Do not buy!

Never had any problems with previous washers. It's 3 months old and I have only used it about 20 times. It was fine at first but now it slams around during spin cycle. At 71 I know how to load a machine! I put a magnet on the cover control so I could leave the cover open and watch it through the entire cycle. This washer only puts about 6 inches of water into the drum on the rinse cycle causing the clothing to get caught on the agitator and thrown to one side. THIS MACHINE UNBALANCES ITSELF. I'll post again after the repair person leaves and let you know how GE handles this problem. I have always had positive results with GE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do not buy this machine!

we shopped around and bought this to replace a 14 year old washer that started having issues. now we have more issues. First thing we noticed is this washer will not rinse clothes clean unless you always use the Power Rinse Option. This machine is constantly off balance, nearly every load (whatever the size) makes it thump and jump and rattle around. In the last 3 days it has been off balance so badly that it has displaced the entire tub inside the washer so it rubs the inside of the case. The plastic lid that caps the inner and outer tub is broken in two places where it has contacted the frame of this washer. I have taken the front off both times and there are two little ears that sit down between 2 sheet metal bars, apparently there to keep the drum from moving too far to the right or left (and also to hold the shipping rod in place). The off balance situation caused one of the ears to bend and the entire unit (Drum is suspended by rods from the upper frame of the unit, which is thin sheet metal that has bent from the off balance conditions)had shifted over about 3 inches at the bottom, causing the belt to rub on a hose in the bottom of the washer. look at other reviews, here and elsewhere, you will see the same balance problems again and again. I don't know if there is a counterwieght on this model of washer, if there is it does not do the job it should. We have only had this washer 16 months, we were expecting to get 10-15 years out of it. We can hardly leave the room when this machine is running for fear that the washer will move enough to pull off a hose or smash a cabinet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Washer design needs more design engineering

The one feature that I liked was the agitation cycle. It is very gentle on clothing yet cleans well. However, the rinse is inadequate: the water would show that it was still had dirt in it. I usually backed it up for a 2nd rinse when I used a fabric softener.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this washer approximately 8 weeks ago. On or about the 10th load, it overflowed and flooded 3 rooms in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will not purchase GE in the future. They would not publish my review with low ratings so i gave high ratings.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not what I expected from a GE product.

Not the quality you expect from GE. It makes weird noises when it is about to start and during the cycle changes. It's sounds like a tin can. This washing machine does not meet my expectations of a GE product.
On the other hand, I have a GE refrigerator bought in 1985 with the computer and the little access door within the door, best in quality and working great after 29 years.

Spinning and Other Problems

I find left over soap powder around the tub. The machine does not spin dry heavier items like towels very well.

Very Disappointed

I didn't realize there was no gentle cycle or prewash/soak cycle. Very limited capabilities.
