Reasons to Love Your Laundry Day: The GE Front Load Washer Advantage

A GE front load washer aims to make laundry day quick and easy while using high performance technology to clean your clothes without damaging them. Let’s look at some of the ways GE stands out as a winner:

1. Performance Powerhouse

Bells and whistles are wonderful, but the true value of any front load washer comes down to its cleaning power. GE front load washers are filled with performance enhancing technology, making even their affordable models a superior choice for cleaning power. In a GE front load washer you might find:

  • Sanitizing and allergen removing cycles
  • Powerful steam settings that loosen stubborn stains without damaging your clothing
  • Extra water options for fully rinsing bulky items

2. Efficiency Expert

Using less water than top loading models, many GE front loading washing machines are EnergyStar® certified offering the highest efficiency ratings. Investing in efficient laundry appliances helps you:

  • Reduce your power bills
  • Lower your carbon footprint
  • Use less water and heat power

3. Sleek and Stylish Design

Washers and dryers are large appliances that occupy a lot of space in our homes. It is only natural that we want our machines to look sleek, blend into our space, and take up as little room as possible.

Choosing a GE front load clothes washer opens many style options for your laundry appliances including:

  • A variety of available finishes and colors
  • Stackable laundry options for space saving in smaller homes
  • Large capacities built into standard size machines
  • Pedestal options for easier loading and handy storage
  • Modern controls and touch screen options

4. Quiet Operation

Heavy laundry loads and spin cycles can get loud on laundry day, especially on the second floor of your home. GE actively works to combat noisy machines, using vibration control and stabilizing technology to produce quiet machines with fast, gentle spin cycles. Reducing noise makes laundry day more flexible, allowing you to:

  • Run laundry cycles at night
  • Run machines with sleeping children in the home
  • Easily concentrate on working from home without distraction
  • Jump on Zoom calls without background noise
  • Not disturb the neighbors if you live in an apartment building

5. Smart Functionality

People wonder why they need a Wi-Fi-connected laundry room until they have one. Smart laundry machines let you control your laundry from anywhere, run remote diagnostics to solve problems and get the all-important notifications that your cycle is complete. Gone are the days of rewashing your laundry after forgetting about it. Many models are even Alexa and Google compatible for hands-free voice control.

6. Reliable and Long-lasting

They arrive feature-filled and ready to tackle the heaviest laundry days, but are GE washers reliable? This heritage brand has been making appliances for over a century, earning a reputation for building durable machines, but front load washers can sometimes suffer from mold and mildew issues that reduce their lifespan. GE prevents these laundry damaging problems with new technologies including:

  • An UltraFresh Vent system for preventing odors in the machine
  • MicroBan® antimicrobial technology to stop the build-up of unhealthy mold and mildew
  • Durable and rust proof stainless steel drums
