Not for active lifestyles or kids that play hard.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first front loader. I've used them in the past during travel or at friends. I've always shied away from front loads because of the mold and horror stories of repair issues. After doing some research, this washer seemed to have checked off a lot of boxes so I figured I'd give it a shot. The UltraFresh feature is great! We run it at night after all the loads and in the morning, the unit is completely dry. The smart dispense works as advertised... It's one of those features I didn't think I'd need in life but it's one less step I appreciate. All our everyday clothes come out clean and smelling fresh which we were loving for the first few weeks until we gave it a challenge.... If you live an active lifestyle or have kids that get into dirt or mud, this washer isn't for you. We had gone on a hike and it got really muddy. Came home and tossed all our mud-covered clothes into it. Set the washer for "POWER CLEAN" + PreWash + Extra Rinse knowing that this would be a tough load for the washer. Well... It failed to clean it. Ultimately, we had to run the washer 3 extra times using all of those + settings which took 2 hours each... that's 6 hours! Our old top load would have had no problems getting all the sand out of the fabric on its first try. After watching the washer do its thing off and on for 6 hours, I noticed it uses very little water. I understand that this is a characteristic of front loads and it's a selling point to conserve but other front loads I've used in the past have a "more water" feature. I looked in the owner's manual to see if I was missing something but it seems like they pulled the "more water" feature off this unit. It's available on their GFW550 & GFW510 where it adds 3 extra gallons to the wash. On the GFW850 & GFW650 the more water is replaced with time saver. There is already a quick wash mode on the dial but they pulled more water to add time saver to the panel of options. So, if you have an active lifestyle or even maybe a mechanic or have kids that get dirty, this isn't the washer for you. I really wish this was a 5-star washer for me.

RUN, DON’T WALK TO GET THIS SET❤️
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.5 stars are not enough for this washer/dryer combo! It’s great. It’s quiet, washes and dries everything perfectly and its super easy to use. It’s a little “techy” , which always scares me…but it’s done so well! I’m able to wash our heaviest queen sized down comforter FAR easier than in my previous machine. It does, sometimes get buched up and needs a little re-arranging for an extra spjn cycle- but thats not a big deal to me. I love this set! LOVE IT!

Decent washer and dryer
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this and the matching dryer. It was a replacement for a Samsung Bespoken set that was junk. The washer is fine. It does the job. The dryer needs to be improved. First it’s expensive so it shouldn’t be so loud. The lint trapped needs fixed. First make the holes bigger so it can actually suck in the lint. Plus the lint trap feels cheap and flimsy. That was the best thing about the Samsung dryer. Overall I would recommend them but I also only had them for 2 days.

Buy this!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this washer! The ability to fill the detergent with 50 ounces of liquid and not have soap all over the top is a game changer. I’ve done about 20 loads so far before the low soap signal showed. One of the big reasons I bought this is so I can keep the door closed and not have things stink from not drying the seal. This washer has a special feature that vents the door seal. That works great. I did try the wash and dry in the same load without switching to the dryer. That setting was going to take like 6 hours. I have to do some checking to see if that is typical. If it is, I’ll never use that setting. The clothes do get much dryer coming from the washer than my old washer. It seems to spin more water out. The blue color looks amazing in my laundry room too.

Not happy with this washer, only lasted 2 years
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this washer 2 years ago and it stopped spinning. I use the venting option however it still smells like mildew. Tried cleaning it out and change the filters but still doesn't spin and has a mildew smell. I just bought the GE Profile today and hoping that one will last longer than this washer did.
