    I have had the machine for about 2 months and am very pleased with my purchase. I chose this brand for the longevity and because it had an agitator. Too many people I know miss the agitator in their machines! No issues with how the clothes come out, even the blankets, comforters, and sheets. It does a good job of sensing the load and not overfilling it with water. The noise level is not an issue and cycle choices are plentiful. It is easy to use. I am still in the process of trying out more options, but so far this machine is a great choice.

    I read many review and made several trips to Best Buy before I decided on the GE washer. I had a conventional top-load washer before. That machine had a small tub and limited capability and capacity, however it got clothes very clean. I have had the GE for a month now and am very pleased with it. I also purchased the companion dryer. The good news is, with all the different cycles, I can have a load (depending on the type) washed and dried in an hour. This I feel will result in some electricity savings. Obviously, the new HE washers use little water. The only negative comments I would make are 1) some clothes do not get rid of dog hair, I presume due to the little amount of water and 2) it would not accommodate memory foam bathroom mats. Since the mats do not fold easily, I decided to get rid of them. Overall, I have been very happy with both the washer and dryer. Both machines have many cycle options.

    The washer cleans so well because of the agitator. The clothes come out smelling so fresh and the stains lift easily. I love the various settings that allow me to really customize each load. It is a little noisy at times, but since we keep our machine in the garage, it doesn’t bother us. If you want old school cleaning power with today’s modern touches, this is the perfect washing machine for you.

    When our Kenmore washer started to make noise and continuallu=y stop because the clothes became unbalanced. We decided to replace the machine with another only this time we wanted a washer with an agitator as we felt this was the problem with our Kenmore. We needed a black washer to match our Kenmore black dryer. We are very pleased with the new GE washer.

    We bought this washer as a family of four as our old washer gave out. This washer makes laundry fun again. I can’t tell you why, but watching the washer wash my clothes brings me joy. It sings a cute little tune to you when it’s turned off / on. The settings are simple. The door opens quietly and doesn’t slam or hit anything. I thoroughly love this washer and the load size is great as well. It’s quiet overall & a quick cycle. I’m still amazed.

    I had to get a new machine as it was going to cost almost as much to repair my four-year-old Maytag. I got this wonderful GE as an open box machine. It has a couple of scratches on it, which doesn't bother me. I got it for a terrific price, it was delivered in two days and it's the best washer I have ever had. Clothes are clean, it's easy to use. I am completely satisfied. Thanks so much, Best Buy!!!

    Great washer! Gets the close perfectly clean. I wasn’t sure about the HE machines and how they use low water levels, but this one does a great job! I love the window on the lid so I can keep an eye on the close if I want to, and I really like the detergent dispenser. This washer holds lots of clothes and is easy to use.

    I've had my new washer for a few weeks now and am very happy I chose this machine. I love having the agitator as I feel it truly makes a difference in getting my clothes clean. This machine gives the option of adding 5 extra gallons of water when needed. I really like that feature.

    GE washing machine. The dual-action agitator, deep rinse feature and auto-soak function’s very nice! The preprogrammed stain-removal settings simplify difficult jobs. This GE washing machine has a soft-close transparent glass lid to let you visually check the status of the wash cycle. The glass is very nice, but it’s hard to see how the cloths are washing, or to check the water level without a flash light.
