The GE WBVH6240FWW Front Load Washer ---- A Great Part to Washer and Dryer Combo

by three_ster, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 16 '06
Pros: easy to use, digital read-outs, pre-set washing modes, makes life SO easy
Cons: absolutely none
Moving into a place that didn't come with its own washer or dryer, a quick realization occurs that it is nearly impossible to rely upon coin operated machines at the Laundromat once you have become accustomed to having your own. The GE WBVH6240FWW Front ...

Regarding the machine not spinning!

by smpk , Feb 22 '07
Pros: Our spinning/walking issue was resolved and the machine runs perfectly.
Cons: Just the process of figuring out the spinning/walking issue...now no cons!
I see this named as a frequent problem recently on these machines. We just installed our machine last weekend and had problems with the spinning also (and yes, vibration). We had purchased the 4 year warranty through home depot and call the line. A GE ...

Semi-Commercial Use Review

by abwhit , Feb 04 '07
Pros: Large capacity, water and energy efficient, stainless tub, easy to use controls, Nice Look
Cons: Could use better installation instructions, Larger dispenser openings, Long Cycle Time, Needs Special Detergent
I just purchased this washer for use in a small motel. I average about 4 loads per day of motel laundry and then a few loads per week of our personal laundry. I will update this review a couple of times a year or as necessary to let you know how it is ...

Great washer , but it's a pain to clean the filter!

by ericswife , Jan 10 '07
Pros: Price Cleans well Large capacity
Cons: Difficult to access filter Doesn't stack well with the dryer
My husband and I were still using his Grandmother's '80's era Kenmore washer, so I was very excited when it died on us. I wanted a pretty new HE set to save water, electric, etc. This set was priced within my budget - far less than other HE machines ...

I love my GE front-load washer/dryer

by narasarh , Jul 02 '07
Pros: Quiet, efficient, very attractive, great at cleaning everything, received $225 in energy rebates
Cons: The washer door is not reversible because it contains a locking mechanism for safety.
I have owned the GE front-load washer and dryer for 10 months, doing about 3 loads a week and I have not had a single problem. I read how other people have had horror stories, but mine certainly is not the case. In fact, it looks like most people ...

After 5 months of service

by dovereem , Jun 04 '06
Pros: price... for this type of unit, simplicity
Cons: matching dryer doesnt have stainless drum... Knobs seem a little flimsy.
My 1970s kenmore washer was so used up that the enamel was worn off the drum. If I didnt rush to get things out at the end of the cycle then I would get rust stains. After a year of rushing and a few too many rust stains, I decided it was time to buy a ...

I love this machine!

by shemoo , Aug 12 '06
Pros: Very easy to use, economical, gets clothes clean.
Cons: Buzzer on loudest setting still is too soft.
I have never felt the urge to write a review before but this is the exception. I was set to purchase a top load machine for half the price but while talking to a sales associate he mentioned the money saving features of the front load models, as in ...

Cleaning pump filter

by e25474 , May 26 '07
Pros: looks, energy efficiency
Cons: slow, questionable reliability
Our washer stopped working correctly after a little over one year. It would pause frequently during operation and take hours to complete a single load. I did purchase the extended warranty from Lowes; unfortunately, they base the warranty on the ...

don't buy this

by mk1153 , Jan 28 '07
Pros: Sorry, can't think of any advantage to this machine.
Cons: Loud, won't spin, dingy clothes, torn clothes, long cycle.
I bought this machine without researching it, something I rarely do. I had heard about front loading machines, and had used commercial washers without problems, so did not anticipate problems with this. The salesman spoke about all the great things: ...

Not Worth It- Update

by srsprague , Apr 26 '07
Pros: Uses less water (lower water bill), stacking dryer (saves space)
Cons: Rubber gasket came out, clogs with pet hair and pocket contents, torn clothes, can't washXLloadsaspromised
The stacking machines that save floor space and the water saving features are great. We are over charged for water here and that does count for something. Unfortunately the claims to save, also, on electricity and drying time because the washer spins ...

A great disappointment -- Do not waste your money on this!

by dlaunder , Jul 13 '08
Pros: None
Cons: Costly, filter not easily maintained, odor, heavy, "walks"
We have a well and a septic system, and purchased this washer to conserve water. I love to do laundry, but I absolutely HATE this washer. GE's failure to include information in its manual regarding the necessary periodic cleaning of the drain pump ...

Trust me when I say it's junk

by whatdoyouthink , Feb 08 '08
Pros: It looks good
Cons: You can't just look at it. It actually needs to function/
I'm not often frustrated by something to seek out writing a review. But this washer is the exception! I bought mine about 1.5 years ago and was immediately unhappy. The spin cycle vibrates my entire house. Pictures have fallen from the wall in the ...

Thought this washer would be better for the kids to operate

by txkitkat , Dec 07 '07
Pros: none
Cons: breaks all the time
I have had this washer for 14 months and just made my forth service call. I bought this washer from lowes each time I make a service call it takes an hour on the phone with many run arounds. After the call is complete it takes about a week for someone ...

Does not spin out clothes

by kbrewer3351 , Nov 10 '07
Pros: None.
Cons: Clothes will come out of the washer wet and take forever to dry.
OK, the washer washes the clothes very well. But chances are, they're going to come out very wet. But, you say, isn't that supposed to be the advantage of a front-loading washer? Yep, but not this one. Repairman: twice. Satisfaction: 0. He said ...

Fixed the awful vibration, though the answer is hidden in manual

by qurx , Apr 07 '07
Pros: quiet wash cycle. average to above average spin noise/vibration. very energy/water efficient
Cons: lack of detailed unpacking instructions. super long normal wash cycle. inaccurate timer
I bought the washer at Sam's Club because of their VERY liberal return policy: anytime you're not satisified they will issue a full refund (make sure to save your receipt though!). the down side was they only had 1 front loader to choose from, and ...
