    Very quiet / very good value for the cost. We also received MidAmerican Energy rebate check because of energy efficiency.

    This washer performs as expected and gets my clothes clean, has capacity for comforter, but it makes a lot of weird, loud noises because of the type of motor I guess. Aside from the washer itself, I had the most negative shopping experience of my life, after nearly a decade of all electronics related purchases coming from Best Buy, it is coming to an abrupt and unexpected end. Nothing about this purchase went smoothly and when calling customer service (and speaking with a supervisor) with hopes of feeling better about the purchase and the company, instead they basically told me that they didn't care about any of the issues that I had or about keeping me as a customer, and that they weren't going to help me in any way. I am not sure what has happened, but I have never been treated with such disrespect in my life. I am not exactly thrilled about having to find a new home for electronics purchases.

    This is a replacement washer for a Kenmore that we have had for about 15 years. This washer provides enough flexibility and features to meet our needs without a big price tag. So far, it has performed very well and seems to be doing a great job a cleaning our laundry.

    This machine was purchased because our 4 year old samsung broke down. We did not want another drum machine as I did not feel that it cleans as well as a machine with an agitator. I am really pleased with this new machine and am able to get my white clothes clean again.

    Does a great job cleaning clothes and has lots of good settings for water temperature and agitator and spin speeds plus types of clothes, sheets, jeans, etc. GE states this is their quietest washer ever and that might be true for the "wash" cycles (I've never owned a previous GE washer). The agitator and wash is quiet. It makes the sound of someone slowly sawing plastic pipe with a hack saw. The rinse and spin cycles however are extremely noisy. The user manual states you will hear the "motor ramping up". It's more like the sound of a Navy F-18 taking off from a carrier. Our three cats now see us taking the laundry basket toward the washer and they all hide in closets and under sofas. We fear the day the washer ever goes out-of-balance; it might rip the house right off of the foundation.

      Hello Hiker11823 - this is Nancy at GE. Thank you for your feedback regarding your washer. Please check that the shipping rod has been removed. It would be at the bottom right side of the washer if you are facing it. If it has been removed, and your washer is very loud in the rinse and spin cycles, we recommend contacting GE Factory Service at 1-800-432-2737 for assistance. Thanks for choosing GE! GE_Appliances

    Overall very satisfactory, has all the features I need and came a decent price. Delivery got a bit skewed but installation was easy. It does NOT have an end of cycle noise which is a pain if I forget...

    I purchased the GE because my previous washer died after only a year and a half. Love the GE! It's surprisingly energy efficient and gets my clothes clean with less water. Love the HyroWave agitator - very quiet and for a more reasonably priced machine it has a lot of extra features.

    I got this washer as a replacement, with my Geek Squad warranty, after my one year high efficiency samsung washer kept breaking. Its a good washer, it does the job very well. Its a washer that is between the old and the new washers modela they sell now in the stores. It has a lot of features. What I like about is that it is energy efficient and that it has the precise fill auto load. I had it for the past month and its doing the job. Dont get a washer without buying an extended warranty with it!!

    Has many of features of more expensive washers. Perfectly acceptable for price. If close to a living area, expect unusual bumps and clanks as it goes through the wash cycle. No reason to pay more for fancier controls, etc.

    Purchased this washer to replace an older Maytag. For the price this washer has plenty of features and cycles. The Hydrowave Agitator is a great feature because it gets clothes clean! The washer is quiet but revs up to what seems like a super sonic speed and gently slows down to a complete stop. The water sensing feature is also nice because it saves water! I love the gentle/delicate cycle, 2 spin mode, and multiple water temp settings.

    Not as deep as most full size washers and fits in my limited space. My old washer (also a GE) lasted 18 years before it quit. Had to replace it and this is one of the only ones that would fit. Have used the washer for 5 weeks. Had trouble getting clothes clean until I followed the advise of GE Customer Service: (1) select “Super” load size; select “Power Rinse;” and (3) press “Pause” once the water fills to let the clothes soak for a while. These new style washers definitely work differently and you have to learn how to use them. Hope the washer lasts as long as my last washer.

    This is a good, functional washing machine for those willing to pay for additional perks. I really appreciated the hand wash and delicate cycles which saved me time from doing them myself. I was struck by how quiet the machine was, so I couldn't hear when the cycles were finished. The only (slight) downside was the cycles took a little longer than my old machine, but given the efficiency of my new machine, I can certainly live with that!

    The automatic load selector allows to wash any size load and not waste water, and it has the largest capacity load. Got it at a good price too.

    The washer is great for the money. The tub is very large. It can handle a couple of blankets easily. I wish I knew when it was finished washing. The auto fill choice for water level doesn't work well; it always over fills. Also, the auto fill disables to ability to open the lid and put detergent, softener, or close in while it is filling. I do not like to put detergent and clothes and then add the water.

    I have had the product for 2 months now. The washer is quite. It holds large loads and so far seems to be doing a good job of cleaning the cloths. I like that HE detergent is recommended, but not required. The washer has plenty of cycles. I like the auto sensor for the load size so that is reduces the use of water. Would not mind if there was some type of sound to let you know when the washer was finished.

    This washer was a great price.. its supper quiet! Almost too quiet.. so far washes great.. but sometimes gets stuck in the fill cycle and constantly keeps filling and draining water. Not very water saving savy.. but once you restart it like a computer by un plugging, taking the wet cloths out and reloading it seems to work great. Dont swich any cycle modes once you push start or it will get stuck.. its taking some getting used to since my other washer was old school, but good buy.

      Hello DottyB - this is Nancy at GE. We're glad to hear that your washer has been washing great. However, if it is feeling and draining at the same time, this indicates the drain hose is pushed too far into the drain pipe or that the drain hose does not come up a full 30" high before going into the drain pipe. The end of the drain hose has to have air so it will not siphon the water out while it's filling. I hope this information is helpful! Thanks for choosing GE! GE_Appliances
