Replaces a very small washer for this. Love how much i can do at a time, and faster. It spins almost all the water out so it takes less time to dry. Easy to use, alot like mu old washer but better. The price was good too.

The GE washer runs efficiently and quietly. It spins our clothes very well, which cuts on drying. I’m extremely impressed and pleased with our purchase.

This machine works amazingly well and it's definitely quieter than my last machine. The ultrafresh vent system is so nice and really helps keeps the machine fresh. It has a big capacity so when I wash my quilts I can still ad more towels etc to the load. I couldn't get the WIFI on this machine to work, but otherwise easy to setup and use.

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.

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.

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.
Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed review on your washer. We truly appreciate your feedback and we'll be sure to pass along your concerns to our engineering team. Thanks so much for making GE Appliances a part of your home! -Mikayla@GEA

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.

The washing machine itself is an upgrade from our 10 old front loader, but the Fresh Vent and Microban is a great new feature. Since we live in a warm humid place and keep our washer & dryer in an covered outdoor location, the rubber lining around the front of the front loader always had moldly stain. Even cleaning the washer regularly, wiping it down between washings, and keeping the door open enough to let it dry out didnʻt prevent how dirty it stayed. With Fresh Vent, it dries itself with the door closed and micorban is suppose to prevent mold and mildew. I still wiped down the door and interior but no smell of mildew yet. This helps to keep the laundry smelling fresh and keeps the colors bright.

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.

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.

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!
We're glad to hear this washer has been so great at cleaning and keeping off the pet hairs. We know how annoying that can be sometimes! Be sure to keep in touch with us and thanks for your support. Mike@GEA

Good washer, bad installers.

I bought this washer for a couple of reasons.
First, because of the Microban material used in several areas of the washer. After a several years of use on my previous washer, I noticed mold or mildew forming on the gasket and possibly in other non visible areas of the washer. Microban is supposed to eliminate the mold/mildew formation.
Second, it's made in the USA. By no means it's a second grade washer. My spouse said it's quieter than our previous washer that we had for nearly 14 years.
Now here's the bad think. I bought this from Best Buy because I want delivery and install. This washer is heavy and I don't see myself doing everything from hauling away the old washer and installing the new one.
I used Best Buy to install large TVs in my company offices throughout the country and they've always done a very good job.
On delivery day, two young gentlemen showed up early morning, removed the old washer, installed the new washer and hooked up water and drain hoses.
I trusted them as I believe they installed hundreds of washers and dryers.
A couple of days later, I found the washer moving a few inches away from its supposed location in the garage.
After inspection, I found that the leveling feet are missing. The washer is shaking a lot during rinsing and that's the reason why it moved. I watched the youtube video and sure enough the leveling feet are missing.
I contacted GE and provided the model and serial number to get replacement leveling feet but no response from GE. Best Buy said they used a third party for delivery/install and I didn't get the names of the two guys who did the job.
To sum up, I like the washer but not very happy with the installers.

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.

High capacity. Washes clothes nicely! Smart features are excellent. WiFi notifications are now a must. No more forgetting your clothes are done washing. The ultra fresh vent system is genius.

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

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!
I would recommend this to a friend

Happy with this machine. Bought as a scratch-n-dent replacement for the LG machine we had. This unit has a better track record by the reviews and looking to get a nice long life from it. Easy DIY install as a direct replacement of the other one. Heavy! 250+ lbs.
