Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the compact size and surprisingly large capacity of this 2.8 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Top Load Washer, noting that it cleans effectively despite its small footprint. However, some customers reported that the washer is louder than expected and that the spin cycle could be improved. The lack of an agitator was also mentioned as a drawback by some users. Overall, the positive feedback on cleaning performance and size outweighs the negative comments regarding noise and spin cycle.

    I have very limited space for my washer and dryer. It compares to a closet. Finding something so small required a custom order. It is very small on the outside, but has amazing space internally. I love the fact that there is NO agitator to have clothes get hung up on. The installer said it runs on magnets. I have yet to research that, but he works for a plumbing business and was super impressed. I love it and am very happy with Best Buy for finding it for me!

    Flimsy lid, cheap drawer, deafeningly loud –beware

    Bought this compact top-load washer because I needed something that would fit in my small washer/dryer area of my home. Got it delivered and installed this morning… and after only three loads I’m already mad I didn’t return it on the spot. The lid is an absolute joke. It’s a super thin, flimsy piece of plastic that folds in half like a cheap laptop screen. Every time I open it to put clothes in or take them out it flops around, gets in the way, and feels like it’s going to break the first time I sneeze on it. Super clumsy and awkward – worst lid design I’ve ever used. The detergent/softener drawer is even cheaper. It sticks, barely slides, and already feels loose after one day like it’s going to fall apart. Looks and feels like the kind of plastic you’d find on a $49 toy, not a several-hundred-dollar washer. Noise level is ridiculous. On the wash cycle it sounds like a tractor, and when it hits spin it rattles and roars so loud I can hear it clearly in the next room with the door closed. I work from home – there’s no way I can run this thing during the day without headphones. For the price (just under $1,000), this thing feels like bottom-of-the-barrel build quality. It cleans fine so far, but everything you actually touch and hear every day is cheap and loud. Wish I would’ve spent a little more and gotten something that doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart in a year. Very disappointed – if you’re on the fence, keep looking.

      We'd like to help out with the door, dispenser, and with the sounds you are noticing. We recommend checking to make sure that your washer is completely level to the ground. This can help with the sounds that you are noticing, when the washer is not leveled it can cause the unit to spin out of balance and cause excessive vibrations. You will want to ensure that you are loading the washer evenly, for optimal performance. The best way to achieve a balanced load is to load dry items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads. For additional troubleshooting, we recommend viewing our article titled "Top Load Washer - Noises Heard During Agitation" located on our GE Appliances website, in the support section. For the drawer and dispenser not feeling secure, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our Bodewell service team, by calling 1-833-426-3393. GE_Appliances

    As someone with a small laundry room this machine is a great fit. It may be smaller in dimension but has a good amount of capacity. The design of the lid is ideal for laundry rooms or spaces that have over head cabinets. Glad that at least one name brand makes this machine and that Best Buy has it available.

    So far this washer is great, cleans the laundry. I would have given it 5 stars, but, the softener dispenser blocks up all of the time, and does not dispense the softener.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. Deep Rinse should be selected when using fabric softener.
      Liquid fabric softener/conditioner should be added to the right side of the dispenser drawer. Follow the liquid fabric softener/conditioner manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of softener/conditioner, based on load size, taking care to add softener/conditioner to the right compartment. Do not overfill or dilute softener/conditioner as this can result in additive
      being dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. If you continue to have this issue, please call Bodewell, our service team directly at 1-833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET to have your washer evaluated and repaired as needed. -Vikki@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Big complaint is it ties the clothes, sheets into a ball. With no agitator I would think it would be gentler on clothes but I had to untie the sheets and put on another spin cycle because they were still soaked. Shirts get twisted into each other. Only bought it because it replaced 15yr old same model in a small space.

    This machine has large drum for such a small washer. It has as many features as washer washers twice its size. I am amazed at how well it cleans ...I think it does a better job then the commercial machines we used at the laundry mat.

    Washes fine but even with loading everything around the sides to make your own invisible agitator, the agitation still might send a large item to the middle. A front loader would be better. It is hard to get the detergent and softener compartment all the way out and back in.

    I've had this machine for over a mouth and I'm very pleased. It fits in a small closet in my apt. that has a machine hook up. The tub size was surprisingly big for such a small machine. Overall I'm very pleased that I selected this machine.

    I spent so much time finding the right size for a small space and this fits so well. However, I have had constant issues with it. No matter the load size the balance seems to be thrown off. I have a water valve issue now. It's very slow to size up a load and actually start.

    Love it ! Better than my old frontloader which was about 4.3 cubic feet. This ge top loader is just a little smaller. Fits nice size loads of laundry. Don’t let the 2.8 size fool you! Can get a lot of clothes in this little machine. Very happy with it.

    Due to our limited space available we had limited options concerning washers. This washer fit into our space perfectly, and has the capability of handling the big loads of any other washer. Dont be deceived by the smallish exterior....the barrell inside is massive enough to handle your king size comforter.

    This machine washes well but is very noisy. It makes a buzzing noise during the spin cycle. Beware if you have it inside your home. Not quiet at all.

    It's different. Does not have the agitating spinner in the middle. Washes by up and down movement of the water.
