    Doesn’t wash bulky items well. Tends to always be unbalanced and errors out. Also didn’t realize at first there’s no timer to know how long it takes to wash.

      We'd like to assist with our new washer's out of balance occurrences. It’s extremely important that the washer is properly leveled and all 4 leveling legs are firmly on an even floor space. This will help to reduce out of balance occurrences during the cycle and ensure quieter operation. Additionally, it’s important that the tub is loaded evenly, with the weight of the load equally distributed. Unbalanced loads can cause increased vibration, and therefore, cause the washer to move and/or be louder than normal. This model can wash bulky items like blankets and other bedding; however, you may need to add additional items to the tub so that an evenly distributed load can be achieved. You can find instructions on proper loading, leveling, and additional troubleshooting at the article titled “Top Load Washer – Wet Clothes Concerns” on the GE Appliances website. GE_Appliances

    The washer cleans the clothes and the extra spin cycle helps with less dryer time. The only issue I have is that no matter what button or setting you have it on it does not let you put more it than half full of water. So big comforters are not completely under water.

      We appreciate your feedback. High Efficiency washers do not fill like the old models of the past. Most of the water will be absorbed by your load and won't be standing above the level of the clothing or other washables. For your comforter, choose the Max - Water Level, Bulky wash cycle, Deep Fill and Deep Rinse options. Bear in mind, the drain and spins cycles at the end will remove most of the moisture saving you valuable time and energy by not needing to dry the item as long. If needed, the online Owner's Manual is available by clicking on the Features Tab, scroll to the end of the Features List to locate the manual. -Vikki@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    My old washer stopped working and I had to find something fast. Luckily, Best Buy had a top-loader that was easy to use (not too many buttons!) I find that no matter what cycle I use, the clothes are done well.

      We want to help you with the sound level of your washer. We recommend checking that all 4 of the unit's legs are properly leveled. If needed, you can adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. You can find additional information in the article titled "Top Load Washer - Wet Clothes Concerns" on the GE Appliances website.

      If the issue persists after troubleshooting, we recommend reaching out to our Bodewell service team at 1-833-426-3393 to schedule an appointment.

      Additionally, although this model does not have an Energy Start rating, you can find more information regarding the energy consumption of this model here: https://files.bbystatic.com/33ddHiU%2F1ldR6EoK6ZK4Sg%3D%3D/GTW485ASWWB-energy-guide.pdf GE_Appliances
