Ratings and Q&A

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Noisy We love the beautiful ruby red color and all the features to choose from. The only draw back is it's noisy and it shakes sometimes. There's also an annoying clicking sound when you first start it (it spins a couple times, stops, then clicks, spins again, clicks, it does it about 3-4x)

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Waste of money. I’m big fan of GE appliance. I would never recommend this product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Failed on test cycle I really hope that my unit gets replaced in a timely manor. The washer failed at the last minute in the test cycle. Loud pop and smoke. 7 days of backed up laundry in a house of 4....not a good start!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Allergen cycle is fantastic I have sinus allergies and have been looking for a clothes washer that has a cycle for eliminating most of the dust mites. This GE model does and works fantastic. After washing my sheets and mattress pad I awoke with no allergic reactions to dust mites. Thank you!
