Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the 4.5 cu ft Top Load Washer's cleaning performance, large capacity, and ease of use, frequently praising its spacious tub and the inclusion of an agitator. However, a significant number of customers reported that the washer is quite loud and that the spin cycle could be improved. Some also mentioned issues with the washer's balance and occasional reliability problems. A few users expressed concerns about the lid lock feature.

    If I could give this washer zero stars, I would. Do NOT buy this washer! It is extremely loud during all cycles—able to be heard throughout the house. During the agitation cycle, it sounds like an extremely loud flock of geese honking. During the spin cycle, it vibrates, shakes, and walks. I have never been so dissatisfied with an appliance in my life

    Purchased both washer and dryer after our 20+ yr old washer starting having bearing noise. Best Buy delivered on time and installed. These units are extremely loud. Louder than the washer with the bearing noise. We kept for a day and exchanged for LG machines which are very quiet.

    I purchased a Washing Machine & Dryer on 6/1. It was installed on 6/6. I started having problems with the Washer 2 weeks later. Of course now Best Buy wants nothing to do with it. Had to contact the manufacturer. It's 7/4 and my Washing Machine is still not fixed. I will never Buy Household Appliances from Best Buy. Worst Expect EVER!!!!!!

    machine extremely noisy during fill cycle. It makes a grinding noise that stops when the wash cycle begins. We made efforts to get used to it but decided to exchange it. The second washer has the same problem. We are deciding if we want to return and purchase another brand.

    This washing machine is nearly impossible to use. It has absolutely no Rhyme or Reason and hasn't successfully completed a load of wash since I bought it. If it's not dumping my soap and water down the drain without washing anything, it's not spinning the clothes. I've Had The Geek Squad out here once and they seemed to have it working but didn't stay the hour it took to wash the clothes and I just continued having more of the same problems.

    The machine gets the job done. I chose this machine because i wanted dials. The wash cycle makes a ridiculous "squawking " sound as it agitates.......is that really necessary? Repair man said that is the way they sound.

    The machine works great however I wish I would have purchased it from a different vendor. Since purchasing this washer I have received several marketing emails from Best Buy. I have tried the unsubscribe link multiple times for over 4 weeks and the junk emails keep coming. This will be my last purchase from Best Buy. Extremely disappointed Jamey Born

    Had to return washer. Thinking I got a unit that was defective as with the wash and spin cycle the drum banged loudly at the sides. The clothes continually went to one side of the drum and I had to keep repositioning it to get the cycle done. I know GE is a good brand but was not happy with the washer. I got a speed queen washer instead. Paid a little more but it performed great. Made in USA!

    The last 2 washing machines that I purchased were both computerized and both computers went bad at the end of 2 years. The cost to repair them was about $600 each so I disposed of both of them. This washing machine was less expensive and does not have a computer that goes bad because of the constant moisture.

    The worst ever!!!! I purchased a washer and dryer there was a manufacturers issue the movers took the dryer back to the store I told something would be done about this( discount on another set) nothing was done and it took 2 months for a refund to return to my card. Cooperate was ridiculous didn’t help at all. And then they tried to send me the exact same set. No Thank you. If I can’t hold it my hand I won’t purchase from here.

    This machine does not spin laundry dry. Clothes that finished a cycle still remain soaking wet. This was listed in others reviews. I should have paid attention. No clue what to do about this item. It has been 90 days.
