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

[@Beamacaleone]

This is the best washing machine ever. To the people saying the washer stinks after a load. That just means you don't know how to operate the washer. I had mines for 2 years it has NEVER smelled bad. The vent feature is amazing..

[@LauraMartinez-ip7qk]

I decided to buy this set after renting a new build for two years and had great experience with this GE front load washes and dryer that was included in the home. Before, I didn’t believe in front load because of the smell/mold issue that I’ve heard of, however after using this set for 2 yrs I never had an issue so when I bought my new home I chose this set. I recommend.

[@joycecummings3243]

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.

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]

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?

[@quiltsick]

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!

[@lbvillarreal]

How is your washer holding up? Have you had any problems with mold? I'm looking into buying the set but im worried about the mold issue.

[@quiltsick]

@@lbvillarreal I still love it! Absolutely no mold! Believe me I check! I do take out the dispenser when I done with laundry for the day & dry out that interior & the door & interior blue rim, doesn't take long at all. I also run the venting cycle when I am done. I hope it lasts a long time! I don't think you will be sorry if you buy it!

[@lbvillarreal]

@@quiltsick thank you so much for your reply!

[@quiltsick]

@@lbvillarreal you are welcome. I also experimented yesterday by starting a load & letting the water come in & start to tumble. Then I turned off the machine & switched to another cycle but did not turn it on. Then I went back to the original cycle & started it again & was able to have more water in the load! 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

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.

[@nvdirtfreakful]

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 🤞

I also had the matching dryer. they did their job. 4-8 loads every single week including king size bed sheets and comforters. 6 people in our house. I just upgraded to the latest model. As far as the mold issue people talk about with front loaders. I run a bleach sanitation cycle once a month and once we are done with laundry, we leave it open overnight, its really not that big of a deal. No mold after 11 years.

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.

[@jasonredepenning]

I just bought a 850 with 5.2 space. I love it so far. Gets the close way cleaner than my old LG that finally threw the bearings after 15 years. My clothes smell way better also. Maybe it had mold somewhere but I couldn't see it.

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.

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

[@quiltsick]

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.

I have the 850, and in red it says Tank Low. What does that mean? How do I make the ending notification louder? I watched a video that said to interrupt a wash cycle to add something to push Smart 5? I don't see that anywhere on the washer?

[@appliancealliance4444]

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.

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.

[@puppyeyescraft]

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?

This is one if the washers we are considering.

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)?

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.

I purchased this model, dryer stopped heating at 2 year. GE can't figure out why or how to fix it

[@shannonnunnes5558]

I have this set and have had it for a little over a year. The washer now has the mildew smell and if I don’t get my clothes out within 15 minutes and into the dryer my clothes smell moldy. I use the vent feature immediately after each load. What a bummer. Otherwise everything else is wonderful.

[@angoraama613]

Not sure if it’s true, but I just read a review where someone said they only use powder soap. They said that the liquid has animals that that helps contribute to the smell and ever since I switched to the powder they’ve had no more smell.

[@dianapardo6872]

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

[@Blurain727]

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 am in the market for a new washer and dryer. My present front load is a whirlpool that I like expect the fact of it moving or some say walking from its place. We had a flood in the basement (natural disaster) so everything has to go. So the two I'm inquiring about are these GE ultrafresh 850 series and the LG 7.3cu ft turbosteam dryer and top load high efficiency washer with 3D technology (WT7900HBA). Can you and anyone else give me you advice with them in comparison?

[@therealjonsmith1]

Great review, thank you!

[@melannylozano466]

I have the 2 in 1, washes and dries but as it spins it shakes so much that makes my whole apartment move lol i don’t know how can that get fix I need help!!!! Also the app is not working, it tells me that it’s been an error and to try again later

[@reviewmaster517]

Do you think they are as good as the 3600 LG?

[@rustynkennedy]

Just FYI GE does not own the appliance division and hasn't for about 5 years now. GE has nothing to do with the appliances anymore, even though the GE logo is on the appliance it is in the agreement with the company to have that.

[@appliancealliance4444]

No Ge still owns the factory service it’s the “customer care” tier that they don’t and is third party. I know this because I am one.

[@plmn93]

GE sold their appliance division to Haier. So now a Chinese company with the washer made in China. Dryer is still made in the US.

[@chaoticstylez]

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.

[@mistyvanpelt1267]

I have this same W&D if you hold the rinse and spin button down it will just spin it out.

[@pawanpreetbahia]

cant figure out why gas dryer of this model gives E20 codes then stopped with beep kept going (days old clean filter clean vent)

[@jayjayfay6464]

How do these perform with laundry sheets?

[@JustMe007]

I just got the new 850 white, but the water is cold! No matter the setting except extra hot than its boiling! Yes, it's all set up 100% correct. But even hot is cool! Probably because these new HE barely use any water! 🙄

[@lindsyenglish8047]

Are these units stackable?

[@123456789bellab]

Yes

[@mrpacs1001]

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

[@JustMe007]

Yes, it tells you in the manual! 🙄

[@spanishmoss905]

Is the 950 worth the upgrade.

[@jaimea.3318]

Can you put the dry soap?

[@pink20018]

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]

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]

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.

[@watson111505]

The 850 is amazing.

[@VocalEdgeTV]

Does the interior really have blue lights ?

[@michaelwhetsel2295]
