I love this washerStrengths: Super quiet run time Weakness: Longer cycles I have been wanting a front load washer for quite a while and when my standard washer died a few weeks ago, I finally bought one. This GE washer is everything I thought it would be and more. It is super quiet, I can actually be on the phone right next to it and hear the conversation. I love that my clothes come out so clean with so little water used. Also I can wash larger loads than before saving me time on laundry. The cycle is much longer than the old standard washer, taking about an hour to complete, but since it does twice the amount of laundry, it really saves me the time in between switching the laundry in and out of the machine. I bought it's sister dryer along with it, and the wash and dry times are scarily right on time with each other, and with the signal that you can set on, the laundry doesn't sit there forever forgotten until you put it in the dryer. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

the worse machine everStrengths: inexpensive Weakness: doesn't consistantly work I have had this washer for a month and had 6 service calls. GE does not stand behind product or GE cares. The washer never completes cycles and will stop in different cycles altogether. It can take up to 4 hours to do a load of laundry.Maybe electronics are not the answer and they should go back to turn knobs. My electronic panel has been replaced already and it still doesn't work. Absolutely hate this machine. I am not a 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

The best front loader for the moneyStrengths: Half the price of comparable front loaders. Saves energy. Great at washing clothes Weakness: Delayed start only has on setting (8 hours) this is a minor issue. You can't beat this washer and matching dryer. The washer was about $550 and the matching dryer about $450. I bought them about 5 months ago and my power and water bill have both dropped dramatically. This is my second set of Front Loading washer. My first front loader was a Neptune about 8 years ago. This was a huge mistake. The Neptune had mold issues and ending up blowing a $400 circuit board after about 3 years. I bought this matching GE set for about the same price as the JUST the Neptune washer. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Great WasherStrengths: Quiet, reduces drier time, save water and electricity Weakness: None. Because of the price this washer is considered an "entry level" washer, but I this washer is big on value. I particularly like the way this washer reduces drying time by eliminating water from the clothes in the spin cycle. The clothes come out of the washer almost dry. Excellent machine! 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

ONE LARGE PIECE OF Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Strengths: Door leeks water when in service. Door is hard to secure. Rust problems Weakness: This GE washer is one large piece of crap!Door hinges rusted & had to be replaced by us.. Warrenty & Eended war is a joke ! No coverage for our problems. Door locking problems. Door handle problems. In just over 1 years time the loader door hinges rusted out. The door rusted threw. The door handle cracked and had to be hot glued in order to keep it in place. The extended warranty was also a piece of crap. When calling in for help about the door & hinge problems, I was told they are cosmetic & the warranty dose not cover the problems I experienced. I had to replace the door hinges my self with piano hinges purchased from ACE Hardware. I have hot glued the plastic door handle about four times now. I took the door apart and sprayed painted the inside with Rest-Oleum Primer paint to stop the rusting. I am now having to replace this piece of crap washer in less than three years. GE You Suck. What ever happened to MADE IN AMERICA WITH PRIDE?Never again will I purchase a GE appliance. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

good front-load washerStrengths: competitive price, save on water and detergent Weakness: cannot automatically adjust water temperature, longer cycle This washer has all the basic functions you need and all the advantages you expect from a front-load model. Its low price makes it stand out from its competitors. You don't really need special detergent. One fifth of the amount of regular detergent you used in top-load washer will do the job. Because the washer cannot sense the temperature of incoming water to make automatic adjustment, you need to be careful if you live in an area with very cold winter. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

A good, solid washing machineStrengths: quiet cycles, space saver, variety of cycles, price, front loader , price, and stainless steel drum. Weakness: Plastic seal requires routine care to prevent mold I have been sold on front loading washing machines ever since I purchased my first one back in 1999, a first generation Maytag Neptune. Well, I learned alot about the pros and cons of front loaders from the Neptune. About a month ago my Neptune stopped functioning so I had to replace it. I shopped around and debated whether to spend the extra money to get a front loader knowing the problems I had with the Neptune. 97% of readers found this review helpful.

Excellent Washer, great price, lower your energy...Strengths: Washes clothes well, leaves them almost dry, uses a lot less water, automatic settings, capacity Weakness: None thus far I purchased this washer after my traditional, top loader died. I wanted it primarily for the Energy Star Rebate, but came away with a machine that has revolutionized the way I wash clothes. It has cut my wash/dry time by 60% by reducing the number of loads (due to the huge capacity) and, most importantly, cutting drying time by a ton. 83% of readers found this review helpful.

opinion on WSSH300GWW front loading washerStrengths: very gentle on all cycles,uses little water,quiet for the most part Weakness: When the spin cycle starts is when the machine makes it's most noise We got our machine at Home Depot, they had the best price. I stuff it with towels all the time and they come out clean. So far I've been happy with it for the cost. Very user friendly even for the kids! 0% of readers found this review helpful.

I love it
Strengths: SUPER QUIET, FRONT LOADING, ENERGY WATER & DETERGENT SAVER
Weakness: DIFFICULT TO PUT CLOTHES INTO
I love my new washer. I didn't know it was going to be so quiet. We had it installed today and I was going to try it out and to my amazement I found out that my wife had beaten me to it and had already thrown a load in and it was still running. Our old washer would make so much noise, we couldn't run it and watch TV at the same time. I knew that it would save money on water and electricity too, but you also save TONS of money on detergent... think about it, less water, less detergent needed. How awesome is that? I would have bought one of these years ago had I known that. The only drawback I've encountered so far may just be something I need to get used to using a top loader until now - I had a hard time getting all the clothes in, they kept falling out before I could shut the door. Other than that, 2 loads done already and no problems whatsoever. My mom also told me that the front loaders cause less wear and tear on your clothes than the top loaders. If you're still on the fence, you can get some nice energy star rebates, check your local power company.
