      Great product at a good price
      We have had this washer for about 4 months. It is used every third day. It is relatively quiet, it does make noise, what washer doesn't. No fancy electronics to go bad. It has pretty basic knob controls that are easy to understand and use. Lid locks for safety but all you have to do is hit pause and it will unlock. Glad with my purchase.

        Sucks
        It locks whenever you start a load. If you want to add something or do anything, you have to paise it and it takes about 4-5 minutes for the thing to unlock so you can open the top. I accidentally pulled a little too hard, and now the piece that locks is broke, and the thing won’t even work at all. So now I got to deal with repairman, etc. It’s made really cheaply and it’s garbage. I made a mistake purchasing this don’t do the same.

                              Simple is better!
                              About 15 years ago, we bought a GE washer, very nearly identical to this one. It was a great machine, and was utterly reliable. Later, we got a fancier one. We gave the GE to our son. The newer one was computerized. It was never consistent, sometimes using a large amount of water, which we wanted, but sometimes it would not dispense any water at all. We realized that the simple, analog GE was really the better machine. So, now we've bought another analog machine, and love it!

                                  Multiple settings, and clothes look great when dry usually needing no ironing or just a touch up at most. Large capacity - dried a large quilt quite easily.

                                      The machine work well good for the price nice and large. However the hose is cheap like a straw no weight to it so the first time i used it. It flooded my basement. I complained i thoughtvthey were sending someone to replace the hose 1 person come out he dont have a clue call back again they sent somebody back he doesnt have a hose. So i was so irked i talked to 4 or 5 people. So i have a new washer with the hose being held down with a hanger and string to hold it in place from when the water release is released.

                                        Wow I am a contractor and let me tell you… properly used this washing machine will wash anything out of your clothes ! It’s so good I’ve never had a washing machine that takes the grime out of jeans even a pressure washer couldn’t get it lol! I had a pair of jeans that had smeared bearing grease couldn’t even tell! But this machine will… hands down they make the best machines on the market! You can not go wrong and will not regret these awesome machines literally if they made everything we’d be in a perfect world !

                                          broke within five months
                                          we purchased brand new about five months ago. it worked great until it didn’t. i really had no complaints about the unit. it cleaned very well, it just had some weird quirks i wasn’t used to like long pauses and what i am assuming are safety features i didn’t expect. like if you don’t close the lid before starting the initial fill, it will drain completely when it goes to switch to wash mode but it locks when filling when it’s closed so if you forgot an item or two, it’s impossible to add them once you’ve started. ANYWAY, i did a small load yesterday and when i went to put it in the drier the clothing was SOPPING WET. i mean a two year old could wring out more water than the washer did. i never overload the machine, 90% of my laundry is baby clothes. so i set it to drain and spin and the cycle started, it sounded as if it was spinning but then this awful banging noise like the motor works but it’s not catching the basket to spin it. idk. i’m not a washing machine expert.

                                          Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for your washer. Sorry to hear about the issues you've had with your unit, we're sure this would be frustrating to deal with. You are able to add clothing to the washer after a cycle has started if you've forgotten something. To do so, press Start/Pause if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid Lock indicator on the display is no longer illuminated before attempting to open the lid. Then, you can lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the basket. After that, close the lid and press Start to resume. For the out of balance issues, loading properly and making sure your washer is level are very important. For some loading tips, we'd recommend taking a look at page 15 of your Use and Care manual, here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-3000255-2.pdf - and for more out of balance tips, you can see this article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17445&_ga=2.135363577.933226275.1664221150-1990870561.1664221150 If none of this helps, then service may be needed. Our team can be found here should you need to reach out: https://www.hotpoint.com/appliance-support/ We do hope this helps. We're always here if you have other questions or concerns.

                                              It works great but…
                                              It is a nice looking machine with great options but I gotta get use to the water level as far as what it thinks a small, medium and large load is. And it is noisy during the “wash” cycle. I have it in my hallway and my last old refurbished one I had for 22 years was way quieter. That’s really my only complaint.

                                                Nice and big
                                                I got this washer from home depot for my apartment. The size is 27 inches across but the tub inside is huge. This easily fit my queen comforter and some other things. It ran a full cycle on large load,medium colors settings cquickly. The only negative is that it is very loud. The noise is not jarring but it there is no effort to buffer the sound of this machine. I personally don't mind it but it's something to consider. It's very old fashioned looking. It looks very similar to what I grew up with in the 70s except for the cycles menu is far better. So if you don't mind noise or don't care about looks this might be good for you too.

                                                  Constantly off balance
                                                  Don't buy this washer unless you like sitting at home and babysitting your washer until you're done doing all your loads. No matter how carefully I distribute the clothes in the basket, or how many items I put in it, it shoves everything over in a tight wad on one side of the basket and has to be corrected. Sheets, towels, clothes, underwear. Doesn't matter. Nine out of 10 loads has to be stopped and redistributed.

                                                  Hello - We're sorry to hear that your clothes are not distributing evenly inside the basket during a wash. We can understand how frustrating that would be to need to babysit your washer, and this is not the experience we want you to have. We apologize for the trouble this has caused and would love to help. Ensure the unit is level and all four leveling legs are firmly on the floor. If it's not, adjust all four leveling legs until the washer is level left-to-right and front-to-back. To level the washer, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. If this does not fix the issue, service may be needed. If you haven't already, you can schedule service by calling 800-432-2737. We hope this helps! -Shayla@GEA GE_Appliances
