Purchase at your own risk
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In general, we have loved this machine. Unfortunately, less than 2 years in the drain pump has failed. GE customer service was polite, but could not offer any help as the 10 year warranty is on the motor only. Disappointed to say the least.

Amazing!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The absolute best washer I’ve had! Clothes come out super clean, not smelly and wrinkles are very minimal! I love that I can pour in and leave it for awhile and it reminds me to fill it back up! The vent is amazing for no mold/smelly issues. When this one breaks, I will be buying another!

Works Well
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only negative is that it shakes...quite a bit. Works really well though. Not sure if it's supposed to shake so much. Clothes come out clean and dry. We have ours on the pedestal, so maybe that's why it shakes so much? It's really big. Makes a lot of noise.

GREAT Washer!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my homework and read the reviews on this GE washer. It replaced my Samsung top washer which I only had for almost 2 years. It didn't last long. I wanted to go back to GE and I'm so glad I did. I've had this for a week and half now. LOVE how I can do a quick wash and my clothes come out clean. The socks came out white washing in cold water! In reading the reviews people were upset and wondered why the washer is made in China. I googled it and found out GE was bought in 2016 by Haier from China.

Good washer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks nice, does a great job washing, the smart detergent dispenser is nice, is somewhat louder than the 15 year old LG that it replaced. The drum drying feature works very well.

Have to leave the door open
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all, the build quality and performance of the washer and dryer pair are very good. We are satisfied with the value for the money. However, given the cost of the washer, there is something to consider before you buy it. We did our research and were aware that front-loaders are notorious for odor. This is in large part why we chose the model with the "UltraFresh Vent" feature. There are two downsides to mention. One, it is recommended to leave the door and liquids drawer open when not in use to reduce mildew. This poses problems by introducing the opportunity for passers-by to break the drawer and small children or pets to climb in. Secondly, we wipe dry the liquids drawer and the door seal after use. It would seem that stretching and distorting the rubber seal would accelerate wear and lead to a leak. Also, keep in mind that if you use the UltraFresh Vent cycle it will run for 8 hours. The bottom line is that the washer is worth the money if you are willing to deal with drying it by hand and keeping it open while not in use. The remote app, SmartHQ, leaves a bit to be desired. Its only value is in getting notifications of cycle status. The app limits you to one user. For example, I connected the app on my phone to the washer and dryer. Set up was not terrible, but could be simplified. After adding them to the app on my wife's phone, they were removed from mine. All-in-all, the wifi features are a novelty, so it's not something we considered as important in making the purchase.

Posted .Hi,
Thanks for leaving a review! We appreciate you choosing GE Appliances, and it's a pleasure having your business. We apologize if some features inconvenienced you and we'll definitely pass along your comments to the design team. We do like to remind customers that the door of this model does not have to be left open after a wash cycle. The door can be closed and the UltraFresh Vent feature can be initiated to avoid any smell of mildew. Keep in mind you also do not have to run this UltraFresh Vent feature for 8 hours. If you have turned it on and then have to wash clothes you can turn off the UltraFresh Vent feature by pressing the POWER pad, turning the cycle knob, or pressing the UltraFresh Vent pad. We hope these tips help! If you have any other questions or concerns let us know. Take care!

Slow spin
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s been a great washer so far, when it spins....sometimes it spins the clothes so slow that they are sopping wet at the end of the cycle. I will have it set on max or high spin, but it goes very slow until the end...not sure what’s up. May need a tech come check it out...

Excellent washer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought the the washer about a month ago and so far it has been really good. The wifi option is really nice and helps getting more laundry done. Normal cycles complete in about 50 minutes.

Was great until it failed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I very much liked this GE washer, until it failed 3 years after I bought it. It started making a loud grinding noise while running. The service tech told me it's the bearings and the cost to repair is the same as the replacement cost. So here I am, buying a new washer again just 3 years later.

Be warned
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy any GE appliance that has the Smart App. In order to use the wifi features you need to set your router to the least possible security setting. For me it was “none.” If don’t care, these as they are, are decent products.
