Amazing washer. I have really enjoyed the automatic detergent dispenser and the notification through the app makes it perfect as my laundry is outside the main area of the home and the audible alarms aren't heard. The stacking with the dryer has improved use of the laundry space.

I love this washer! It holds so many clothes and washes everything very well. The settings are easy to use. I didn't think I would use the auto dispense feature much, but find myself leaving that on auto all of the time. It dispenses the amount based on size of the load and settings used, so there's just enough soap each time. The venting feature is fabulous and truly dries the inside of the washer when activated. The self clean cycle is great too! I chose this machine primarily for the siz and the way the door seal is built (nothing can get stuck inside of it and its easy to clean). I haven't found any downsides to this machine yet.

I bought the washer/dryer pair and like how spacious it is. I also loved the color and the options. I’m still a little skeptical about the smart dispense and if it really dispenses enough per load to actually clean clothes efficiently.

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.

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.

Best washer ever, each different cycle gets clothes to perfection, easy to keep clean and maintain. The auto dispence feature for the detergents makes it super easy to use.

I love this machine! It’s huge, holds a ton of laundry! I love that it’s connected to my phone and google home. Asking how much time is left and giving my phone a notification is great! I hated walking all the way down stairs to see the machine was still running.

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.

The GE washer is a great performer.
Sleek appearance in the blue. The wifi connectivity is great since the washer is downstairs in the utility room.
We get great notifications as the washing nears completion.
The washer is very intuitive to operate.
We plan to get the GE drier to match.
Very impressed and fully recommended.

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.

I have zero complaints about this washer. It’s absolutely the best washer Ive had. Washes well, and the spin cycle (which can seem loud at first, but you soon realize you don’t hear it if you aren’t listening for it. It only lasts about 30 seconds where it seems loud.) works so well with removing water that the marching dryer has zero problems drying a load with four pairs of jeans and numerous shirts in about 50 minutes. The venting system is what really makes this unit stand above any others as well. Absolutely zero funky smell.

I love my new GE - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer and Microban. It's a great size, not very loud, and the clothes come out very clean. The user design is really good: the opening is big enough so I don't hurt myself when putting the laundry in :)

I love this washer but here are my pros and cons for other buyers.
Pros: efficient wash cycles, washes out stains really well, the fresh vent works well, numerous cycles for your needs.
Cons: spin cycle is a bit loud(doesn’t bother me, I shut the laundry room door), the cycles do take longer but I’d rather my laundry be clean, clean than just slopped around, not a huge fan of the steam cycle. Not entirely sure how it works but I didn’t feel like it did much. Maybe I did it wrong, I don’t know. The buttons are super sensitive to touch. It doesn’t annoy me or anything but leaning against the machine will set the buttons off.
Everything else I like. It’s a fantastic machine. Hoping to get many, many years of use from it!

Great washing machine, terribly delivery service

Love it! But at the end of the day, it's just a washing machine. All it's fancy features - and I end up just shoving it full of stuff and putting it on a normal or bulky cycle. And so will you. It's not any louder or quieter than any other new machine. I think it's a smidge louder than my last GE top loader that was about 8 years old and was still going strong. I do love the auto-loading detergent tank but note that it uses way more detergent than just tossing in a pod or two in a normal load. I've had this for a month and have used nearly 128oz of detergent with it set on the Auto setting (there's a less and more setting as well).
Now for the gritty part. The dreaded delivery. I've read several reviews that have given 1 star to the product because of the delivery and that's really unfair. I also thought that it was a rare case of delivery carelessness and that it wouldn't happen to me. Wrong. The delivery was the worst!! They left trash in the street in front of my home and a bag of parts which I collected. When I turned the water back on behind the washer, I got a nice soaking as did my wall and floor. That bag of parts I found at the street, that was the o-rings for all the hoses. They failed to put a single o-ring in any of the hoses which resulted in the aforementioned soaking. I have multiple hoses because my dryer is the steam version. So I o-ringed my hoses then went for the test cycle. Break tripped. Over and over again. I had to call an electrician to sort it out. None of that was the delivery teams fault. However, upon the initial test wash cycle, the machine walked all over my laundry room and managed to punch a hole in the wall behind the machine. This was because the delivery team failed to remove all the shipping braces off the back of the machine. And lastly, my dryer came with no documentation. No manual, no registration, nothing.
