Leaky washer :/
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, this washer looks beautiful inside and out. Offers amazing features within the smart app. However it’s a piece of garbage. I’ve had it about 3-4 months and it started leaking from the bottom of the water under the basket. Not what I expected from a sub thousand dollar washer :/. I would say get something simple without any built in technology.

Great washer for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to use and happy with the noise level. I was very surprised how much smaller this unit was compared to my previous washer and has a larger capacity.

I love this washer
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washing machine has been a game-changer in my laundry routine. I’ve only had it 3 months however It’s quiet, efficient, and surprisingly fast. Clothes come out clean, fresh, and well-spun—cutting down on drying time too. I love the variety of wash cycles, especially the quick wash and delicate settings. It has WI-FI and allows me to use with my phone!! The digital display is easy to use, and the machine feels sturdy and well-built. It also uses water and energy efficiently, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a reliable, user-friendly washer that does exactly what it promises. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality upgrade!

WORST WASHER OF ALL TIME
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this GE Profile washer just over a year ago, and it has already had multiple serious failures, which is unacceptable for a premium appliance. The first issue was the washer failing to properly spin water out of clothing. A GE technician advised that the machine must be run on “Bulky” instead of “Smart Wash” so it would fill with enough water to balance the load. This defeats the entire purpose of the advertised smart, water-saving technology. If using the “Smart Wash” feature causes the washer to malfunction, then the feature simply does not work as advertised. The second issue involved the washer not unlocking. Rather than scheduling another service call, I researched the issue and found numerous customer videos and complaints online describing the exact same failure. This strongly suggests GE is aware of this recurring defect yet continues to sell the model without correcting it. Most recently, the washer lost power entirely, leaving it completely unusable. This happened on December 31, a time when laundry needs to be done before the New Year. Having a washer fail at such a basic level in barely over a year is unacceptable. I have owned older washers that lasted decades without these problems. This GE washer does not meet even basic expectations for reliability or quality. I do not recommend this product.

Wish it had a automatic detergent dispenser!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice machine, easy to use and cleans clothes well. The only disappointment I have is that this unit does not have an automatic liquid detergent dispenser. My last GE washer had that and it was very handy. This unit only has an automatic bleach dispenser. Now I have to measure out detergent for each load again. A little disappointing but my fault for not asking enough questions or doing enough research. I would have paid more to get it.

Great Machine
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this machine, it was a replacement for a Maytag. It was initially delivered damaged so I am expecting a replacement, even damaged it has worked a lot better than my previous. The agitator makes a huge difference in the washing of clothes excellent for my 3 kids. It also has huge capacity even though I do not normally use it for huge loads I hardly ever fill it half way! I am not too technologically inclined so I have not really messed with all the Tech features but it is a great machine even without them.

Posted .We are glad to assist with your washer getting off balance. Yes, too many clothes or improper loading can cause unbalanced loads which can cause the washer to vibrate more. Stop the machine and redistribute the load or remove items. The more the legs are extended, the shakier the washer will be during operation. Also, make sure the washer is level. The unit needs to be level and sitting on a good, solid floor. To level, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. You can also unplug the unit for five minutes and plug it back in to reset it.

Love it so far!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good! We've really enjoyed this washer. Love the feature that makes sure the soap is fully rinsed. The only time we've had any issue is when we have it filled to the max with super bulky and the balance cycle is rough.

The machine that almost stayed :-)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The washing machine was more than what we needed didn't realize till we got it home almost on the edge of saying it's industrial but very nice looking and just couldn't get it to fill up with water all the way and that's probably because I'm not an expert at installing them but I believe the machine even though I returned it we'll make somebody happy that they can figure out how to work it correctly and especially if you have a lot of clothes let me tell you that great on the capacity that it holds we got ourselves kenmore's now may not look brand new but let me tell you sometimes the old ones are still the goodies good luck in your shopping and hopefully whatever machine you buy treats you well as long as you treat it well

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed review—it sounds like you gave the washer a fair try! This high-efficiency model is designed to use less water while still delivering powerful cleaning, which is why the water may not appear as high as traditional machines. For those who prefer a deeper wash, the “Deep Fill” and “Deep Rinse” options can help tailor the cycle to your preferences. We’re glad you found a solution that works for you and appreciate your thoughtful insight. Lauren@GEAppliances

Good washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The washer is big enough for a queen size blanket. There are enough settings so that any load can be adjusted however you need. There isn’t a setting that defaults to cold; so that is something a bit aggravating but it’s easy to switch. The spin options are great and it knocks a good amount of dog hair out. The actual detergent dispenser seems a bit poorly made but over all it’s been a good since we got it two weeks ago; probably 50 loads
