This washer rocks!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first side loading washing machine that we have purchased, and I think we won’t be having to replace our washing machine for a very long time. Very solid product, and extremely easy to use!

Much louder than we expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife, who usually avoids the techie features, really enjoys the mobile app letting her know the status of each load and can make changes/adjustments without having to go to the machine. However, this washing machine is much louder than previous machines. Loud enough that I downloaded an app to measure the decibels, which average 75dBA (similar to a vacuum cleaner) during the spin cycle. I haven't measured the levels when the washer is filling, as we noticed that was also louder than expected. My wife has said she feels this washer is doing a better job cleaning our clothes than our previous washer.

Satisfied Consumer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a five star review but only because I can't predict longevity. Appreciate the UltraFresh Vent System. Do not like that my replaced Samsung Front Loader's stand does not accommodate the GE product measurements and is therefore useless.
I would recommend this to a friend Initial water load bang
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It makes a lot of noise when initially loading with water for each load. After that, it works fine.

Piece of JUNK
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washing machine has had to be repaired three times within the first year. Mother board replaced, motor replacement, and it's broken again. We're waiting for another technician to come out, AGAIN. Every time I call for service it takes a week or two to come put & another 1-3 weeks to get the part in. We've spent over $1,000 at our local laundromat; where I've met a nice group of gals,but id rather be doing my laundry at home and saving the time and money. I could have bouth a new washer by now. All this expense in less than ONE year, plus I even paid for the extended warranty. These companies should be ashamed selling JUNK like this.

GE FOR THE WIN!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, washing clothes faster than my previous machine, more space to put detergent, and the vent cycle is the best feature in cutting down mold and not having to leave the washer door open
I would recommend this to a friend Works as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like the features on this machine. It has a clean out filter right on the front to get to lost items or just to clean out to help machine work better. Bought it because of the venting feature especially as I have had other front washer that got so stinky. That feature works fine but only complaint I have is the venting runs for 8 hours everytime and how is that cost effective. I haven’t had it long but it runs as advertised. Clothes come out clean and smelling fresh. Front touch pad is super sensitive so you only need a light touch and if you accidentally bump it you can screw it up and have to start load again. I mention this because I have bumped it by accident a couple of times already.

GE washer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love front load washers and dryers. This is my second set, I tried the top loaders but they just can't do what the front loaders can. I will never go back, I wash heavy things like quilts and pillows, the top washer would always go off balance and leave the quilts wet to the point I had to wring them out, this machine has no such problems

Couldn't be happier!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with this washer and the ultrafresh vent system. I had issues with my previous front load washer staying fresh, however, this one is completely dry on the inside after running the vent cycle. I really like all the wash options and my clothes come out smelling great!
