Best Washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this washer, my husband made me a beautiful wood pedestal with drawers that pull out, I don’t have to bend over anymore, it’s very easy to use, uses less water, only thing is I’m not supposed to use tide pods, that part kinda stinks but I really do love it!

Works great and looks great!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using the washer for about a year now. Working perfectly. It's in my basement but, I barely here it running during any of it's cycles. Never needed to rewash anything. WiFi application has proven very handy and develops good history.

Good Product HORRIBLE delivery and install
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only used 1 day so far. The product overall appears well built and has all the functions we need. I would have given it a 5 star but delivery and install were an absolute nightmare. Would not recommend purchasing anything you can't pick up or carry out yourself as Best Buys contracted delivery and installation companies they use are horrible. Significant damage to our brand new home which we have a pending claim in for. No doubt will end upnin court.

Your board will go out within the first year!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One year and two days after it was installed it stopped working. No warning. We’re just a simple family of three no pets no heavy usage. Of course all warranties have expired. No one will stand behind the product at all. Appliance repair not associated with Best Buy or GE was our best option for the repair because they couldn’t get here for three weeks. It’s the board and apparently according to this license Appliance repair company. This has been an issue for about a year and a half and G is not standing behind their product. I will never purchase another one!!! Over $400 for a repair and three weeks without a washing machine

My new favorite washer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I normally don't like GE appliances but this washer has been great. Love the design, the moisture remover and the additional cycles. I hope it last longer than my last few ge appliances, which were not good
I would recommend this to a friend Kinda meh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Washer will shake violently, like dent the wall, if a few key screws are not removed. Which is not in the set up manual and was suggested by chat CPT. It’s somewhat loud when it runs. Purchased this because the door is reversible to ease your home set up.

Great Washer
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not a believer in a front load washer, but this one works well. The venting option allows the washer to not smell. The app for washer is not the best however.

New GE Washer with existing Whirlpool Dryer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great new GE washer that we bought to replace a front loading Whirlpool.

Great when it worked
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this washing machine in Sept 2023 and lasted until May 2025 before it stopped draining properly. I would have expected it to last a lot longer than this before requiring service.
