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.

    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.

    I owned my first one for 18 months and the spin cycle went out. I do 1 to 2 loads of laundry a day. Due to limited laundry area I do not have much choice. So I purchased a second one. Within 11 months the washer drum started to squeak. Thinking this washing machine may be for those who do a load of laundry every other week.

    Our choices were limited because the space was limited and most washers on the market are wider than our space allowed. Down side was the price was a lot more than washers with nearly twice the capacity.

    Electronics dont work the way I need. Cant look inside without cycle emptying and staring over. Doesn't clean good. Hard to set for what I need. Set one button an the other settings move to what you dont want. Very frustrated. It leaks. You cant start it an forget it. Very noisy. I really thought this was going to be a good machine.

    I love my washer the only thing is that I have an apartment and it hangs out the closet door, other than that it’s perfect. Please read before purchasing.

    The washer was delivered four weeks ago without all the working pieces. Three Saturdays wasted. Over $100 spend at the laundry mat.

    I dislike this machine since my machine is not filling up enough water. Also some features don’t seem to be working. I had no choice since my enclosed space could not fit the standard machines which are around 27 inches. I miss my old Maytag

    Washing machines, like BigMacs have gotten bigger. This was one of a few machines that fit in our laundry room. The tub, without agitator, holds a surprising amount of clothing. Two things: It is louder than our previous machine ( Fisher/Paykel) and there is no way to change spin speed.

    Great Washer, Horrible Delivery

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This washer is compact but fits the same size load as my previous washer, which was inches wider and deeper. It automatically senses the amount of clothes inside, so the water level is appropriate with nothing wasted. It cleans effectively and is simple to use. However, the man who delivered the washer and installed it was extremely rude, to point of snapping angrily at me and yelling, when he was the one who made mistakes with the water valves. I recommend the washer but not buying it from Best Buy.

    Too Large To Fit Through A Bathroom Door

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The most important piece of information concerning this washing machine was misquoted, by the vendor specifications, at the store where I bought this unit. A 2.1 cubic foot washer is the best compact available, and of course is unavailable so, given no other option for something that could fill enough to properly wash a Queen comforter, I purchased the new, GE 2.8 cubit Foot top loading washing machine, thinking it was the next innovation. I assumed, based on specs, that the washer was slightly taller, with a slightly deeper basket, resulting in a 2.8 instead of a 2.1 cubic foot load capacity, as widening the machine would be madness. Given that the width of door frames in the average bathroom in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s built apartments, condos and houses was between 24 and 28 inches with the 24 inch door size in very common use, more common than the other two options, it would make no sense to produce a compact or portable machine that had a width precluding use. This unit is 24 inches by 24. 5 inches, with no wiggle room. Even with the door to our bathrooms off their hinges, this machine would never fit in any of them, so back in the box and back to the store this went. The specifications have been updated, where I purchased this, again, 24 x 24.5, and hopefully the same thing won't happen to anyone else, however, for anyone looking at this machine, please be advised that it is too large to fit through any bathroom door in our house, built in the 1970s and, after measuring at a friend's 1960s home we found their doors also measured exactly 24 inches, with about 23.3 between the door frame stops on either side. Given that a 23 inch machine is the maximum that can fit through what was, for decades, the standard bathroom door size, this machine is simply not workable unless you are using it in a large, standard size washing machine slot in a garage or laundry closet and, if you can fit a 24 inch machine with a low 2.8 cubic foot capacity, you can probably fit a standard 27 inch machine, why bother with a machine that washes so much less and doesn't fill enough to wash a large comforter? It just makes no sense. I can't recommend this for anyone seeking a compact washer, as a 23 inch width is about as wide as it could be in order to be considered compact, for use in a bathroom with a sink hookup. I also don't recommend this for anyone seeking a washing machine who can accommodate a larger size washer, such as a 27 inch, because the capacity on the 27 inch GE washer far exceeds this and that washer comes with a functioning Deep Fill button, as of 2019. With any luck, someone will design a 2.5 or even a 2.8 cubic foot washer that utilizes a slightly taller tub in a thinner housing of 22 to a maximum of 23 inches, so that I can finally replace my dead Haier 2.1, which was so useful for so many years. I hope this helps you in your search.
