explain to me why the heck a truck and rv channel does one of the best reviews on appliances than an actual appliance store channel and designated channels towards appliances?!!?!!?! Huge thumbs up!! Awesome!
Fb. If
Exactly lol
As you do one thing you do everything.
Cause he’s smart and stuff
I am looking for a new washer and dryer and this guy’s video has 100x more relevant information than these other companies who sell the units. This guy and the repair guys on youtube.
GE what GE did for you is the reason why I got this machine and the only reason GE pay attention I hope that you continue to do this❤
Just got this GE Ultrafresh set and I'm obsessed with them. Previously had Samsung set that worked great for 12 years, but the dryer died. Please know that your GE Ultrafresh videos were very helpful, and I kept running back to the videos to try features mentioned in your videos. Thank you for making these two helpful videos on the GE Ultrafresh washer and dryer saved me a lot of time. Cheers!
Just getting a 850 this week thanks for showing about the spin only cycle. During warranty GE is the only manufacturer that sends out it's own people whom just work on GE appliances.
I bought these in June and have absolutely love them. Quiet and comes as advertised. No problems at all and agree with your assessment of the set. Thanks for the followup video and enjoy your work.
Many reviews say not as quiet as expected, especially during rinse cycle. Haven't been able to find any videos showing machine while running. Can you elaborate on your "quiet and as advertised" observation? Thanks
Did the washer get musty at all?
You got any mold on the band after two years?
Hi how are your washer and dryee?
Our we just bought and the dryer in less than a month is no longer working. It makes a stretching noise and it won't tumble
I live out in the middle of nowhere in the southwest of the USA. I'm one of the few handymen that's willing the tear into broken appliances (nearest dealer is 125 miles away). People are always asking me what's the most reliable to buy, so I appreciate your honesty and your integrity. Thanks for the video.
This follow-up review certainly made my mind in purchasing this combined washer dryer units! Thanks for the reviews!
Thank you so much. Watched both reviews. Looked at these yesterday and you sold me on them with the warranty response and reliability rating.
My husband and I are looking at these units to replace our LG set from 2006. That set (Tron) has been an amazing workhorse with very few issues. We replaced moldy gaskets twice, always kept the door open and routinely wiped it out.. We seriously considered the GE impeller models, but after using one in an Airbnb rental, we found significant wrinkles due to clothes moving around so much in the washer. This video seals the deal as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for moving out of your typical space on UA-cam to help us!
Great review! So detailed and informative. I appreciate you making this!
This is a very detailed video. I am looking into buying this. Did research on it but now that I watched your video I am sold. Thank you for making this video
It’s like it’s meant to be! My washing machine went out and I was considering this washing machine. I appreciate your review and trust what you’re saying. Thanks for your content.
who would have thought, RV/Trucks to washing machine. Love the info, u got skillz
I am so excited to get these. We bought them Labor Day Weekend and Lowe’s are holding them at the store till we close on our house. Great review. Thank you.
Great review. I currently have an older GE Profile that was a complete set until the dryer died. It also had the sync feature from washer to dryer. LOVED IT. It worked via a serial cable. My home warranty company replaced the dryer and the feature was no where to be found at the time. I hate (really don't care for it) the dryer. The washer is being replaced and this is the model they are replacing it with. Your videos provided me with some good research. I have the same issue with the cabinets and pedestal but mine is more like 3 inches. My wife was not happy with that news. So now I have to do a custom pedestal /cabinet. After watching the reviews I probably will buy the matching dryer if I can find a good price.
Thank you for taking the time on both reviews.
Thank you so much, for the review! We are looking purchase a stackable washer/dryer, we have to look at GE now!
This was so helpful! I got these as a gift and I had no idea it did all this stuff.
Good video, you do good reviews, and explain things well I think more content like this would do well for you.
Thanks for explaining "spin only". I was disappointed that I couldn't figure that out using the manual. Was ready to return washer.
I order the stackable set and then saw these videos. You did a great job reviewing them and I love that you did a 6 month update. I’d love to see you review more house hold products (are you open for suggestions?)
I just got my set and love them! I could not figure out how to use the auto soap dispenser and you answered my question! Great video!
Wow, watching this review just made me buy these machines. Thank you for your review.💯😬
Damn dude, great review! You clearly took the time to learn all about them, and can articulate that info well. Based on your channel name, I doubt I will benefit from other reviews, but I still subscribed to see what you do. Thanks!
I just purchased these. It's very reassuring to hear that you are so pleased.
How is it?
Wow, stunning review. I had completely over looked GE, and glad that GE popped up on my radar. I don’t event have a house yet, and I already want a set lol. The thing that really sells is the reliability and the customer service, for me that is. Thanks for sharing.
This is the best review for these machines I have seen.
LG Dryer finally died after 13 years. Decided on getting these almost 100% from your reviews. Lord knows the other video reviews you do are SO detailed, so we’ll researched, I didn’t feel the need to keep researching. (Which I’m almost OCD about researching before I buy. Saved me TONS of time by YOU doing these videos! Thank you for that!
One thing my salesman showed me today was a small door at the bottom of the washer that opens to a lint/hair catcher. He said it would be good to clean 3+ times a year to further eliminate potential smells. Our springer leaves hair everywhere, so I was happy to see this feature.
Interesting! I do hair and we have a cat so little hairs are all over our clothes. I just ordered these this morning
Thanks for the update. Greatly appreciated! 👍👍🤙
Thank you for this review, especially since its a 6 month review. I really appreciate you going so indepth about the GE washer and dryer that you even covered GE's customer service. Lots of reviews tend to leave that part out, so thank you for that.
I'm looking to buy a new washing machine from Best Buy during Labor Day and this is the washer thats caught my eye because of the UltraFresh Vent System and the Microban Antimicrobial Technology. Plus I like the fact that the door can be installed on either side of the machine.
Great review 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks again 😊
#1 No one reviews like you. Thank you for sharing.
Ours will be delivered tomorrow, thanks again for your review, very helpful !
How is it
Thank you so much for taking the time that you have, to not only post the 1st review of these items, but equally as important, the 6mo. (updated/follow-up) review as well. As a household of three individual 1st responders, and the current pandemic related events, we were looking to replace a washer and dryer that was approximately 12yrs old and on their last legs. We placed an order for the two GE units you've reviewed, and based our purchase, in part, on your video reviews. So thank you once again.
Im in your exact situation. Our dryer is still going strong despite their age but our washer is now dead. Ive been looking all over and this review has been fabulous. I’m leaning more to GE now instead of LG
Does the dryer require a hot or cold water connection?
I am looking at getting these units, did my research, as did you, thanks for this lovely review.
Just purchased these today based on the first review you did. We get them next week. Can’t wait. Thank you!
How is it?
@@danielshallberg9266 They’re wonderful!
congratulations. I purchased my ge load top from pc Richard and son same price. same day delivery. iam so happy I got my merchandise big truck and big rv. i plan to retire in 9 years.
Thank you for the update!
This was SO HELPFUL!! Thank you.
Love our GE front load washer.
OMG I swear by Samsung and was on the fence. I just purchased and thank you. I am officially excited about the GE Ultra Fresh. didn't know it had a light. love the spin only feature and I didn't hear you mention if it were quite. Someone else's comment stated such. Bought the Saphire. Thanks!!!!
OMG!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just bought this set and was pretty upset to realize that there was no spin only cycle. I often hand wash things and throw it in for a spin or need to spin something that was off balance the first time. I was pretty bummed out that there was no spin on the cycle and now your UA-cam video has made my evening!! Yay! Thanks.
Thank you! I was on the fence because they are a bit pricey for what I need, but I really like all of the features.
Just purchased both. I am so excited!
I love the idea of that fresh air vent! That may just convince me to get another front loader for my next washer Had our old LG one for over 10 years and it worked great, but it was always a pain to have to keep the door open, especially when we had a walk-through laundry room. I thought we were going to have to get a top loader to solve the problem.
Mine wont shut off
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Extremely helpful! Very well done! Thank you!
Super helpful review! Thank you!
If you hold the light button down for 3 to 4 seconds it will lock the panel while you are washing so that it is not touch sensitive (or have to start over) it does that to prevent a child or like if you bump into it but you can hold the light button down for another 4 to 5 seconds to turn the lock off.
My 18 month old broken Samsung has this and I have small kids. But on the Samsung it doesn’t lock the power button whatsoever, real frustrating. Maybe its that way intentionally for safety reasons, not sure. How about this GE? I’m thinking of upgrading the washer in this video.
Thank you so much @taemckezie 4 this tip.
@@jcqlndt8068 you are very welcome .
@@jcqlndt8068 I have reviews on these washers and dryers as well on my page as well
My GE refrigerator is terrible and I told myself I'll never buy another GE , but I bought the profile version of this washer and no regrets so far I love it.
Just bought my new set and I love it!!!
Thank you!!
After 2 years how are you liking them?
GE appliance was bought by Haier not too long ago. Haier is well regarded in Europe and Asia and this model incorporates a lot of niceties from other companies. Aside from having to unpack and install the heavy ass washer myself bc COVID, these machines are great! After living in Europe with their crappy washers for 10yrs these machines are a god send.
If anybody watching this buys them and installs them, remove the shipping bolts, sleeves and cross bars! Unpacking instructions only mention the bolts.
How is it now?
Thank you for the very informative video on the GE washer and dryer. After watching your video, I purchased the 550 series from Costco, arrives on Feb 22, 2023. I am by myself, and have no need for the steaming functions or the large capacity auto soap dispenser. I did purchase the stacking kit and plan to build a cabinet system with the space the stack frees up. Thanks again for the video. Well done.
I appreciate that you gave a 6 month update. Now that you've had this laundry pair for 2 years, do you still feel the same? Have there been any issues?
Thanks ~ April
Mine is throwing 6 codes after one year
this just solidified the purchase for us. Thanks for the details
After 3 years how are you liking them?
Thank you so much what an in-depth and useful review!!
I just ordered mine today! I got the blue as well. Thank you for your great review videos
Do you like or even use the wash and dry small load cycle?
After 3 years how are you liking them?
Thank you for your review, you have made up my mind 😊
I can speak to their warranty process. I had a washer tripping my GFI (tested on 3 circuits) and they sent me a $100 check for not being able to do laundry / having to go to the laundry matt and replaced the washer. They couldn't get my model fast enough so they upgraded it by a model and sent it out faster. Communication was great through the entire process and it seemed like they actually cared.
Sadly, the new washer had the same issue and I replaced the GFI and had the issue again. I like the washer so much that I just bypassed the GFI. I spoke to an electrician that said that this is a common issue and not specific to GE devices.
I had the same issue and my electrician was able to rewire the gfi outlet and it works amazing!! Was thinking going the route of bypassing it but electrician worked wonders!
Excellent video! Thank you so much. We HATE & are in the process of tossing our LG 🤬 and after seeing your video, I’m definitely going to try this machine. Thank you again!
I don’t know if you noticed yet or not but I just received my set and first thing I found (cause the comment you made about thr buttons) was the control lock feature which locks the panel and prevents what you don’t like the ability to randomly turn off the machine mid cycle.
I have the same washer and dryer and love them the best I’ve ever owned
Just got a place of my own. I bought this 2am last night 😂. Thank you !!!
I have had a GE Profile washer and dryer for 15 years and never had a problem except the smelly mold which I was using Cerama Bryte to keep it at bay. I recently upgraded to GE Profile versions of these models and looking forward to using them. My old ones where white and the new ones have a modern dark look and look fabulous!
Ran into the smell problem 6 yrs ago when we bought our first front load washer. then one day at home depot I ran into an appliance tech, he said, If you use liquid detergent thats the problem, they all contain animal fats. We went to powder, and never smelled again.
I have purchased GE washers, dryers, range, and refrigerators almost exclusively (bought LG once) because of their warranties. They’ve been amazing!
Bought all LG washers, dryers, vacuums, range, air purifiers, and refrigerators exclusively because of their quality and warranties. No wonder they are the No.1 appliance brand in the world. Love LG company!
@@3811eric lg the best
My LG before I bought this washer lasted 15 years with a family of 5 and I've let other families stay in my downstairs over the years so it was used well. Still running the dryer for that set. I hope this GE lasts just as long.
The link for the info sharing between machines is less gimmicky and appreciated when the units are stacked.
The warranty info you mentioned. Know that these machines are under the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and THAT covers everything. 😉
Literally yesterday I was wondering when the update on the washer and dryer will be coming. I was thinking of asking today, then I see the notification.
Excellent video! Thank you so much.
Awesome video with great information
I just moved into my apartment and I’m interested in getting a washer that will last even if I move. I was thinking about getting LG but I will now check out GE!! I’m a customer service specialist do it’s nice to hear they care about their customers
Thanks again! Great review!
Great Video. I hope you do a 1 year follow-up!
both your videos helped us determine which units to purchase for our home. We just got them installed today, a great Christmas present for everyone in the family. I've always just used simple units with no modern features so this was a big step forward. I feel a lot more secure about the giant purchase decision thanks to your uploads. It is much appreciated. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and hope you have a Happy New Year!
Do you still like them?
@@CR-mx6tj hey there! After two years of ownership and usage, we are still satisfied with our purchase. The only gripe i have would be the app you can download and link the appliances to. It definitely isn't the best user interface, nor is it simple to completely unserstand. It lacks features that I'd wish something this expensive would have such as allowing me to set any setting i want virtually, such as extended spin or extra rinse or whatever. We either can't figure that out, or its simply not there. The performance of both appliances is fantastic though. Just make sure to keep up with thoroughly cleaning it ( checking filters, and scrubbing the antimicrobial rubber around the front door) as that definitely will impact the quality and smell of your clothes and such. My other issue is the air vent system to dry the inside of the washer isn't exactly that effective. I feel like it wastes way too much power spinning for hours. I usually leave the door ajar with the light turned off just to make drying more efficient. If you have any other concerns or questions, let me know! Hope this helps!
Best review I found for the GE washer and dryer. You are very detailed in all you covered. I know it’s been over a year since you did this review but I’m in the market looking for a new washer and dryer and I just saw this GE today at Costco and I wanted to ask you if you and your wife are still happy with the washer and dryer and if any issue with mold or mildew build-up. I would appreciate it if you let me know because this is the only brand of front loader washer that has a reversible door and that’s a must for me for my set up in my laundry room. TFS!
Whoa 15 loads a week thats alot lol. Good review. Mine are arriving next week.
Excellent review! Just replaced our 18 yr old Maytag set with these three days ago. Purchased from a local chain with 5 year extended warranty. First time using a front load washer, but so far, so good. Loving the sanitize + allergen features as my husband suffers from dust mite allergies. The pedestals were not available from our retailer, and based on your review, I’m kind of glad we didn’t get them.
What do you think of these in the time you've had them?
My broke (washer ) only lasted less than 2 years … not a good washer
Great review! Very helpful. Thank you
I just got my today love it
Thanks for the review, I'm gonna purchase the washer and dryer
Thanks. This video was really helpful.
As soon as I got my GE 850s delivered last month, a smart appliance tech figured out a way to correctly fix my disabled Kenmore washer. And I thought of returning the still boxed -up GE 850s.
But after watching your review, I decided to keep them. I'm installing them as I write this comment.
Thanks for your detailed attention to the performance of the GE 850s for this review.
....and I subscribed too.
Have you cleaned out the trap on washer?, it would be great if you posted a short video of that. Thanks for all the great info on these machines, it took us close to 3 months to get them delivered.
Our same washer at 16 months had the primary motor bears go bad and the motor had to be replaced. At 17 months the SmartDespense system stopped working even though we kept the tank clean. Waiting for this to get serviced, but expect that the five-valve body will have to be replaced. Your video is a great display of how good they work when they are running properly. GE's Service during the first year on any of our appliances were great, but they out source the extended warranty to Assurant who uses A&E and you never know what quality of tech you are going to get. Thanks again.
Nice review. Thanks! Not sure what the big deal about moldy seals is. I've had several front loaders and keeping the door ajar and making sure the drain holes in the gasket are clean is all it took to keep they gasket mold-free and the clothing never smelled moldy. Sometimes cloths can get that smell if they are left in the machine to long and it doesn't have that 'stay fresh' cycle that spins them around after the cycle is over.
Ty! Buying it because if your review
I just got back from the home depot to replace my more than decades old set. Went with the intention of getting LG but made a last minute switch to GE. The vent sold me on it. Only thing is they are on back order due to the manufacturing delays due to covid. So not getting it for a couple months. Got home and pulled reviews to make sure I made a good choice and gotta say you've put my mind at ease. Thank you for the reviews on these.
After 3 years how are you liking them?
Just in case you haven't found out yet, you can lock the controls. We have the same set, and kept pausing the cycle by bumping the machine. All you have to do it hit the control lock/light button and hold for 3 seconds. You'll have to turn it off again to start a new load. Great video, thanks.
That still doesn’t prevent you from hitting the off button.
just got mine delivered from Lowe's yesterday and yeah, they are SUPER tall with the pedestals. I plan to wash everything in the house today! 🤣 Also, great video!
Thanks for the follow up
Awesome review 👏 👍
Awesome video
Great video !! TY!!
Great info. Too funny tho, used to him doing the RV. Thinking the f150 hybrid for pulling trailer with atv's on pickup bed
Thank you great review helpful...looking at LG and Electrolux also...
Great video ❤
I just ordered these today and then found your review. This was very helpful and thourough and has given me a lot of confidence in my decision. Thanks for the measurement tip, it's just going to fit in my laundry room. Excellent work putting this out.
Yes, it actually came a week or two after my post. They are really nice. Just barely fit it out laundry room!
thanks brother for the honest review.
I just bought these units in white. I am replacing my 13 year old G.E. washer. After a year on the old set the seal ripped because it was thin and cheap and yes G.E. replaced it. We have the refrigerator, washer, dryer, microwave, stove, and dishwasher from G.E. and all work wonderfully. Plus it's great that they are all made in the USA and work really well. I am sold on G.E. 🇺🇸🎉
This dryer is made in US. Washer is made in China.
@@plmn93 wrong as mine is made in Kentucky. All my GE products bought in 2008 and more recently are made in America. Mine are also top of the line GE products. Maybe others are made in China, but I check before I buy.
@@jefferyrobinson9984 Strange, every single washer I've looked at in the Ultrafresh line including this specific model has been made in China, with the dryers being made in the US. It says so on the tag inside the door. GE Appliances was bought by Haier in 2016, so they are a Chinese company now regardless. I do like the washer but probably will not buy it for that reason.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do the follow up. I think this video sealed the deal for our purchase. Can you please put the model number that you have in the comments? Thanks!
Just got my set today
I bought mine this past weekend
Aww I bought a GE top loader, did not like the reviews of front loader moldy smells, but GE did good with the ultra fresh vents, this will be my future purchase
