                Love the built in base!
                I bought this before moving into my new home in February 2016. I chose the color Red and this model has a built in base which puts it at just the right height. It has numerous options to choose from for all of the various textures, materials, and preferences for laundry. It has easy to use cups for soap, fabric softener, etc. I absolutely love this machine and I especially love the color!

                    Great Machine!
                    I recently bought this product in slate so it did not show finger prints, and I am in LOVE with it! Only down fall is when you are standing right up to it, it is hard to see the time on the machine. Great price for the product. Very Satisfied!

                          Great washer
                          Awesome washer that is very quiet. All the features are amazing. They are preset but you can still customize options.

                            Love this machine!
                            I only used it 3 times, but so far so good; it washes clothes really well, the machine itself looks great and it's easy to use. All the dials and buttons look intimidating at first, but it's actually user friendly, quiet and simply awesome!

                              Bigger than expected - Failed on door first week
                              It is big :) It has failed in the first week due to basic door sensor issue. GE service came in 1 week. Besides that, i like the height and the sound.

                                Washer develops strong unpleasant smell over time
                                We bought these for their size and from our dealer telling us there would be no mold/mildew. Unfortunately we have not had that experience despite changing soaps and cleaning filters per GE recommendations.

                                  It is a great washer. It does have an issue with balancing the loads and that increases the time for the washer to finish.

                                    Not Worth the Price
                                    I was replacing a high quality laundry GE Profile pair. I have always had GEs and have had good luck with their products. I bought this one online as Home Depot doesn't carry anything in the store. It isn't half the machine I had and the features are minimal at best. I do love the color and mine is quiet. It cleans just fine and the matching dryer does the same. This was the best Home Depot has in the GE line. It's a fine set, just extremely overpriced for the minimal features.

                                    It is built to last.
                                    I purchased the machine about six months ago, I am please wit the performance and chooses of cycles that it comes with.

                                        Best. Purchase. Ever. So far, I love this washer. I did a lot of research before buying the set and I have not been disappointed. I've had them for about 2 months now and they're very efficient. Not to mention, very pretty.

                                          Leaking and having trouble spinning
                                          I've had this washer for less than 2 months. From the beginning it always slams back and forth when getting ready to spin like its out of balance but does stop once it's spinning. Still highly annoying to hear. Now in the past week it has started to leak water out the front left of the machine leaving puddles on my floor. This is my 3rd ge machine and all have been junk. Very disappointed.

                                          Hello. Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your washer. I regret any inconvenience you are experiencing and I am happy to help. Please take a look at a few suggestions we have to offer regarding the vibration you are experiencing, found in our following link: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17446 Also, leaks on a front load washer can be caused by soil and soap being left on the door seal after a wash. Please be sure to carefully wipe off the rubber door seal to prevent small leaks, making sure to wipe the edge of the gasket. I hope this information is helpful to you. We appreciate your feedback.
                                            Love the design and quiet functionality
                                            I have always wanted this but I waited until my old reliable GE top load finally died on my. I absolutely love the look and most of all how extremely quiet it is.

                                                I have had it replace once for knocking sounds. The new one had the same problems, and parts were replaced.. Now it is doing the same thing again!!! Do not BUY this product would be my recommendation

                                                  I just received this washer and it's so much better than my last one! The capacity is huge which means fewer loads and more cost savings on water, detergent and energy. The look is great also. We have all GE appliances and love them!

                                                        After 1 year my washer started making noise and leaving white shavings in the load of laundry.
