine cleans very well leaving my clothes smelling much fresher than they did with my front loader. The dryer is also fast and dries thoroughly so that I don't discover damp clothes hours later. It holds much more than you would think for the size. We have 4 kids so I am constantly running it, and it has worked very well for us thus far.
The only negative I can think of is the number of options/features. It is non "fancy" but I think if you are looking for a solid washer and dryer that gets the job done, this one is a great choice.

The washing machine is the perfect size for a small washroom in a condo! The only issue I have is that I can’t fit my comforter in it and also when drying clothes the lint catcher doesn’t capture it all so you have to sweep a bit each time you pull out your dry clothes

I just purchased a house and the laundry room is downstairs. So I had a hallway closet converted into a tiny laundry room. The Top Loader is 23 inches wide and after taking off the trim board in the doorway, it fit in there perfectly. It does a fantastic job washing.

Straight forward setup. Works as intended. The only thing I would upgrade is the lint collector and the manual settings.
