Review 1 for 3.5 cu. ft. King-Capacity Top Load Washer in White

PostedSeptember 25, 2010
Purchased 5/18/07-coririson under the agitator. Foul smell and brown particles thourhgout the clothing over time .I filtered the incoming water, santizied the entire inside of the washer weekly trying to eliminate the odor and had no luck. Finally, I took the agitator off and found heavy corrison. like you can not imagine! If you saw this washer today, it appears to be in mint condition inside the tub and outside but it has a sever problem in the internal design. There is always water remaining somewhere inside the machine causing the corrosion to reoccur. We are only 2 senior citizens using this washer so it does not get abused in anyway.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Awesome product!
,PostedSeptember 18, 2010
This machine is all it's advertised to be. High capacity, variable wash/rinse/water temperature cycles and, and extremely quiet. After owning a washer that was almost 20 years old, I had to check to make sure it was working. It is that quiet. My clothes were cleaned well, and seemed to have less wrinkles. (That may be perception on my part.) All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone.
Yes, I recommend this product.

MODEL WHDRR418GWW
,PostedJune 12, 2010
I ordered this washing machine for my legally blind daughter - her son explained the knobs to her, and she was off to the races. She says that it is a great size, and much quieter that her previous, old machine. She is extremely pleased with it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

No problems to speak of
,PostedMay 11, 2010
Got the washer delivered last week and I have no complaints. The unit isnt too loud (its in my basement so I dont notice it), delivery guys were great and I've run about 10 loads so far with no problems. The controls are very straight forward which is perfect for me.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 6 for 3.5 cu. ft. King-Capacity Top Load Washer in White
Overall rating
Nice
,PostedMarch 20, 2010
It's been quite a while since I've had a new washer so it is taking time getting used to it but so far I like it. It is very quiet and does a good job washing clothes. I especially like the extra large tub. The only thing I don't like is the sensor that turns it off when you lift the lid. I wanted to see how it agitates but can't. With the old washers you could just hold the button down so the machine would continue to run when you opened the lid. Think I will like it more and more as I get used to it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 7 for 3.5 cu. ft. King-Capacity Top Load Washer in White
Overall rating
Very Poor machine
,PostedMarch 19, 2010
I bought this machine 1.5 years ago and have had to have it repaired for the same thing 4 times in 18 months. The problem is that it stops agitating and spinning, it will only fill with water and then drain it out. I also have had problems with this machine with not wringing out the water all of the way. I am usually left with about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the drum and the clothes at the bottom are still very wet and/or soaked. I will have to put it on the spin cycle again to get the remainder of the water out and that ends up leaving soap residue on the clothes. I have called GE and complained to them and they are helping me buy another machine--they are pro-rating the cost of the new machine. I was very glad to read the reviews of the machines that I am interested in buying and found that the more expensive model had very poor ratings while the least expensive model had all good remarks. Here's hoping no one else gets stuck with this model, if you do, call GE and see what they can do for you.
No, I do not recommend this product.

New fangled agitator
,PostedFebruary 5, 2010
I purchased this washer two months ago. I was skeptic of the new style agitator because it was so small. It is gentle on the clothes, but I feel it does not get the clothes as clean as my old machine. You must make sure all heavy soil and spots are pretreated. If you husband works in construction or your kids play football, I would not recommend this machine. It does use less water than the old machine, but that may be the reason it doesn't clean as well. It is very quiet and wrings the clothes out nicely.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 9 for 3.5 cu. ft. King-Capacity Top Load Washer in White
Overall rating
A Great Buy for the Price!!
,PostedJanuary 25, 2010
I bought this washer just a tad over a month ago to replace my 3 year old, slow, stinky, and noisey Maytag! What a world of difference this washer is compared to the Maytag and it is much quieter as well. It cleans the cloths very well, even on the easy care cycle. I have put this washer through the ringer this past month and it is holding up just fine! One thing to note is you donot want to overload this washer as it tends to put a strain on the motor and it will not wash as good also. So far so good; will report if problems arise later on down the road.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 10 for 3.5 cu. ft. King-Capacity Top Load Washer in White
Overall rating
I LOVE IT
,PostedJanuary 23, 2010
I finally decided I needed to replace my 17 year old Kenmore washer because it was making strange noises. I'm not much into change and decided I would be perfectly happy with another top loader. So that was the first descision I made. In shopping for a new washer I learned that most of the washers now have a water sensor. This is when the washer senses how many clothes you have in the washer and decides how much water you need to have to get the clothes clean. I didn't want that. Also, it was important to me to be able to open the washer door in the middle of the wash cycle. I always seem to find something I forgot to put in the washer after the load has been started. This washer has both of these features. The tub is large, the machine is very quite, and the clothes come out clean. Just one other note. I'm 5 foot even and to reach into the bottom of the tub requires a bit of a strech. I did my homework and am very happy with my new washer and I loved the price. The delivery people were very professional. A bit trivia. When I dug out the paperwork for my 17 year old nothing fancy Kenmore washer I found it interesting that I had actually paid $32.00 more dollars for the Kenmore then I paid for my new washer.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 11 for 3.5 cu. ft. King-Capacity Top Load Washer in White

Not a good washer
,PostedJanuary 16, 2010
I usally try to leave good reviews, however i can not on this washer. Before i bought this washer and dryer set, my old ones "15 years old" took out on me. At the time I didnt have the money to buy a new washer and dryer so I bought a used set for $50 which lasted me around 2 years. When they finally did their last load, I bought this set. Right off the bat, I could tell the washer didnt get my clothes as clean as any other that I had had. In the summertime, my clothes actually had a soured smell to them. I blamed it on my deturgent and swapped 3-4 times b/f i realized it was the washer. Well, summer went away and the soured smell did also. I decided before summer came around again this year, i would call the service man and have him take care of it. I have had this washer for 1 year and 3 months now. Service man said he cant fix it with out replacing the motor b/c the motor wasnt giving enough power to agitate and looked like it wouldnt be working at all before to much longer. That was 3 weeks ago. About one week after he left, my washer started sticking on cycles...all cycles. I would have to manually move it from cycle to cycle. Again "my one year was up, no warranty" motor needed to be fixed and it would cost a lil over $200. And finally last week, it stopped all together, so now i have to go get a new washer or pay almost as much as a new washer to get this one fixed. I do not recommend this washer and dryer set to anyone. The dryer also makes noises and takes forever to dry. I borrowed a washer from my sister this week to do my laundry and i can wash 2 loads, almost 3 b/f the dryer drys one load. This washer is a lg brand. If I had it to do over again, which I guess i do, I will not/am not buying another GE brand. Appliances just are not made like they used to be. This time I will be buying a LG!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Walk away
,PostedOctober 21, 2009
I'm not happy with this washer at all! I have had it for a little over a year and have already had to call customer service. For no reason, this washer will get stuck in the middle of a cycle! It happens in the wash cycle or in the rinse cycle or in the spin cycle. I have cleaned the hoses and that's not the problem. Now that it is a year old, I no longer have warranty coverage on it so I'm stuck with it! If I could throw it out the window and get a new one, I would. I really wish you could 'test drive' washers!!! I mean really, it's a year old! I can see this happening after several years of use, but after a year! And we are only a 3 person family! I would not recommend this washer at all! Oh, and I'm not impressed with it's cleaning ability, either! Booo!!!
No, I do not recommend this product.

GE Washer
,PostedOctober 19, 2009
My old washer was 12 years old and I didn't realize how poor the performance was until I bought this washer. It takes some getting used to--the unusual noises it makes since it does not have a traditional transmission and clutch apparatus. I like the load capacity. I intentionally tried to overload the machine to see how it would perform. I was surprised when the entire cycle completed and the clothes were evenly distributed and not wrung into knots. The clothes were cleaner with less wrinkles. They were just moist which meant that my new dryer could work more efficiently.I like having all the optional cycles available, especially the 2nd rinse. I hope one year from now I am as satisfied as I am after one week.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Thrilled to wash with water again!
,PostedOctober 10, 2009
kcity
After 5 years of having my dirty laundry sprinkled with water to get it cleaned, I am thrilled to have a tub that fills with water and can soak away the dirt and give me clean clothes again! This washer is extremely quiet, holds a ton of clothes and they all come out clean and fresh smelling. The spin is strong enough that I barely use a dryer to get them dry. And the price was about $400! I will never go back to a water misting, clothes knotting washing machine again!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Best Washer
,PostedSeptember 16, 2009
This is one of the best washers I have ever used. I was skeptical making an internet purchase of such a large ticket item, but due to my busy work schedule...I needed to solve this issue in a short time period as the laundry was stacking up. I love the large 3.5 size drum, it can wash a king size comforter with ease and the machine is so quiet that we wondered if it was working. The dials are easy to understand and I like having a super size level of water choice if I have a huge load, it saves on running numerous loads. The auto soak feature is a plus too. I feel like we always get top quality with GE products and this washer has proved again that it is a good product for the money.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Transmission bad after 1 year.
,PostedAugust 25, 2009

We purchased this washing machine based on Consumer Reports' suggestion. The transmission failed after our warranty had expired. We complained to GE and they gave us a new transmission but the labor cost was $268.50. Not built to handle large loads even though it says King size.
No, I do not recommend this product.

very quiet
,PostedAugust 7, 2009
I love this washer. My old one was 15 years old and very loud. I put a load of towels in the first time I used the washer and thought I over loaded it and broke it because I didn't hear it running. It has many different sounds while it is going through the cycles but they are all normal and described in the manual.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This washer quit after 23 months of moderate use
,PostedJuly 15, 2009
I bought this washer in August of 07. We used if for a family of 4 for 23 months. I paid a repair man $85 to find out the the motor needs to be replaced. The repair would cost $485.00 which is more than the cost of a new washer. I looked up the Part and it is $190.00. I researched this washer on Consumer Reports but I guess that was a waste of money buying that subscription too.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I just bought this product on 6/16/2009 and first time use, the water pulls into the washer and drains out before going on to the next cycle. Wasted water!! Thanks for the one year warranty but I would prefer a replacement washer...I have a bad feeling that there will be more problems down the road!!
