GE WCVH6600H

Pros: quiet running, variety of settings, front loading

Cons: detergent dispenser can be tricky, expensive pedestals

The Bottom Line: Recommended for families who need to get their laundry done but don't want to waste water and electricity.

Review: We purchased this washer when we bought our house. I had wanted a front loading washer for a while, tired of having to bend over and lift out wet clothes. The fact that it was energy efficient was also a plus. The first thing we noticed is that it ...

Pros: Appearance - guests always compliment us on our beautiful washer and dryer.

Cons: Most loads out of balance.
Wash time.
Rough on clothes.
Soap dispenser ineffective.

The Bottom Line: May best be used in front of a door to keep intruders out.

Review: This washer is horrible at best. We purchased this washer almost a year ago and have never been happy with it. Approximately 70% of all loads go out of balance and require manual redistribution of load. We thought at first that this was our fault because ...

Pros: Good price, low energy usage.

Cons: Won't spin correctly. No "rinse and spin" cycle. Takes much longer than it should.

The Bottom Line: STAY AWAY! All loads are out of balance! (Machine is properly leveled).

Review: Just got this GE washer less than 1 week ago. Repair service has been here twice and is scheduled again. This washer cannot spin with clothes in it. No matter what the load, it starts spinning at slow speed, then stops, turns left and right a few ...

Pros: None

Cons: Banging off balance
Rips clothes
Heavy

The Bottom Line: Do not buy if you want your clothes done properly, not ripped and have a quiet washing machine.

Review: WE bought the washer and dryer brand new from Best Buy. We had looked on Consumer Reports to get the one we should buy. I hate the washer.  My husband didn't believe me for the first year that it was the washer's fault that it kept going bang, bang, ...

Pros: Attractive and washes nicely when it works.

Cons: Unreliable, expensive to repair, and hard on clothes.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this machine.  It is unreliable and will cause many headaches as well as a sizable dent in your checking account after you pay for repairs.

Review: We had all GE appliances in our last house and we were always very satisfied not only with how they performed, but also with how quickly problems were resolved with GE.  When we moved into a new house and had to buy an new washer and dryer, I ...

Pros: LOOKS GOOD AND CAN HANDLE A BIG LOAD IF IT IS'NT BROKE

Cons: 1.5 HRS TO DO A NORMAL LOAD. RELIABILITY IS POOR @ BEST.

Review: THIS WASHER IS THE WORST MACHINE EVER, I HAVE HAD SEARS SERVICE COME OUT 7 TIMES AND IT STILL DOES'NT WORK RIGHT. THE COMPUTER HAS ALL KINDS OF ISSUES. THEIR RESOLUTION IS TO UN PLUG IT AND WAIT FOR COMPUTER TO RESET. THIS MACHINE TAKES WAY TOO LONG TO ...
