Interesting design to eliminate odor.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this GE front loaded with the belief that it could make foul odor mainly from residual of suds from its drum go away. It is a common complaint of the front loaded washers. GE newly designed feature called Ultrafresh Vent will run after the wash is finished. It has to be activated manually by pushing this button while system reminds us to do it after every wash. Drum will rotate slowly every 15 minutes and stop for 15 minutes alternately. It runs for 8 hours until the whole unit is dry. It seems to dry thoroughly very well. I have this GE unit for just one month and I keep using this vent after every wash. At this point of time the unit is still new, it wont show or emit any bad smell. I quite believe that this feature by which the GE is the only one who made it in the market now, will work perfectly. The only concern are the amount of electricity it uses for 8 hours though slowly running (we can stop it any time) and will wear the motor out in the long run.

Wife's happy, I'm happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Five years ago I purchased a matched set of LG high efficiency steam washer and dryer. The washing machine had to be repaired three times and this last break down was unrepairable. They were very expensive and should have lasted longer. Parts were no longer available. After much research I purchased this GE washer and the matching dryer. They don't have all the bells and whistles(that we never used) but they do an excellent job of cleaning our laundry. Noticeably better than the LG. I like the vent feature on the washer. It works very well. If have a complaint it would be that this is a very heavy washing machine. Get help if your putting it on a pedestal.

Large Capacity!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with the large capacity size (4.8 cuft) of the washer. I was originally worried about the footprint of the washer (Height: 39 3/4 inches, Width: 28 inches, Depth: 32 inches), but it proved to be no issue since these are 'worst-case' dimensions at top-bottom & side-side). I did notice if you use the 'Quick Wash' setting then you should choose the 'Max Spin Setting' so that the water properly drains and your clothes aren't wet. It does increase the time of the wash to 30minutes (from 20minutes). Overall I've very happy with the product.

Solid washing machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great machine. Large basin for larger loads and cleans the clothes really well despite the larger load size which is refreshing! Efficient and quiet. The wifi feature is an added bonus as it alerts you when the is 5 min from complete and then when complete.

Wow, huge upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After many years of used, or super basic, washing machines, this new machine is AWESOME. My clothes are coming out super clean, and nearly dry so my dryer has very little to do! With 4 animals in the house, I was used to everything having hair on it. Now, there is very little! The dispensers work great, my clothes are clean and smell great! And it's big enough for my heavy king size winter comforter to be cleaned properly, with room to spare! I'm looking forward to many years with my new washer!

Better than my old one.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old washer came with the house 12 years ago, it was starting to breakdown, so instead of fixing a machine I had no idea of it’s age, I researched a few different models and decided on this one. I had the switch the door from the default side, that was a bit of a challenge but not rocket science. That is one of selling points for me with this machine. The only thing that makes me worry is having the door on the front could lead to a small water issue if the lock ever fails. But I am hopeful I never have to experience it.

Good Product In Store Sales Training a Must
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product met our needs after our existing washer had issues with moisture and odors. We knew what we wanted when we came in and we had specific questions. Sales person assured us that are whirlpool pedestal would be compatible with GE. Delivery was delayed, but when they came out, the installer said that pedestal was not compatible and while taking away our washer they did not leave the pedestal due lack of tools. We now have a dryer on the pedestal but a washer that is not and misaligned. That being said product works well and no issues to date.

May need water hammer suppressors installed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s been installed for 3 weeks and is working great. The valves are more robust than my previous 13 year old Whirlpool front loader. This necessitates the need for water hammer suppressors on my plumbing due to my high water pressure.

General Electric
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.“LEVI” encouraged me and my wife for a GE washer that we would use to our benefit and to guests as well, not too big not too small. Also, modern features that we would need to use in order for easier maintenance for longer and lasting life. Thank you

Gets the clothes clean!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had the washer for about a month. It is easy to use and it does an excellent job cleaning our clothes. It is much quieter than the previous washer which I appreciate. I was determined to not buy a GE appliance, but this new one offered so many things that were appealing. It was less expensive than the washer we were considering, but that was not a determining factor. It was a nice bonus. At this point in my life I want what works well and this washer definitely does.

Washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the washer and dryer set up on washer has a special vent system to prevent mold it notifies my phone when laundry is done the only drawback which is one reason I bought it was it was supposed to have reversible doors which it does but I was told when it was delivered that if I reversed time it will start causing issues with it

GE Washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would recommend this washer. I love the big door which makes it easier to load and unload. There are many options for different cycles. I especially like the extra rinse feature. The big advantage is that it is large enough for bedspreads and blankets.

Pet Hair
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The door seal gathers a lot of pet hair and over time seems like it will either get plugged and cause issues draining. So im constantly having to pull the pet hair out of it. Overall does a great job cleaning and is super quiet!
