    Best washer with agitator & efficient

    My main goal for a washer is clean clothes without any extra hassles. I don't want to have to worry about mold, soap buildup, and smell that many of the new washers have unless you take extra precautions to do extra rinse cycles, air out or wipe down. After much research, it also seemed that washers with agitators got clothes cleaner & were a lot less expensive. The disadvantages were they were harder on clothes & they were not as pretty or modern looking. My clothes were fine with my old washer & the new washer is much more gentle than the old. Both old & new have cycles for hand wash & delicates when needed. This one is really quiet, too. There is not a large selection of agitator washers but this one being energy efficient seemed to be the best choice to get my clothes clean, hassle-free!

    This washing machine has a very large, stainless steel tub. Extremely quiet, but very efficient. We have children who do their own laundry and this machine is very user friendly. The automatic fill setting is a plus and takes the guessing out of how much water should be used per load. The spin cycle is super efficient and has really helped in reducing the drying time. Overall, a great product.

    We bought this model after going through two Maytags in the last 10 years. It's definitely the quietest washer we've ever owned. There are more options than I think we would ever use. The controls are easy to understand and knobs operate smoothly.

    We had an older washer that was on its last days. This unit appeared to be a good price point for us with all the basic features we need. It is quite, and cleans well all our clothing items.

    I have only had this washer for about a month. Cleans clothes well. It is quieter than our old washer was but could still be a bit quieter. Fits perfectly into the limited space we had. I would recommend this washer to anyone.

    I had my Kenmore set for almost 20 years ( talk about getting your moneys' worth! ) until my neighborhood was flooded. I had no idea how difficult it would be to choose a new set. I went through so many reviews and really didn't want a GE product or a HE washer. I did like the capacity and it was one of the few you could still choose the water level. It had become so tiresome looking I figured if I didn't like it I would just send it back. I love it ! It does take a little longer but I'm not the kind to be standing there when it stops anyway. The spin cycle is wonderful. It cuts down on drying time. If I was any shorter (5'6) though I'd need a step stool to get the clothes out :) I have not had any problems with the lid locking. Who's kid is getting stuck in the washer?!? I did get the extended warranty on my washer, not the dryer.

    We had a Whirpool H.E washer prior to this machine, This washer out performs the H.E Anyday. I love the agitator in it. Now i've heard people say how noisy this machine is.. Compaired to my H.E, This machine i can barely hear running vs my whirpool where it sounded like it jet air plane taking off! So hands down this machine is by far one of the best so far that i've owned. Washes well, has a autofill feature on it which i love as well.

    Good washer - just a little louder than expected

    We've had this washer now for a few months. I will say that it's been good so far. We have used the 'auto sensor' for the water level and haven't had any of the issues some people described (clothes not wet). For us, it's worked out great. One of the biggest changes we noticed was how dry the clothes are when the cycle is done. We can dry an average load in 50 minutes - whereas before we had to dry them for 70-80 minutes. The spin cycle on this washer is certainly better than our old machine. It is louder than our old washer. When it starts to spin, you know it. Our washroom is next to our living room, so it's quite noticeable at night when we're trying to watch TV. However, we've since gotten used to it and barely notice it now. Visiting guests do wonder what is trying to land in our backyard. Overall - we're very pleased with the washer. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is for noise.

    I bought what I call a middle of the road washer and it has turned out to be the best washer I've owned. The tub is more than sufficient to wash my comforter and instead of taking 3 loads to do my laundry it only takes 1. Woohoo! The washer is also very quiet. Worth the money.

    I really like this washer. I bought this to replace an older high efficiency front door washer. I love that this machine has an agitator and the ability to soak clothes if I want to. You can also manually adjust the water level if you choose, although I've found that the automatic setting works perfectly and no adjustment is needed. This is the only machine I could find that has an agitator and is energy star rated. It's the best of both worlds. There are some slight noises, but they are nothing compared to my last machine. I am very happy with this purchase.

    Wonderful washing machine! It's very quiet and has a very large capacity. Combines two loads into one and fills up our clothes lines faster. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced large capacity washer.

    I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECCOMEND THIS WASHER TO ANYONE. IT HAS ALL THE OPTIONS THAT I NEED AND A FEW THAT I DONT USE BUT ITS NICE TO HAVE THEM IF NEEDED. ITS VERY QUIET AND WITHOUT AN END OF CYCLE WARNING ITS VERY HARD TO KNOW ITS DONE. I HAVE TO GO CHECK OR PUT A TIMER ON IT. THAT WOULD BE SOEMTHING VERY NICE TO BE ADDED TO MAK EIT AN EVEN BETTER DEAL.

    This is our second GE washing machine. The first one we bought from Best Buy 14 years ago for about $250. Not bad for a cheap-o machine. This one is basically the new version of that same thing with a bigger capacity and more options. So far it's great - quick, quiet, and great capacity. We don't like the front loaders so this is perfect for us. As always, Best Buy was great to work with. Delivery was also very easy.

    I replaced a 20 year old GE washer with this new one. This one's much quieter, more efficient and has more features than the last one. I like it and would recommend it to anyone.

    My husband and I needed a new washer so badly. So we came across this one at the 4th of July sale and knew for the price we couldn't pass it up. It was on back order for two weeks, but once it came in they delivered it for free and took our old one. I love it, it holds bigger loads so we can wash our king size blankets. Has so many different settings, we still have to read the manual to know which one to put it on. Although it does make some strange noises and gets a little loud on the spin cycle. But our clothes have never been cleaner. We are very happy with this purchase!
