4.5 cu. ft. Top Load Washer with Deep Fill in White

I was a proud owner of a GE washer/dryer for 25 years with zero maintenance. I was spoiled. I know they don't make them like they used to and I have accepted that. I did some research before I purchased again. I had a few wants and needs. I did not want digital because that is more that could go wrong. I wanted options such as top load, spin only, extra spin, different water levels, but most of all I didn't want the stupid lock that locks the washer lid so you can't add clothes or take clothes out. I started there. Went on U-tube and found out which ones could easily be disabled. I know, I know. Not safe right? I don't have kids!!!!!!!!!! Gives us an option when it comes to whether we want the stupid lid lock. Next, I wanted customer service, to be able to reach someone in the UNITED STATES! I looked at Maytag, LG, Speed Queen, and a few others. Guess what?? The only person I could reach by phone in the US? GE. So I chatted with the rep, went on line to check the lid lock thing again, watched some U-Tube videos and went for it. Purchased washer with matching dryer. I expected to hate it. I was pleasantly wrong. I don't hate it. I don't adore it like my last one but I am happy with what I discovered and I have listed them. Pro: 1. The lid only locks during the spin cycle!!! You can lift the lid while the water is filling and while it is washing. Con: If it gets unbalanced during the spin cycle, you have to wait until a couple minutes before the lid unlocks. Pro: This model is super easy to disable the lid lock and fool the machine. I haven't done it yet, it is on my list. Pro: The normal - light color cycle seems to be the fastest. Con: The quick cycle seems to run forever so I stick with the colored one. Pro: You can put the water level on any level and move it to a higher level and it will continue to add water. Con: The water levels are ridiculous! It is sensor loaded and I wash a lot of sheets. Maybe they don't weigh enough but you have to pay attention to the levels to make sure you have enough water. The low levels would probably wash a few socks. It is pretty much worthless unless you are doing a delicate cycle. The medium level is barely higher than the low level. The max level is barely more than the high level. I have settled on the high level for all my loads. Pro: Lets go back to the water levels. Not much positive to mention Con: I would suggest you learn the levels of water before doing a wash. You can never fill the tub up with clothes. There isn't a water level to cover them all. The highest level is about mid-tub height. Pro: The wash cycle seems to get clothes clean but my clothes don't get that dirty. Con: The washer barely moves while it is washing. It always seems to be on the delicate cycle minus five. I wonder if it is broken sometimes but that seems to be the way it is. It soaks longer than anything. Pro: They warned me the wash cycle is loud and noisy. It isn't. It is different than my last washer but it isn't an issue. Pro: Spin cycle seems to be okay. Con: Can get off balanced if you have sheets or something large, probably because the tub is so large. Pro: If the machine breaks, they sell at a good price so easily replaceable. Pro: The top of the washer and dryer are flat so anything can be placed on top. I saw some models (LG maybe) that were slanted so anything placed on top would slide right off. Dumb idea. Con: I wish the top of the washer and dryer didn't slant down on the sides because there is a space when pushed together so things full between them.

I’m 60 and this is the worst washer I’ve ever owned. It’s noisy, but the worst problem is that it doesn’t filter out lint when it drains. I wash a load of dark delicates (with no other lint bearing items,) and they come out covered in lint. I hang most clothes to dry so I have to lint roll even T-shirts and dark jeans. It’s ridiculous and I’m very dissatisfied with this washer.

Very loud and rough on clothes. Big mistake purchasing

Works fine, easy to use, Speed Wash cycle is super. Only issue is the wash cycle is too loud.

Has all the bells and whistles my wife wants. Fair price, made by a company that has a great reputation.

Decided to go with a topload washer after having a front load for many years. This machine is so noisy. Anytime someone comes over and hears it asks what's wrong with it. Just realized yesterday that the tub has rust spots in it. How is that even possible? Extremely disappointed with this machine. Having had a front load washer prior to this one, I've always left the door open after running a load. I did the same with this machine so it would dry out before I closed the lid.

My previous machine was only about 6 years old (not GE)but I couldn’t deal with the frustration anymore! I’ve used my new GE clothes washer twice and it is the answer to my prayers. Laundry day has NEVER been easier. Thanks GE!

Love my new washer and dryer that I bought online from Home Depot. Delivery was earlier than expected and installation was seamless. They had everything they needed for installation, and it was well worth having Home Depot do it for me!

Had enough of other brands' electronic touchpad failures. Back to the old standby twisty knob selectors.

Have had the washer for a week and a half and so far so good. Was used to digital display showing remaining time left in wash cycle but can't really ding this machine for that since we new it when we bought it. But miss that feature.
