So far, so good. We have only owned the washer/dryer a few days, but have used it not stop while awake and even while sleeping with delay wash. The tub is HUGE and easily handled our California King bedding. I like that the lid is see though. We were limited what we could fit in our space. One of the best features is the lid stays up at multiple angles, not just 90 degrees, which was important for use due to the cabinets above. The app was easy to set up and I love the sync feature. I also love the 5 minute warnings that the washer or dryer will be done, although it was non stop all weekend for us! Lol The delivery/installation team at best buy was amazing! They were polite, professional, neat, knowledgeable and most importantly the lead guy knew exactly what he was doing! I hope best buy knows how great this employee is! I wish I remembered his name but will update review once I find out. Thank you best buy for a pleasant experience.

Worst washing machine ever. Cannot balance itself at all. So if you don’t move the clothing to just through spot the entire machine will bounce and bang around so loudly it’s frightening. I have had two techs out to look at it and both could not fix it after replacing several parts. Do not buy from GE their ownership has changed and the quality of their products have gone down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. We know how important it is to have your washer balanced properly. We strongly encourage you to ensure that your washer is level, the feet are planted firmly into the ground, and that your loads are properly sorted and evenly distributed around the agitator. If these tips do not help, please send us a private message on our GE Appliances Facebook, Instagram, or X accounts, with your full model and serial numbers, contact information, and a screenshot of this review. We'd like to review this further. -Kacie@GEAppliances

Washer had a dent on it and if I wanted it replaced I had to wait an additional 2 weeks to receive it and the person who took my complaint didn’t speak good English we couldn’t even communicate properly having to repeat myself and he would say opposite of what I was saying and his loud roosters in the background would not shut up! I will not buy appliances her again!

Not sure if I really recommend this washer, but I said yes anyways. Have had it 11 days, got it 1/28/23 and have done 15 washes to test it out. 12 of the 15 washes, the washer became unbalanced and bangs loudly then stops itself, had to pause it so I could open the top (each load) to move clothes around, then continue it. Then it would act like a normal washer and finish without other issues. These were all small/light loads to test, except one medium load. You shouldn't have to babysit a washer.
So with that being said, is it just a faulty washer in the hundreds or more that they build of this model or is it a manufacturing problem. Don't know. I am returning this one and considering getting another one (same thing) to find out. Bad part is waiting again 5 weeks for the next one to come in. It looks nice, has nice features/options for washing, large capacity, mostly quiet, cleans clothes well (when not acting like a tempermental bratty child), end of wash cycle too quiet to hear, unless you are standing right by it (it does have wi-fi with app to let you know, Hmmm), and no way to adjust the volume of it. That's a minus.
I will update this if I do get same thing and what happens.
Can't any of them just make a washer that just works and does what it's supposed to do, Is that too much to ask??

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.

So far so good. Honestly, have not had it long enough to know everything. Besides washer coming with a dent on both sides. Its a little deep so kids can help you put clothes in dryer without a step stool. Love the big tub. Its quiet. Seems to wash well.

Great washer! Did not know if I would like the plate instead of the agitator but if you take your time in loading it works just as good. Sanitize cycle is much faster than my old front load. It’s quieter than my old washer also which is a plus.
