    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.

    Washer is easy to use. It remembers the cycle and settings from the previous load, eliminating the need to constantly reset your preferences! Needed to add water arrestors as it caused horrible water hammer. Arrestors were easy install, and eliminated the water hammer.

    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.

    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.

    It washes well, but only lasted for four years and the main board is dead. $500 for a new board, or $700 for a new washer

    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.

    The GE 4.8 CuFt High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer is solid. I don’t bother with the smart features—I don’t need my phone involved in laundry—but that doesn’t matter. It works exactly how a washer should: it cleans clothes well, it’s quiet, and it’s easy to use. Big thanks to the Best Buy manager who helped us out by holding it for pickup. That extra bit of customer service made the whole process easier when it turned out it wouldn’t fit in my car. What I really like is the Ultra Vent Technology. I was worried about that classic front-load washer smell, but this one stays fresh. No musty odors, no extra maintenance—it just works. If you’re looking for a straightforward, reliable washer, this one gets the job done. No frills necessary.

    Large Capacity!

    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.

    I’m very satisfied with this washer. It has a clean, modern design and a large capacity that easily handles big loads. The machine runs quietly, cleans clothes very well, and the odor prevention feature truly makes a difference. Overall, it’s easy to use, practical, and looks great in my laundry space.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    This was a store model or open box purchase. The only damage was from the store associate that brought it out of the store to me. It has a few less wash options than our old washer. It weights much more, so Im hoping its built to last.
