Lid not closed message less than a month from owning it. Didnt buy the best buy warranty so now I have to wait 17 days for GE to get someone out to do the warranty repair. It is much loud than i had expected it to be, the 13 year old units we replaced were much quieter. So far very disappointed. Gave it 2 stars because it fits a lot of laundry and the color is nice

Purchased this to replace a 10 year old front load washer that dramatically quit on us. This was on display so we were able to “play” with it. Compared to our old front load, this machine cleans and drains extremely well. We have used all the modes on the dial and have had great success. If you have an unbalanced load, it will show a message stating it is trying to balance the load, which is nice.The Smart HQ app is nice and allows me to monitor the machine and gives me a useage chart which is nice. I love that after enabling the Alexa skill, I now get notified when the load is done. So far no complaints, i just hope it wil last ten years or more.
We appreciate you putting your trust in us and being a valued GE Appliances customer. This unit has some really great features and are glad you are enjoying it so far. We think you will continue to be impressed with this amazing washer for many years!

This washing machine is huge! It can handle a very large load and cleans well.

I've never had a washer that doesn't have an agitator, and when I first saw this washer didn't have one, I was a little unsure about it. I thought it wouldn't work as well. But I was wrong. It's amazing. I love that I can adjust the soil level and the spin level. It's really great having a washer that I can change all of the settings to what's needed for what I'm washing. Like the dryer, it took a little getting used to. But now that I understand what I'm doing with it, it's great!
We're glad to hear that you love the new washer, and the capacity that it offers! Be sure to take advantage of the smart features by downloading the SmartHQ app. We recommend you take a look at the "Smart Washer - Benefits of SmartHQ App" support article on the GE Appliances website. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! -Don@GEAppliances

Brand response from GE Answers

Your new washer may sound different from your prior unit because of the newer technology. Clicks, water flowing, gear sounds followed by pauses, and electric hum sounds are all part of the normal wash cycle. We recommend you review the support article on the GE Appliances website titled: "Top Load Washer - Normal Sounds." Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Love my new washer and dryer! The 5.0 tub is big enough for my sleeping bags and king comforters
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Good washer but inner part of lid as well as hinge are made of subpar material & break easily & entire lid had to replace. Lid underneath & around outer part definitely needs an updated design with better made material (heavier plastic or metal underneath washer lid).
Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. We are glad that you like your new washer unit and appreciate you bringing the lid and hinges to our attention. We are always looking for ways we can improve and will let our product team know so they may take this into consideration moving forward.

Extremely Disappointing Product and Customer Support
I purchased this washer and dryer set in September 2024, and unfortunately, it has been nothing but frustration since then. Within the first three months, the dryer experienced a blown fuse. Best Buy refused to replace it because it was outside their 30-day return window, and GE also declined to replace or properly support the issue.
Just over one year after purchase, the washer lid broke (see photos). The timing was especially frustrating because the washer only comes with a one-year warranty. GE would not repair the unit unless I purchased an extended warranty for an additional $375. Feeling pressured and left without options, I agreed to purchase the warranty through GE’s partners, Assurant and Bodewell.
What followed was weeks of wasted time and poor communication. A technician eventually came out but did not have the required replacement lid. He stated he would order the part and return in two weeks. Two weeks passed with no updates, no part shipment, and no follow-up. When I called to check on the status, I was shocked to learn that the claim had been closed and no part was ever ordered.
Trying to resolve this required multiple calls to customer service, each involving extremely long hold times just to reach a representative. Every call resulted in being transferred, placed on hold again, or given conflicting information. No one took ownership of the issue, and there was no proactive communication at any point. Meanwhile, we have been without a functioning washer for over a month.
Between the early product failures, limited warranty coverage, poor coordination with service partners, and excessive customer service hold times, this has been one of the worst appliance ownership experiences I’ve had. I am now canceling the extended warranty and seeking a refund due to the complete lack of service.
I strongly recommend avoiding this product. The quality is poor, and if something goes wrong, be prepared for endless hold times, broken promises, and unresolved issues. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.
We are so sorry to hear of your experience with this washer, and we would like to assist you with this matter. Please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a copy of this review.

I got the washer about 2 months ago and so far it’s been effective. Every once in a while it does get a bit noisy which it’s why I have it a 4 but other than that it does the job well

First appliance purchase. Had an initial hiccup with a delivery process, but with the assistance of the management team, they expedited the appliances - all turned out great the gentlemen who delivered our items, extremely courteous and professional, and not to mention very clean when assembling the equipment and disposing of any trash, and they took the time out to test the equipment, which I was very impressed so all in all I recommend to anyone purchasing appliances from Best Buy - great name brands with pricing. The appliances work great! Thank you!!

I like this washer because it's bigger than my last one but i don't like that when i wash a load sometimes my clothes be still wet not damp wet. I also do not like the length of time it takes to wash my clothes.
Washers are designed to extract as much water as possible from the wash load during the spin cycle. This helps to reduce drying time and save energy. It's normal for the wash load to still be damp but not soaking wet. If the clothes seem too wet after the wash cycle is complete, please check the following: a slow spin speed may have been selected which will eliminate less water than a fast spin speed. Oversudsing from too much detergent may slow down the spin cycle, causing a suds lock. Use HE detergent only and be sure to use the recommended measured amount. Run a drain/spin cycle if this has occurred to remove the excess water in the clothes. An out-of-balance load can prevent the washer from reaching the proper spin speed. If the load is out of balance, pause the cycle to redistribute the clothing and press Start to complete the cycle. If you continue to have concerns, please call Bodewell, our service team directly at 1-833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET to have your washer checked to ensure it is operating properly. -Vikki@GEAppliances

It’s nice. It’s large. But … if you use scent beads of any kind, you have to use extra rinse cycle or the beads don’t melt enough and your laundry will be riddled with spots of half melted scent beads . I’ve tried everything but the only solution is to run it long.
We appreciate you leaving your feedback with us! We love hearing that you're enjoying your washer. If scent beads aren't dissolving, please ensure that you're using the recommended amount, as using too many could cause them to not dissolve properly. We know this model will continue to serve you well.
