Customer Ratings & Reviews

The terrible washer. It stopped working less than a year purchased!

My wife loves it! Easy to use, digital display shows time remaining to completion, clear glass lid very helpful for determining sufficient water level (without having to open the lid), fairly quiet (definitely not as loud as our old one). Only negative is you have to verify sufficient water level (regardless of machine water level setting) after tub fill. Water level has to be above the clothes at the top of the tub. If water level is insufficient, the clothes on the top won't rotate down to the bottom (where the agitator is) and those clothes won't be cleaned. The machine can be tricked into "thinking" it has more clothes in it by wetting some of them, which then adds more water to the tub. Pretty much all of the newer washing machines are being designed to "save water", which in reality, ends up being not enough (to make the clothes rotate to the bottom of the tub where the agitator is).

I’m extremely impressed with the GE 4.5 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer. From the very first load, I could tell this machine was designed with convenience and performance in mind. The Water Level Control and Deep Fill options are fantastic — they give me the flexibility to handle everything from small daily loads to bulky bedding without any issues. The Quick Wash cycle has been a huge time-saver, delivering clean clothes fast without compromising quality. I also love the glass lid, which lets me easily check on the wash without interrupting the cycle. It runs surprisingly quiet, has a sleek White with Matte Black finish that looks great in my laundry room, and overall feels solid and well-built. For the price and features, this washer is an incredible value. I’m very happy with my purchase and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient top-load washer!

I’m so happy with this purchase! It’s sleek, super quiet, and gets my clothes cleaner than ever. I love the different cycle options and it’s easy to use and surprisingly fast. The drum is spacious enough for big loads and it still saves energy and water. It’s honestly made doing laundry kind of fun which I never thought I’d say that! Best Buy made the whole buying and delivery process smooth too. Highly recommend!

Love this new washer. I was a little apprehensive about buying a new washer because I wanted to be in control of the water levels. But this washer is great. IT’s everything I wanted and more. I would totally recommend this washer! GE did great!

I bought a GE Profile washer in 2004 - yes, 20 years ago, and I finally had to buy a new one. In 2013, I had it serviced because it wouldn't spin, and, since it was within the 10-year warranty, the transmission was replaced free of charge (paid couple of hundred for labor) and it lasted until this year. This GE washer had all the features I was looking for: top load, agitator, water control, and glass lid (so glad because it taught me unless you select deep rinse, it just squirts water during spin cycle). There was, however a slight learning curve and I wish it had more "my cycles" (old one had two). Also, two minor issues are: the tone to denote end of wash is too low to hear in another room and the machine always turns on when the lid opens - why when it has a power button?

It is an excellent washer it washer better than any other one i have used in the past. It is at a good price will recomend 100 percent plus you can see how the clothes are washing through the visible glass so amazing.

I like the machices varied settings and the ability to open the lid during the cycles. I also like the ability to completely fill the tub with water. The only thing that I don't like is when the cycles are over and you open the machine, the power light stays on and you have to manually turn it off. Also, I would like a shorter spin time on the shortest cycle to conserve my power as I prefer to air dry my clothes for a while before I put them in the dryer. But overall I am enjoying my machine very much after the nightmare I had of my last machine (Whirlpool) not filling up all the way leaving clothes exposed and not cleaned

It washes really good. It does big loads too. I am so happy to have the glass lid too, you can see whats going on during the wash. Only thing i wasn't given a washer instruction book had to figure out how to use but wasn't hard.

The washer is easy to use and works very well with minimal noise

I've had this washer for about a month now and have used just about all of the settings over that time. First, the washer does a terrific job of cleaning the clothes. The tub has the ability to hold large items such as a comforter. It's located in the basement so the noise of changing cycles isn't that noticeable. However, there are a couple things that I need to comment on. This washer has the fabric softener holder in two locations. One being in a drawer with the detergent bin, the other on the center shaft. Sometimes, if I used the drawer bin, the fabric softener wouldn't be distributed into the tub. So, now I use the bin in the tub. A more disturbing issue is with the machine going off balance very easily. I always put clothes in the tub evenly, but during the start process, the tub will spin briefly as the water is filling. At times, this moves the clothes around unevenly. Fortunately, I only run the washer when I'm in the house, so when this happens I stop the washer and rearrange the load. One last thing to note, the washer is pretty tall. If a short person (like me) uses it it might be suggested to have a step stool handy to reach any clothes in the bottom of the tub. All things considered, this washer is very good. I would suggest it to anyone.

Spent so much time researching washers and looking into all of their pros and cons. Settled on this one sense the most common complaint was noise related. I had a previous GE washer that lasted us 15 years so I thought I'd continue with the brand. Couldnt be more happy with the choice. The noise is not an issue at all. That negative feedback is overblown in my opinion. We start a load in the wash room, close the door and we cant hear it. So its a non factor. Love the washing mechanism. Really turns clothes over with the agitator and gets clothes clean. The only minor complaint that I would have and validate from others is the water levels. The Auto setting does not add enough water and even the manual settings of Medium and such is much lower than expected. We have to wash loads at the High or Max level. Other than that, we are very happy with the purchase. Reliability will be judged in the future so we'll see.

My 25 year old, extremely basic, not water or energy efficient washing machine died. I know new machines - like the impeller top-loaders - use very little water, and I was not a fan. I live in an area with plenty of cheap water, so I didn’t want to sacrifice cleaning ability for a non-problem in my area. I wanted a machine that just filled with water and had an agitator, like the old-fashioned model it would be replacing. The Towels + Deep Fill setting mostly solves the "not enough water" issue. It doesn’t fill to the tippy top like an old machine, but because my old washer was 3.2 cu. ft. and this new one is 4.5 cu. ft., it actually covers my queen-size comforter with more water than the old machine did. I gave the Normal cycle a try - this is the auto-sensing, water saving cycle. To my surprise, it's perfectly fine. For normally soiled clothes (i.e. everyday grime - not something like a mud-covered sports uniform), I actually use the Normal cycle. It only uses a few inches of water and doesn’t completely cover the clothes with water, but they still come out perfectly clean. I’m also using way less detergent because I’m using the dispenser. I can’t really think of any cons to the machine. I guess the lid lock is a little annoying, but every new machine has that for safety. I love the glass lid. Time will tell how reliable it is - it’s only been two weeks. I wanted to get an LG machine with a higher reliability rating (according to Consumer Reports), but it was physically too large for the closet I was putting this in. I bought the Geek Squad five-year warranty, so I’m at least going to get five years out of it.

Bought it a while ago. Works well. No complains. Easy to operate. Quiet.

Washer machine works great and gets clothes clean-ours is in basement so it is quiet and we don’t hear it running!

Have owned this great washer for a month. Replaced a 17 year old washer that finally gave up. I tried another new one, different brand, that was auto only and returned it. This one is so much easier to use and so much more versatile that I just love it and the price was almost the same. This gives full control of everything, and I can set it and leave it alone. My clothes come out exceptionally clean. It's almost as easy to use as my 17-year-old one was. It must be the best one out there because I can't think of anything that would make it better. I especially like the incremental water level feature that lets me add 3 gallons (or more) extra, after it begins washing. I highly recommend this great machine.

I really do love this Washer, However the fact that I've done evrything humanly possible I cannot get it to stay balanced when I'm washing Towels. Then it shuts off without going into the Spin Cycle and leaves me a mess.

Iam very happy with this washer. The sensing feature on filling the machine is one of my favorites. It senses how big the load is before it fills and chooses the right level to fill the machine so I do not waste water. It also senses how many minutes the washer will tkae to complete cleaning the load. It does a great job of cleaning my clothes. I love my new washer and I got a great price on it at Best Buy.

This is an agitator type washer with an auger in the middle. On this washer, the alger in the middle only moves in one direction so the clothes actually get pulled down into the water. Since this washing machine has a glass top, you can actually see how the clothes are getting washed without having too constantly open the lid causing the washer to stop. I would have gave this washing machine 5 stars on value, But the regular price seems a little high for a top load. I also purchased the matching dryer and will be reviewing it with high marks.

My wife and I are enjoying our new GE - 4.5 cu ft Top Load Washer with Water Level Control, etc. The wash options are very good, the machine is quiet, and a glass lid works well. It's so nice to have a short wash option. The machine is agitator free, which is great!
