Customer Ratings & Reviews

Exceptional performance as washers go. Haven't any issues so far so good. Simple and easy to use. Perfect choice for a family of five,not complicated or fancy. We wash our blankets (regular/light weight) and towels without any problems. All in all a great choice and a great price.

Works amazing, very very happy with this buy! Not too big and not too small, not noisy and it works so smoothly. I couldn’t be happier!

It works great and is easy to use and is pretty quiet. The onlynissue we've had is lint on dark pants.

The good: You are able to select water level (Low, Medium, High, Max) although some reviews say that each of these levels depends on how much clothes you have in the machine. I always fill it while no clothes are loaded, to see how much water is in there. For normal loads, I use Medium with Deep Fill. (If I use High without Deep fill, there is too much water--not enough friction to clean clothes) You are able to create warm water for washing clothes (for example, 90 degrees F), by first filling about 5 minutes with HOT, and then switching to WARM, but I believe you must press START/PAUSE after switching to WARM, and expect 15 seconds of cold water to pour in right after you close the id, before it actually starts pouring luke-warm water. There's a comparable Maytag machine for sale now, and according to the reviews, you can't open the lid to see how much water is being used. So I’m glad this GE allows me to do this. The Bad: VERY STRANGE settings. For example, In order to get a warm temperature for colors, I fill it on HOT for 5 minutes, then switch to WARM. But I have to press Start/Pause twice, otherwise it doesn't switch. If I close the lid, after closing, every time it pours about 15 seconds of cold water. (This is stupid) Then it switches to the setting that I chose. Other Quirks with the Programming: 1. If you change water temperature during filling, sometimes it changes, and sometimes it doesn't. I think/hope it will be consistent if I press Start/Pause twice when I change temperature. Why would I want to do this? Because "WARM " is not really warm. It is 50 or 60 degrees F. The manual says that modern detergents are designed to wash in cold water. Well, that's a lie. I have tried it. It doesn't work. 2. Sometimes when you open the lid, water continues to fill. Other times, the water stops. I haven't yet figured out why it is not consistent. 3. Drain and Spin sometimes fills the machine again. The manual doesn't tell you this, but if you want to Drain and Spin again, you must have OPTIONS set to OFF, or EXTRA SPIN" otherwise it will rinse again, defeating the purpose. 4.Fabric softener doesn't dispense evenly when you put it in the middle hole, as instructed by the manual. So, when it switches to RINSE, I pour fabric softener into the water, over the clothes 5. Does not get enough water out of the clothes during spinning. Usually I do “Drain and Spin” an additional time. 6. Not possible to select "EXTRA SPIN" when you are using fabric softener. So if you want to get extra water out of clothes, you have to do Drain and Spin manually after the wash cycle is complete. 7. If it's set to HOT and you open the lid during filling, and you close the lid, it fills with cold water for about 15 seconds and then switches back to hot water. This is a strange quirk 8. The owners manual says to put detergent on top of the clothes after you load them. However, the quick reference guide says to put detergent in the bottom of the tube before loading clothes. (They should not tell you opposite information) 9. Precise fill is not acceptable for colored clothes because it pours very hot water on some colored clothes, and this can fade bright colors. The lid is locked during filling, but after filling is done, you can open the lid and feel the water. Every 6 inches around the circle, the temperature is different: very hot on some clothes, very cold on other clothes. 10. I called GE twice and emailed once, trying to determine if my machine is defective. They all said I should get a GE technician to check my machine. However, from past experience, I guess the technician would say there is nothing wrong. My point is: the GE people on the phone should know about the quirks that I described above, but they don't. Specifically: Drain and Spin starts the RINSE cycle unless you have OPTIONS set to OFF or EXTRA RINSE; and: Water pours in cold in the first 15 seconds after opening/closing the lid, even if the setting is on HOT. The techs on the phone told me this means the machine is defective. I almost returned it, but I was concerned that the replacement machine would do the same thing. So I kept experimenting and figured out that these quirks are probably normal. My recommendation is: Write down your settings for future reference; also, how much water is in the tub, and how hot the water is. There are many possible combinations of settings. What you write down should include: "Did I open the lid?” “Did I press Pause/Start?” These minor details make a big difference in the temperature of the water that pours into the machine. Also, note how deep the clothes were, and how deep the water level was, so you’ll know for the future, which water level setting to use. Some people complained that the sounds were like a sick duck or a cow giving birth. Well, if you want a machine that plays Glory Hallelujah, you're in for a disappointment. This machine is not loud. And mine did not vibrate and walk across the floor as some other people said it did.

It's efficient and nice looking. Best part it has an agitator in which moves the cloths around. Cleans well.

This is easy to use and holds so much!! Great for a family and holds up well!

Display of functions very basic and easy to use. Load capacity is also great.

I like this washing machine. It runs quietly. The clothes come out clean, but it seems to become unbalanced easily if you run it on precise fill. So I don't use that setting.

Love the basket size, the washer is Noisy. I love the speed wash. Please be carefully when washing bathroom rug, the washer machine was not balance, and made a lot of noise.

So far so good! I got it around Thanks giving. It is a little loud, but it cleans much better than my previous washer that did not have an agitator. However, my wife washed our pillowcases and the agitator tore them up.

I'm use to the old-school washers with the agitators. After much searching I decided on this washer and I don't regret my selection. Easy to use, many options and it has an agitator. I would recommend it.

It has been really easy to use my kids are able to use it. It let you know the min it stops because we dont always here it stop but with the sound it make we know when its done. Our clothes comes out very clean.

This washer has been working great for us. Has many different settings and has more room for bulk items than i expected. Only thing con i would say about it is that it is a little bit loud but i dont mind.

Great washer at a good price. This washer is great for larger loads and bigger blankets. It washes clothes really good and everything comes out clean.

Great wash, ease of use. Little loud but bearable.

I bought this appliance to replace a 20 year old GE profile washer that I was very happy with, but that was on it's last leg. The washer is easy to use (not overly complicated) and is works well washing the clothing. It is also attractive, however, it is very loud! I'm not sure why it's so loud. It's is almost a deal breaker for me. The current climate for appliance purchases has been difficult with low inventory and long wait times so available options were limited, but I would not purchase this model again due to the very loud operating mode

I really like the basket size. It can do a big load with no problem. Auto water size adjustment works nicely and I like the various sizes. Good selection of washing styles from heavy duty to delicate. Extra rinse choices nice to have also. Only disappointment is that it doesn't have an auto detergent dispenser and detergent is either put in before loading clothes on on top of them. This was the top of the line GE top loading machine at Best Buy, so it may have been an older model. It has been 2 months since I purchased this washer and I have noticed that the GE models at Costco have a dispenser.

Great machine, leaves my clothes cleaner than I’ve seen in years. The tub is deep and I’m short but that does not present a problem. Love the extra settings designations - jeans, towels, sheets, etc. All in all well worth the price.

The Washing machine fits well in the space and cleans everything from socks to rugs. No problems! Oakdale appliance rep. was very helpful. she answered all our questions and more. The delivery guy talked me through the installation process advised me about keeping the drain hose in the wash sink.

I love this washer. It is a bit loud but we don’t mind it. It gets clothes clean and that’s what matters to us.
