Bad quality
Do not buy this. The washer stopped spinning after 5 years and to fix it would cost as much as a new machine so I'm throwing it away and buying a new one (not GE of course).

    Horrible
    This product is the worse! Had this machine since 2015 now it stops spinning, does not fill with water and now the bearings are loose the tub doesn't spin.The machine cuts off in the middle of the cycle pauses and shuts off does not fill the machine with enough water to wash your clothes.

          Wore out in a few years
          I've only had it about 3-4 years and the bearings are shot. It makes a loud noise on spin cycle and leaks water. Our home warranty picked this when our last washer broke. Also it never really got our clothes super clean. I won't be buying it again.

            Overall a great value
            I’ve had this unit for several years now and it’s performed flawlessly. It was a scratch and dent special so it was also a good deal

                Washer Dead Bought with Lennar home
                I got all GE appliances with the purchase of my Lennar home about two years ago. They must be the lowest tier offered because within those two years the freezer on the GE refrigerator broke. It was fixed once under warranty but is acting up again. The handle broke off of the microwave once under warranty and now broken again. The wash has been finicky ever since day one and now won’t wash. GE used to mean quality but to me means junk. Never again will I buy or recommend GE anything.

                    Dead again :(
                    We have had our washer and dryer barely two years and keep having considerable problems with the washing machine. Now it has died and apparently needs a motor (after paying another service guy to find out what is wrong); which is on backorder for over three months. what am I supposed to do now? I could barely afford these when I bought them apparently NEW... sure doesn't feel like that.... :(

                      I went shopping for a new washer and dryer found mine. The price was within my budget and was very affordable. I am glad I purchased my set.

                        Nicest washer I have ever owned
                        This is the best washer I have ever owned. It is easy to make adjustments for different types of loads and it cleans very effectively. I would definitely purchase this washer again and I will be moving it to my next home.

                          Barely used and it's not working.
                          Cleaned pump filter often, was installed over a year ago (so warranty doesn't cover it anymore) but we never used it the entire time because the house was under renovation and we hadn't moved in yet.

                                Extremely noisy!
                                This washer does a pretty good job washing clothes but you can't hear yourself think when it is running. Squeaky and irritating even when the laundry door is closed. This washer was installed by the builder.

                                  Clothes does not get wet
                                  I hate the fact that it does not clean linen and blankets, which makes me think it does not clean the other laundry because it does not give the correct amount of water. I noticed some clothes still had a dry area when they were rinsing.

                                  Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write your review on your washer. We regret you experience and would like to provide you with some information we hope will help with your issue. Since frontload washers do not require the tub to fill with water, significantly less water is required to thoroughly wash and rinse each load. Although the capacity of the frontload washer allows for larger loads than a traditional topload washer, care must be taken to not overload the wash basket. Please take a look at page 10 in the use and care guide to review the Loading and Using the Washer section for recommended maximum load sizes, found in our following link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90542-1.pdf Thank you, again, for your feedback.
                                    The motor died in less than 2 years. It costs $450 to fix.

                                      This dryer has so many features! I really only use the express cycle, and love the fact that it will add dry time if any moisture is detected!!

                                        I bought this machine in March 2016 and have had 4 service calls with major repairs the first within a month of buying. This is junk! It has now been taken off the market and replaced and GE is replacing mine for free as it is a lemon. This is my second GE front load washer and if I do not have better luck with this 3rd one I will never own a GE appliance again! I have had to fight for everything from get go with GE service and I bought the extended warranty with this one and now they say I have to call the company that I have the extended warranty with to see if they will transfer to my new machine. I would think this should be there job!

                                            This washer uses so little water it's crazy! And is so quiet even in spin! And the clothes come out way cleaner than my old one!

                                                Great Washing Machine
                                                Really pleased with the front loading washer! Ours is on the second floor, so when it spins it's a bit loud, but that's because it is powerful. It really wrings out the water so my clothes don't take forever to dry. Easy to use, clothes are clean!
