Great Washer!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this purchase! Washes clothes thoroughly and efficiently. It’s so nice to have an app that informs us when the cycle is done. The vent feature is also great to keep the washer from smelling horrible.

Not happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy with best buy. Could be last purchase. I was told to measure dimensions which is my fault but the machine was too deep to fit properly in my washer & dryer room. A good salesman would have pointed that out. Also old machine was not hauled off. Again I was not told by salesman that was an extra charge so old machine left on carport. I would have paid for haul off if told.

Stopped working after 18 months
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this GE washer in December of 2023, but by June 2025 it suddenly stopped working. No warning, nothing. Had bought warranty for this product and asked for machine to be repaired. Best Buy cancelled my appointments 7 times in less than one month and my machine was never repaired. Went in person to the store, but was turned away at the door because their team doesn't do repair. Store refused to help me with getting support for repairing my washer. Wasted my time, will not buy again.

Need better INSTALLERS.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had issues with the installers. The initial installer did NOT level the washing machine, there was 2-3 inch discrepancy from front to back. I pointed it out and he dismissed me, saying that it will work. He also refused to change the door swing to the opposite side, even though I pointed it out in the orders. Second installer leveled the washing machine out but said he did not know how to change the door swing for this"new" GE model. "I have NEVER been train." I ran into the same problem (door swing) with the 3rd installer saying "he had never been trained to change the swing on this GE model. BUT much to HIS CREDIT, he figured it out. Otherwise the machine works well, VERY QUIET. I don't even hear it when it is running.

Posted .Hello and thank you for choosing our new UFFL models. We are very proud of them and are happy to hear it is working well. Please accept our apologies for the hassle with installation as this is surprising and frustrating. Reversing the door on a washer is a relatively new feature and some installers may not have been trained yet. Please let us know if you have any questions about the washer. - John@GEAppliances

Washer Review

Clothes soaked after spin
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this washer for a little over a year. I feel the wash quality is inconsistent and that's even with regular cleaning cycles and always allowing it to vent. Sometimes the clothes don't get clean and smell mildewy. Thankfully, no leaking issues (knock on wood) like others have said. The weirdest thing is that occasionally the spin cycle will just leave the clothes soaking wet and heavy with excess water. I really try to be mindful of not overloading it so it can spin and drain properly. This happens without changing settings in between loads. For example, the first load of the day might come out well-drained and slightly damp, but the very next load (similar fabrics/weight) on the same spin setting will come out completely waterlogged. I have to either wash them again or rinse and spin because they are too wet to go into the dryer when this happens. I just don't understand it.

Low quality products
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big mistake buying this item. It stopped working a few days ago (2.5 years in use). Controls don't stay on when starting a load. We were told by the GE technician that the 10 year limited warranty only covered the motor and that we would need to pay $114 for the visit to diagnose which board has failed, and afterwards parts and labor to fix it. We told him no thanks. We will throw this thing in the trash and never buy GE again. The dryer which was part of the set, also died 18 months after purchase. We had to pay $450 to get it fixed. These products are lemons.
