Wish I would have known...
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased both the washer and dryer a year ago. I love them and am glad I chose these. However.....I was not told I could purchase a pedestal for each at the time of purchase. I certainly would have gotten them because its very difficult to reach clothes to remove. I only found out about the pedestals a short while ago and now it is too late to purchase.

Best front load brand
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model has the highest of quality on the market. Its motor sustains very high speed spins. Spin basket stabilization mechanism is much better than top-load models. The rinse/spin algorithm seems to be able to counter-balance in transition to high speed spin. Strongly recommend to upgrade plastic front door to Gorilla Glass, with optional giant screen protector for purchase.

Great washer for a good price. Great so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally wanted a Samsung but found this GE model and so far til today, I am very happy with this purchase. All my clothes come out nice and clean and the spin cycle takes out most moisture so very little drying time. Very quite.

Overall great
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great and does what it says, but I don’t really like that if you move the sliding nob accidentally in the middle of the cycle it stops and you have to restart the cycle all over again even if it was almost done. No lock feature that I know of. And the app is cool but you can’t do as much remotely as I would wish

Works Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have only had our new washer for a week. Everything from delivery, setup and first few washes have been perfect. I will update you again in a few weeks. I really like the Ultra Fresh Vent System so far. It comes on for a few minutes after every wash to vent the washer. My old Maytag really had a bad odor and I was constantly having to use an air freshener to kill the smell. I will keep you posted.

Disappointing Washer and Dryer Set
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Washer and Dryer Combo purchased in February 2024 replacing a 18 year old combo that still functions properly. Within 6 months the dryer needed the entire drum replaced due to a crack, this was covered under the 3rd party warranty. Their response "it happens", drum replacement would have been$650 if out of warranty. Multiple attempts were made to pay for the extended service warranty however their website always crashed when processing payment. 1 month after the warranty expired, the washing machine now needed a new 'inverter board' running at about $250 for parts and service. While GE covered the repair "as a courtesy" it is ridiculous these $2k appliances breakdown within a few months considering this is a single household lightly using the appliances. Look into different brands if you can, these appliances look great and does work great...when it's working. Can't wait to see what repair comes in the next months. Glad I didn't get rid of my 18 year old appliances that still function perfectly and have had no prior repairs or issues.
