Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the 4.9 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer, particularly its cleaning performance, large capacity, and ease of use. The size of the machine is also a positive point for some users. However, some customers have concerns regarding the noise level, the absence of an agitator, and issues with balance during operation. There are also a few reports about reliability and the spin cycle.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

Your patience is greatly appreciated as we continue to navigate through these times. Best. Mike@GEA GE_Appliances

    Loudly Average.

    Our previous washer was a Maytag XL Commercial (so we enjoyed having a larger bin). It died after seven years, but was a constant repair headache before that. I did a lot of research before deciding on the GE profile. Pros: Nice sized wash basin. Quick wash is a great feature for non soiled items. Seems to use less detergent and less water without sacrificing utility. Cons: VERY loud. Like, unnecessarily loud. Regardless of spin speed, it spins hard and I've found the washer moved several inches across the floor after (which prompted me to then buy the extended warranty). Overall, average washer. Probably wouldn't repurchase if given another opportunity.

      We recommend checking to ensure the washer is level by placing a level on flat top side edges of your washer. Adjust all four leveling legs until washer is level left-to-right and front-to-back. If the issues with the sound level and movement continue, please call GE Appliances Service at 1-800-432-2737 to schedule an appointment to have it checked by a factory trained technician.

    Delivery from best buy was disappointing. They had the washer on it's side in the truck which damages the bearings, couldn't haul away my old machine for a week and left the giant box in my driveway. Washer seems nice but the delivery/haul away was a major FAIL.

Tangled, twisted or knotted clothes are usually the result of wash loads that were not properly sorted. Here are some tips to help prevent clothing from getting tangled, knotted or twisted in your Top Load Washer. Avoid mixing heavier weight items with lighter weight items. Avoid putting too many or too few items in the washer. Make sure you set the proper water level for the load size you are doing.

    Great washer and even better looking! The size is amazing, it can hold a king size comforter easily. Downside is if you are short, like my wife, getting things out of it at the bottom can be a bit challenging! It’s definitely deep! It also holds a ton of water so watch your water bill.

    If you hate yourself buy this.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    All the problems begin with a poorly programmed mother board. It can't sense how much laundry is in the machine. The water level never matches the need. If you need 6 inches of water it provides 2. If you press the extra water button it fills the entire tub. Too much water. The extra water button only works on some programs. Too many programs, choices. Why? The bottom impeller was the idea of a someone with no IQ. If there is 2 inches of water the clothes will ride the impeller like a cat on a Roomba. Useless. If the clothes are mid water or floating there is no scrubbing. Useless. With the tub rotating in one direction and the impeller in the opposite nothing happens to the clothes. Useless. They just vibrate with no scrubbing. The machine will go into pause whenever it feels like it. This is not a smart machine as advertised. If it is please give me the dumb one. If you try to wash a quilt all that happens is it turns into a mushroom. Air floats it to the top where as usual nothing happens. GE should be sued for false advertising. Bait and switch. I cannot leave the machine, always have to watch it because it cannot be trusted to perform as advertised. Waste of time. Waste of electricity. Waste of water. I find my clothes get very clean when I throw them in the bathtub and take a shower. Kick and stomp and rinse plus clean myself. That is efficiency. This thing is just a tub of scrap metal. Kenmore, Amana and Maytag all make mechanical washers which I am looking to buy. I can't think of anyone I hate enough to give this to them. Off to scrap metal I guess. Needed improvements. Trash the mother board and install mechanical knobs. I can make all the decisions and more intelligently. Trash the impeller and install a true agitator.

    I love this washer! Quick, lots of room and bonus that if you download the app, it will notify you if you clothes have been sitting in the washer for more than 30 minutes. Zero complaints! Our last washer would often times soak our clothes and blankets and give an error code. This washer we can wash bulk items without any issue.
