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).

    Not the greatest... Thought large capacity we could wash a comforter... no, you have to take it out and wash it again after rearranging.... clothes, we have to wash twice because you can still smell clothes from perfume or work on them, it is never clean after 1 wash and rinse... even soaking with vinegar and baking soda, clothes are just never clean. Will not balance for anything, we have tried everything. I absolutely hate this washing machine.

      We understand the frustration of finding that the clothes are not getting as clean as you expect when they are removed from the washer. Please review the tips in the support article on the GE Appliances website titled: "Top Load Washer - Clothes Not Cleaning Well." If this information doesn't prove helpful, we recommend scheduling a service appointment for one of our Bodewell technicians to assess your unit. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at: 1-800-432-2737. We hope you allow us to work hard to earn your trust again. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

      We're glad you're liking how clean its getting your clothes but am sorry to hear about the noise. Please check out page 24 in your use and care manual, as it describes different common sounds. Also, view the article on our website called "Top load washer - normal sounds". If you don't think that the sound you're hearing is being referenced, please have one of our certified GEA technicians come out to take a look. Service can be set up online or by calling 1-800-GE-CARES GE_Appliances

    Looks good, does what it needs to and does it very well. This thing spins like a crazy and cut down the time the dryer needs to run. Very happy so far. Down side, I had to wait 10 days for delivery.

    Absolutely the worst appliance I have ever purchased. Bought it for my daughter as a house warming gift, and within two months it has flooded her laundry room four times. GE customer service is abysmal. They have sent techs out 4 times, twice saying they found different problems, twice saying there was nothing wrong. GE still has not fixed the washer and when I requested a replacement, GE told me we have not had enough failures to qualify for replacement yet. I will never consider another GE product. Buyer beware, GE produces garbage, and their warranty is useless.

    The washer is great so far. It has a large stainless steel tub; quiet when washing; and efficient. It is a nice-looking washing machine. I only have 1 complaint: When pressing the wash cycle button. I keep getting the "pause" cycle. It is excellent other than that issue.

      We'd like to help with any issues you're having with your washer. If the clothes aren't washing well, we recommend ensuring the water temperature is at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Other troubleshooting tips are available in your Use and Care manual; the manual can be viewed on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product's page, and the Troubleshooting Tips section starts on page 22. Regarding the issue with balance, we recommend ensuring the washer is leveled (the leveling legs can be adjusted if needed) and items are loaded evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket. The washer having an infusor rather than an agitator would not affect the balance. If you aren't able to resolve the issues with the washer, Bodewell (GE Appliances' team of appliance care experts) can be reached at 833-426-3393. A technician can certainly examine the washer. -Sarah@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    This Washer is awesome!! It has the all the settings for your laundry needs and also links with the dryer so it’s setting dry on whatever the washer is on. I would recommend this washer because it won’t break the bank and is very satisfying for your laundry needs!
