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.

I would recommend this to a friendNot happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy with best buy. Could be last purchase. I was told to measure dimensions which is my fault but the machine was too deep to fit properly in my washer & dryer room. A good salesman would have pointed that out. Also old machine was not hauled off. Again I was not told by salesman that was an extra charge so old machine left on carport. I would have paid for haul off if told.

Great Washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great washer! Just remember with all front load washers be sure to leave the front door open as well as the soap drawer, this will prevent mildew smells.

Posted .Hi,
Thanks for sharing! We'd like to congratulate you on the new washer and welcome you to the GEA family. We appreciate the tip on preventing mildew smells, but since this washer is equipped with an UltraFresh Vent System, leaving the door open isn't necessary. This new system eliminates excess moisture to help prevent odors, ensuring your washer stays fresh and clean. It's been a pleasure speaking with you. Take care!

I would recommend this to a friend Beautiful washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love it!! We have not had a new washer in almost 20 years and I am so glad we were able to purchase this beautiful washer (and matching dryer). It washes huge amounts at a time or just a small load if that is what you want and it has a special drying feature when your load is done that keeps it dry and clean smelling.
