Vibration and Noise
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had to return it after a few washes because it vibrated really bad and was very noisy. The new one is a little better but not a lot.

Posted .We are glad to hear you were able to have your new washer replaced due to it vibrating and the sound level. To help with the the new unit, we are glad to provide some tips that may help. First, push and pull on the back right and then back left of your washer to check if it is level. If the washer is uneven, adjust the rubber leveling legs so they are all firmly touching the floor and locked in place. If a load happens to get unbalanced, pause the unit, open the door and manually redistribute the load.
NOTE: The washer is designed to move 1/4” to reduce forces transmitted to the floor. This movement is normal.
Initial water load bang

Great Washer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed with this washer so far. I read all the reviews and did a lot of research prior to my purchase. The unit is quiet, door does not leak, and cleans clothes well. The app is great to update the software and see usage, but I turned off notifications.

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!

Great washer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good washer and we really like the Wifi connection telling us when its almost done with the cycle and when it's finally done. We see moisture on the door after the vent system works but zero mildew smell afterwards.

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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We received the absolute best service and shopping experience buying a front load washing machine from Matt in the Casper Wyoming store.

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

Smooth as silk
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Smooth and easy! Favorite part is the ultravent system so you never have to worry about mold buildup! Which is a big deal living in the South!
I would recommend this to a friend Clean Frequently To Prevent Odor
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This a good washer. The glass part tho gets dirty on the bottom if you don’t clean it frequently it gets like this yucky muck on it and it makes the washer smell. Other than that it’s a good washer and I like that I can set a specific time to wash my clothes.

I would recommend this to a friendHappy So Far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a 29-year old Kenmore and figured it was time. We debated top-load or front-load and ended up getting the 550 series washer and dryer. So far it has performed as expected. There's more than enough settings and fine-tuning controls. We wipe down the gasket after using and have had no mold issues. The app is decent.

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. We were able to modify the existing stacking brackets to hold the Whirlpool Dryer to the new GE Washer with no problem. The new washer work very well and is quiet.
I would recommend this to a friend 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.
