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.

Bought this two years ago and it is still awesome. Great performance and excellent value for the price. You can set water level as desired. Quite and efficient with large capacity. Would buy again.

After having it for a few weeks, this seems like a pretty solid choice. The tub is quite large - it will easily hold blankets or quilts. In fact, it's deep and we are short so it's a little bit of a stretch to get things at the very bottom. There are a lot of cycle options, most of which we'll never use - you may find need for them. I like the ability to select extra rinse and extra spin after the wash, which can really be helpful.
Things I do not like (the reasons for the loss of a star in the review):
1. The lid locks during fill, so we can't add the liquid detergent and rinse the cup or easily mix it with the water around the contents.
2. There's a 10-second delay after starting a cycle before the fill begins, which constantly makes me wonder if the machine is broken (it isn't)
3. The knobs and dials are "soft-select", which means that everything behind the panel is controlled by extra electronics instead of just having a multi-select knob. Maybe I'm just showing my age here.
Overall, you'll probably be happy with this one. It's not perfect but it's a good choice unless you are extremely picky or have very specific requirements.

For a top loading machine, it was one of the few that I could adjust the water height. This machine is as quite as my 5 year old Samsung front loader. It seems to do about the same amount of laundry per load. Based on being half of the price for a front loader and should last as long or longer than the previous washer, I think it is a bargain as long as you don't need the latest and greatest.

I have been using this washer for a year now and it worked perfectly. So much better than the previous washer of another brand I had that had lid lock issues. So nice to be able to lift the lid and add items without having to restart the machine.

This is a basic machine that works well and runs quietly. The 5th star goes to the incredible personnel at the Northtown store and exceedingly professional delivery teams. I had to return the first one - it didn't spin to empty and held water. The store rep coordinated the fastest replacement possible and the delivery team replaced it and hauled away unit #1.
This experienced reinforced my decision to direct all appliance purchases to Best Buy. I have purchased from an independent store, as well as a home improvement store and both were really bad decisions

Always gets my clothes super clean. Lots of water selections so can customize every load. Love the physical agitator as I have dogs and one of those newfangled high-efficiency washers never got their blankets anywhere near clean but This One Does!

Love the big tub and the many options you have for different types of clothing. I can wash my comforter now which I could not do in my previous machine. I am also glad I purchase a machine with an agitator.

We love it so far. Learning all the cycles and features. Everything comes out nice and clean. Some reviewers said it is noisy but ours is no noisier than our old washer. Definitely a great buy and great washer so far.

I’ve been looking for a product not made in China and I’ve come across GE washers that were made here in the USA. I bought my GE 4.5 cu ft Model GTW465ASNWW two months ago and I am very happy with my purchase.
It has a Deep Fill feature if extra water is needed. I used it only once because I’ve selected Medium load on a large load of clothes.
Occasionally I’ll handwash some clothes and I like the Drain & Spin feature that will high spin to extract water from wet items.
Of course, it will make noise but I’ve not experienced the loud noise that other GE owners were complaining about.

I bought this for my son and his fiance in Sandusky, OH! They live about an hour or more outside of Knoxville, TN - and delivery was still free! They couldn't say enough about the delivery men. They were very careful with everything and stayed until the washer went through a complete cycle. It's hard finding customer service like that. They love the washer! They're not used to having so many options, or knobs vs. buttons, and they love the agitator! Overall, it was a hit!

Not really a fan of digital appliances as I feel like there isn’t as much control as a standard machine. I love the large basin and agitator like an older machine so I feel like my clothes are being cleaned well. However, it seems like it is ultra sensitive to the clothes being unbalanced during the spin cycle. But when it cycles through without any problems the extra spin cycle is useful in getting most of the water out before drying them. The separate spin cycle tends to do its own thing, sometimes it just spins other times it will start the whole washing process all over. I dunno. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Large tub with lots of options (water level, temp, load size, speeds and agitation). Seems to struggle at times with bulky blankets and bedding (with weight distribution) but I can easily open the lid to manually balance the load.

It’s ok for price but too loud… makes many noises throughout wash. Easy to operate and many options can be a plus. Size is great is great for large loads. Love 2nd rinse and spin to get clothes clean and soft.
