Do you have any info on the GE profile 5.3 model? Wanted to see is it worth spending an extra 200 for profile that's a little bigger. Or would the 5.0 model the better choice for the savings. Thanks for the great video

Your videos are so well presented. You provide everything we want to know about the product, its features, the pros, the cons. I also appreciate your sharing the models you use in your own home. No fluff, no hype, just honest presentations, and the caveat that while you're giving your personal preferences, the choice is ours. Well done!

I am glad people here are happy with GE. We have had issues with our front load washer seal. 5 times the seal has come off. We paid extra for a Assurance warranty. After this latest problem I contacted GE and so far they were absolutely no help at all. Each time the washer is a problem there is a two week wait for service. Cost of going to the laundromat is 150 dollars each two week period. After the 5th time I contacted GE and they were totally uninterested in assisting us. I see here where the company has aided customers who were out of warranty and that they have made design changes to their product. A word to the wise, do some research before purchasing this product.

@@danib915Hello, I chose the GE deluxe 850 model in white. Been having it for about 9 months now. So for it’s been great. I’ll admit I don’t use the 1-step wash and dry feature, but the main reason for choosing the 850 model is the large size, being I have a thick and large king size bed duvet to wash. It saves me trips to the laundry mat.

Hi! I know I'm late to this party but I just purchased the 850 series w/matching dryer based in large part by this excellent review. I have a few comments for those considering the GE line. Firstly, I agree with the video that between the three, the 650 is the way to go. My dealer didn't have it in stock, so I went up to the 850, as mentioned. However, since this video's publication, there is a new GE Profile model (PFW950) positioned above this trio by GE Appliances. I regret not having purchased this upgraded washer/dryer combo. Although the differences between this new entry largely lies in its expanded software that offers significant features like being able to have the machine learn your preferences for each cycle, it also adds a much-needed moisture sensor to the UltraFresh System, so that it is based on dryness, not just time. Do yourself a favor and check out this one if you're considering GE.

@joshuabanks399 Месяц назад

I’m in the market for 650 or 850 and now I learned about the 950 that also gets the Profile branding. Is the 950 really worth the extra about $1000 over the 650?

@markbloyd9852 Год назад

A friend of ours recently had the whole house electrical wiring replaced, and the circuit breaker kept tripping on the washer and dryer for them, as well. They called the company about it, and were told that the new gfci circuit breakers were smart, and would learn to handle the machines. Turns out they were right, and there hasn't been a problem since. Only took a few goes. Hope this helps others in this situation.

@salvanas702 Год назад

Was there a fix? or did they have to replace the gfci breakers to something else. Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased the GE 650 washer (and dryer) after enduring 8 months of nightmarish hell from LG. My brand new $3000k+ set never worked right from Day 1 and LGs customer service was so abysmal that it took 8 months to finally get them to admit that the units were faulty and refund me for them. I will never buy another LG product as long as I live! Happy to hear the GE machines sound so wonderful, and cheaper than the LGs I purchased and hopefully better customer service. My new units arrive in 5 days, I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

How have they been????

@quiltsick 2 года назад

I have had my 650 model for a few weeks. It is the best washer I have ever owned & there have been many. I had a GE set 25 or so years ago & really disliked them but technology has changed. One of the reasons for my purchase of the 650 was the Microban technology. My laundry is in the basement & even tho my dehumidifier is on 24/7 my old Whirlpool Bravos front loader had a real mold issue in the dispenser tray. When I discovered it I worked a long time trying to clean it. After that I removed at the end of any laundry day & dried it out the best I could & left it out & then sprayed the inside with alcohol. That took care of about 90% of the problem. I am still removing the tray in the 650 out of habit. My only problem so far is the Sound button. I only get 2 sound levels instead of 4 & the 2 I have are useless. I could hear the end of a cycle upstairs when my Whirlpool finished. Also my Wifi app notifies me when a load will be finished in 5 min. I wish it would alert me when is it done also. I have not purchased the dryer yet. Patiently waiting for my old Maytag dryer to die. I replace the heating element 3-4 yrs ago & it is still working really well. But I really need the new dryer & pedestal because of body issues. My hubby offered to buy me the dryer also but I declined. Now I am thinking about selling the dryer so I can buy the GE dryer 😎 Thanks for a great video!

I would not do this for all loads but I do have some that I would like more water. The only problem I had is with a load today that I was using prewash with oxyclean. I selected no detergent since it was still in there but the machine would not let me do the prewash with no detergent selected. I am going to start experimenting some more & write my successes down, lol

@puppyeyescraft Год назад

Thank you for the video! I like this washer but I'm wondering if I should buy this model because I'm afraid it will cause problems when cleaning the pump filter. LG and Samsung have a small hose to drain the water before removing the pump filter, so you don't have to worry about flooding the floor. But the GE washers don’t have that hose. Even if you put a towel and a container underneath to catch water, there is only space for a relatively low container, so I am worried that the floor will be flooded every time I clean it. Have you ever felt any difficulty in cleaning it?

Annie, I have the 650 washer with pedestal. I initially had too much vibration compared to my previous washer. GE sent a repairman out who was almost as small as I am & he was awesome how he handled that big machine. He actually came out to get my GE app back online. Due to installing ADT doorbell camera we changed the wifi code & could not get the machine to accept it. He brought new parts & got me back online & leveled the machine perfectly! I still want the dryer but won't purchase till my current one dies. It has had the heating element replaced for almost $400 & it is 11 or 12 yrs old now so not sure how long I will have to wait, lol If you do buy the set I hope you love it. I would love it more if I didn't have to go to the basement to do laundry!

Question: I own this duo, and use the automatic detergent dispenser with liquid Tide all the time. However, I would like to occasionally use my Arm & Hammer washing soda, which is a powder, in conjunction with the detergent for certain loads. Arm & Hammer recommends using a quarter cup of powder at the beginning of the wash cycle along with your detergent. Is there any way to do this conveniently? May I set the wash cycle for the auto dispenser as well as put the powder into the tray (after flipping the little flap over for powder)? What I have been doing thus far is I have been dissolving the washing powder in a little water, letting the machine get started with the auto dispenser for the liquid Tide, then pausing the machine and pouring in the powder/water combo right into the washer before proceeding.

Since you actually own and use a GE machine, I’d like to pick your brain if possible, we pretty much have decided on the 850 model, what I would like to know, is not having the height without removing and remodel, we would go with the 7 inch pedestal instead of the larger ones, are they as sturdy as the 16 inch, or no !!!, also do you recommend vibration pads on these machines, or are they not needed.

Lots of great detail in here -- do you happen to have an updated version of this video to cover the new 950 (Profile) series washers & dryers? I just ordered a set because my tried & true Kenmore front loader just failed over the weekend. Also, you mentioned an anticipated 10 year lifespan -- is that really accurate? if so, that's a bit disappointing since the set I'm replacing lasted a full 20 years doing on average 4-5 loads per week. Although my Kenmore set was made in Germany, so the build quality was somewhat exceptional to begin with. I was hoping that by purchasing in this price range, I'd get close to that longevity again.

I’ve had my 850 for 15 months. Two weeks ago it stopped draining. We checked the drain line (clear), drain filter (clear), and replaced the drain pump. Still not draining. From what I can tell this is a common issue with the 850 as well as the 650. Based off other owner reviews, it’s an electrical or motherboard issue that is more expensive to fix than to purchase a new machine. So disappointed to be buying two new appliances (since mine are stacked only 15 months) after doing my due diligence and researching for over a month when I purchased this nightmare. Do NOT do it folks! The number of 1 star reviews in the last year for these machines are unimaginable.

@appliancealliance4444 2 года назад

7:00 this is only half true. GE has two tiers when it comes to appliance repair service “Factory Service” and “Customer Care” customer care is 3rd party. I’m a customer care technician that can perform warranty work for Ge however the reason companies don’t invest their time is not because they get paid a flat rate but because they don’t get paid well. most companies pay a total of around $100 in labor for each completed repair, not per trip, completed repair.

for the 850 washer is the door hinge on the left or right? Are you able to move the door to the other side?

To prevent mold leave the washer open for a couple of days to dry

@quiltsick 2 года назад

leaving it open & the dispenser did not keep the mold out of my Whirlpool front loader. It was a constant battle even thos I dried it as much as I could. The dispenser area was terrible. After I cleaned it as well as I could I dried it out each time I was done & sprayed alcohol in the dispenser area. It helped some but it is not as good as the blue Microban of the GE. I do hope it lasts a long time.

This is one if the washers we are considering. But I heard from a few salespeople in our area (NC) that all front load washers nowadays have antimicrobial materials in the gasket and detergent drawer. We asked LG and Samsung and they both said they do. So is the only thing really that sets the GE ultrafresh apart from the others is the venting system (which could be made up for by leaving the doors open after doing laundry)? The low ratings of GE washers in consumer reports has me nervous about buying this washer over LG.

Is there any way just to use spin only when there is no option on that on washer?

@Blurain727 2 года назад

How to put the machine into drain & spin: Set the washer to rinse & spin, you'll notice the extra rinse option is automatically selected. If you turn off the extra rinse option, your machine will now run a drain & spin! No water will enter the machine.

I wish they had smart dispense for fabric softener also. They had it before.

@@DesignerAppliances I always use fabric softener in my laundry. They should also consider adding a smart dispenser for chlorine bleach that works on the whites cycle.

Nice video. My issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has the same issue. When it is washing there isn’t a lot of water barely any. I’m use to seeing my clothes take a bath not barely wet wash. Help with any suggestions I’m still under warranty. Anyone have the same issue? Thanks 😊

Can u use pods in this washer instead of liquid detergent

@DesignerAppliances 2 года назад

You can but we recommend the detergent dispenser for best washing results. If you are a loyal pod user, we recommend the newest Electrolux washer which actually has a pod dispenser. The dispenser prevents the pod plastic from melting/sticking to your clothes.

I have purchased the very first LG front loaders in the market back in 2006. These cost over 5000 dollars in 2006 and adjusted for inflation is over 8000 dollars. First page on the manual talked about how to keep the front loader clean and avoid mold. After 16 years they are still in use with ZERO mold if you take care of them properly.

I have and love the GE Ultra vent 850 model. The problem I’m having is that pet hair clings to the microbial rim and it’s hard to remove. I don’t like the fact that I have to put dirty clothes in the dryer to repel dog hair, then place in the washer. A wet paper towel doesn’t work. Please advise. Thanks

@jasonredepenning 2 года назад

Get rid of the dog or place it in the dryer once à week to get rid of loose hairs.

@SanJose408Alex Год назад

@@jasonredepenning absolutely. getting rid of your fur ball is the best option, but placing them in the dryer on a low tumble does wonders. I second this 👍

@pink20018 2 года назад

Hi, I am curious, I just bought this washer, and when I turned on the venting after I finished whole day washing, it was working about the whole night, then the next day morning I checked the machine, the glass door and the rubber seal were still wet and had water there, I thought it should be completely dry? If not dry how to prevent mildew? How is yours? Thank you!

@Todd.T 2 года назад

Mine is completely dry. It does 480 minutes of venting. I don't use the feature often, I just leave the door open and run bleach on the clean cycle once every month and a half. Had mine since January 2021. I also skip wiping the door gasket because I find condensation forms on the glass and then drips on the gasket.

@quiltsick 2 года назад

Mine is always dry after using that cycle but I do wipe the inside of the door dry & somewhat dry the rubber seal, & remove the soap dispenser & dry it off some & put folded up paper towels int he bleach & softener dispenser. It takes no time to do that. I don't want nightmares after my last washer.

@chaoticstylez 2 года назад

Why don’t they drain on the spin cycle or why can’t you manually run the spin cycle? I’m constantly having soaked clothes after a normal wash. My machines are new, BTW.
