Better Quality
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this washer so much more than my previous LG. GE is a product my parents and grandparents used. My only concerned is the fact that front loads don’t have a soak option when washing. Pre-wash is the best you will get with a front load. I’ve learned to soak them myself or spot treat. I like the reversible door feature and micro band ring. The machines are on the bigger side but it’s what my family needs. I would definitely recommend purchasing.

Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We just got our washer and dryer installed recently, but we LOVE it so far. Love the fact we can put 50oz of detergent in at one time and it will automatically use how much it needs. We no longer have to do what seemed like 5 loads of laundry a day, we can do 2 loads a week because of how big this is, and for a family of 5, that is a time saver. The color is a sexy sapphire blue and it looks so great in our laundry room.

Cleaner clothes than before
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine gets my clothes so clean. I was astonished after the first load and realized how sub par the replaced machine was. THIS one is fantastic. Easy to use with many options for washes on the dial.

Beautiful color
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the color of the front load washer. The vent system is an added feature that will be great. The washer was delivered today so have not had a chance to use it yet. We bought both washer and dryer plus the pedestals for a home we had a contract on, however, contract was terminated so we have not been able to use the. The units were sent from the factory so it took longer to get them delivered.

Great washer so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Washer has been great. It fits large loads and has done a great job cleaning them. The only issue I have had so far is using the spin/dry function. I tried to wing it, and it set it to an 8 hour cycle! The clothes were still damp afterwards too, so I need to look into how to use it.

A nice quiet washer that works as promised..So Far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this washer after many reviews highly rated it, and also the comments that if needed, parts for repair are easy to get. This Washer is quiet, doesn't vibrate a lot when in spin cycle, has a great capacity, and the fresh vent feature is a nice touch. I have not used all the features yet to be able to comment on them.

Love at first load
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Large capacity enough to fit a bulky king comforter or my Great Danes dog bed. Multiple wash settings. Fill and forget detergent dispenser. Vent fresh option after the days final load to keep the smell and mold away! Only issue is the touch power/start/stop button is a bit too sensitive but just don’t lean over that area and it’s not a problem!

Awesome Washer
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this set for about 4 months and love it. The washer has a 1 touch cycle that I thought was a gimmick and wouldn’t be useful but has turned out to be one of my favorite features. You can choose a cycle in the one touch wash and dry will wash and dry the clothes in the washing machine without ever using the dryer. It takes about eight or nine hours, but I hooked up an electricity monitor to see how much energy it uses and it’s under five cents. You can’t put over 2 pounds of laundry in but if you wear uniforms you can just toss them in there and let them run overnight and all your work clothes are done on a daily basis without ever needing to use the dryer. on top of saving energy and time on the weekend to wash work clothes I think it helps prevent the clothes longevity by never exposing them to the higher heat. Also, the power clean cycle really works - it’s removed pen stains from slacks without even using a stain remover …I highly recommend this washer and the accompanying dryer

Great washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I love my washer and dryer! Adding the stands then really made it look even better. The clothes wash well and I love the venting feature!! This is great for me because I’m very busy and sometimes leave wet clothes in the washer. It’s also very very spacious!!

Overall a nice washer
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had them for about a year now. And have had no trouble out of them. I really wish I could control them on the smart app but it does not let you. The only thing I would change is if you have an unbalanced load like when I wash my rugs. They will not drain completely. And there is no way to only spin. If they added a spin/drain cycle that was separate from the wash that would be great. I can usually add more rugs and fill the washer and the draining function is much better.

Great washer, disappointing delivery experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Washer is fantastic! "Delivery" experience, not fantastic. We scheduled delivery with Best Buy. Per their web page, delivery is described as delivered to laundry room, unboxed, inspected and packaging removed. Copied the quoted section from their website: "Included with Delivery Only Service Unboxing and inspection of washing machine; confirmation of make and model Removal of packaging from your home If haul-away is purchased, we will haul away your existing washing machine (washing machine must be disconnected) IMPORTANT: You must purchase new fill hoses for your new washer. Some washers do not come with fill hoses; existing fill hoses cannot be reused. Preparation for Delivery Help your delivery go smoothly: Clear a path from the street to the laundry room, ensuring it is wide enough to accommodate the washer Make sure someone 18 or older is present at the appointment time (19 or older in Alabama or Nebraska; 21 or older in Puerto Rico)" They delivered to our garage and left. They refused to transport to the laundry room. Super frustrated with that lack of service. Just a fore warning to someone else.....delivery is not delivery! Washers are super heavy and had to pay someone to help us get it where it needed to be. :(

GE front load washer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Large, large, large capacity. It manages my bedding with ease and there is still a lot of room left in the drum. The only thing I don't care for (but can simultaneously still appreciate its purpose) is the 8hr UltraFresh vent cycle. An 8hr cycle to dry the basin?? I like that I get an Alexa alert, and text message, to notify me when my load is 5mins from being done and again once it is complete. I also like the automatic soap dispenser. It helps save time from having to do that minor extra step. One warning, when pouring bleach in the bleach reservoir, make sure the door is fully closed because the bleach immediately flows into the tub.

Good Job

The auto dispence feature for the detergents makes it super easy to use.

Broken in 7 months
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you do not press time saver, your load could potentially take 2-3 hours and the estimated time it gives on time saver is never correct. It might say 35 minutes and actually take 1.5 hours. The spin cycle defaults to less than max on almost every program and it is insufficient. You have to chose max to get clothes dry and max spin cycle sounds like a twin engine jet taking off in your house. This machine is only 7 months old and treated very gently and already broke. Went to unload my clothes last night to find them in a puddle of water (about 4 gallons) and it won't start anymore. This was an average size load with lightweight clothing, so the load wasn't the issue. Also, I empty the excess water about every 2 weeks. Had to wring out 40 pieces of laundry by hand into a bucket and then scoop water out with a measuring cup to get it as dry as possible. Thankfully I purchased totaltech protection, but this is an absolute crock for something to be this expensive and faulty in less than a year. Waiting to see what the technician says, but my hopes are low now. GE is obviously not the quality now that its name was built on.

Great washer!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Choose this model because of features not obtainable in other model and also recieved consistently high ratings. It has not disappointed us. Washes and rinses clothes throughly and it's quiet and completes cycles on time. Also it able to dry itself out when not in use.

Great dryer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big drum in the dryer super quiet lots of features and also has a cycle that keeps the glue spinning. If you're not able to empty right away and you're notified on the app where the status of the dryer is in terms of minutes.

Great washing machine with great capacity
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washing machine has all the bells and whistles. I can see why it rates so highly as one of the top washing machines on the market today. I love the liquid detergent capacity. Just pour a whole bottle in and forget about it until the washer lets you know it's running low. The anti-microbial film makes sure there's no mold build up that's common on most front loading washers. There's also a vent function that drys out the inside of the washer, but it needed like 8 hours to complete, so I'm not sure what's going on with that. Just leaving the door open for an hour or so saves energy and has the same effect. It doesn't look overly blue online, but it definitely is more blue in person. I like the color a lot, but some may want the more traditional black, gray, or white look.
