Ive had this washer for a little over 3 weeks and it works great. It is a little loud but worth it for how clean my clothes come out. I love that there is a agitator and I love the size of the drum. I have mine set on max water level, extra spin.

I’m really impressed with this washing machine. It’s very easy to use, quiet, and has multiple wash settings that fit all my laundry needs. Clothes come out clean and fresh every time, and the spin cycle does a great job of removing excess water, so drying takes less time. The size is perfect for both small and large loads, and the design feels modern and sturdy. Definitely worth the purchase—highly recommend!

We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the cleaning performance that the GTW485ASWWB offers! The durable, built-in, Dual Action Agitator provides better circulation and turnover of clothes to achieve a deep clean while being gentle on your clothes. Make sure you take advantage of the Wash Boost feature that boost the wash performance of any cycle by adding an extra 15 minutes of soaking power for stubborn stains or more powerful agitation for heavily soiled items. -Don@GEAppliances

I originally bought a LG set from Sam’s and it was defective… so I went back to where I have always purchased my electronics for years. BEST BUY!!! GE is known for having top products that my family and I have purchased for years! I love the simple turn knobs. I don’t like the new electric push butttons because if they fail you would need a tech to come out to fix it. I simply wanted a wachine machine with knobs I can turn not push. I didn’t want a glass top because things drop on them. I wanted the old style washing machine and I found it! The machine is only loud the first time. I myself love to hear my clothes washing. The machine quiets down also if the bottom is adjusted properly to even the washer on the floor. I love the new style also. I purchased it for $521.99 and so grateful to catch the sale. It allowed me to at least try it on a budget but it’s a keeper!! This is THE ABSOLUTE BEST WASHER EVERRRRRR!!!!!

So far so good. I love that I can open the machine without it locking me out. It holds a lot more laundry than my previous washer of the same dimensions. The quick wash is faster and cleans as well as the quick wash on my old machine. My only minor complaint is that I wish I could add “power” and add extra “soak” on the same load, but it makes you pick one or the other. All in all, a great washing machine for the price.

This washer has been amazing! It handles big loads easily and gets everything super clean. The deep fill option is great for bulky items, and it runs quietly. Controls are simple to use, and I love the modern look. It feels sturdy and well-built. Highly recommend if you want a reliable, no-fuss washing machine that works really well.

I've been using my GE washer for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s quiet, efficient, and does a fantastic job getting clothes clean. The cycles are easy to understand and customize, and I love the modern design—it looks great in my laundry room.
One of my favorite features is how fast and thorough it is. Even with large loads, everything comes out fresh and well-rinsed. It’s also very gentle on delicate fabrics while still being powerful enough for towels and bedding.
Highly recommend this washer to anyone looking for a reliable and high-performing machine!

We bought this washing machine to replace a 12 yr old Samsung. At first, I had planned to purchase another Samsung. Once we read reviews, we realized people were having the same balancing issue we had at 11 yrs at 1-2 yrs into ownership. I researched extensively and ultimately wanted a washing machine with an agitator. This machine had that, was affordable, and had the main functions I wanted. It is not “fancy” and high tech like the Samsung, but I actually like it better after owning it for 9 months. It’s been reliable and really cleans my clothes well! I can fit a king size mattress easily or tons of clothes with no problem. I’m hoping it will last us 10 yrs. I will stick with this brand as long as it continues to clean well and be efficient.

After 14 years and many repairs we replaced our old Sears GE with what is the modern version. I like the metal hinges. Many people complain about the noise but my old one sounded like an airplane, this one makes half the noise and since is in the laundry room we close the door and doesn’t bother us. So far so good.

THE WORSE WASHING MACHINE EVER! $$WASTED!!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
The WORST washer we've EVER HAD !!!
This washer is terrible. Not only is it incredibly loud compared to other washers we've owned but it squeaks and sounds like it going to fall apart ! Sometimes the clothes aren’t cleaned good like my old washer that I had for TWENTY years
The worse part is it ends up in the middle of the laundry room floor !!
(See photo). Only showing one picture but it happens frequently.
It tore through the door of the laundry room where it was enclosed and messed up the door! Losing balance frequently and Best Buy was TERRIBLE and NO help . Sent us to the manufacturer who came out and told up to only leave it on autofill and it would help . WHAT are the other settings there for then???
Left on autofill but Didnt help much at all and now I’m stuck with this horrible, expensive washer !!
Do not waste your money on the piece of junk and I will not buy from Best Buy again .
Terrible customer service should have chosen Amazon or another company I guess . and I guess I will call the manufacturer out AGAIN and waste more time dealing with this washer . Beyond disappointing!!! Now I’m stuck with this thing !!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The delivery was done very easily installed my washer and took the old. I did have to call the delivery person back because I unbalanced the washer when I tried to put the hamper back between the washer and dryer. I called delivery person back and he told me I had to reschedule another delivery. So I called back and had no problem rescheduling. A delivery person came back and put the hamper back in place and readjusted my washer. Everyone was very helpful. I was totally impressed by there kindness and quickness very satisfied with the service.
