Washer Highlights »

  • GE ENERGY STAR 4.1 IEC Cu. Ft. Colossal Capacity High-Efficiency Washer.

  • 4.1 IEC cu. ft. colossal capacity stainless steel basket - Handles king-size items and family-size loads, which means fewer loads per week to save time and money.

  • HydroWave system with Infusor - The oscillating action of the Infusor gently pulls fabric through the water using a 360-degree motion.

  • 5 wash/spin speed combinations - Speeds are matched to fabric type for great clothes care.

  • RainShower rinse system - Just as taking a shower uses far less water than taking a bath, the RainShower system gives every load of laundry three “showers,” rinsing clothes clean without filling the washtub full of water.

Purchase Price
Price Per
Cu. Ft.
$134 Based on the price that you pay for each cubic foot of capacity, this washer is less expensive than average and is priced in the bottom 1% of new washers.
Premium Features
Premium Features5 When compared to other new washing machines, this washer has below average performance & capabilities and ranks in the bottom 11% of new washer designs.
Extra Capacity  Offers less than average capacity. If your household is not very large, or you only do laundry once or twice each week, then this size washer should be adequate.
Extra Cycles Equipped with more cycles than the average washer. If your wardrobe includes a variety of fabrics, or your children play outside, these extra cycles can be helpful.
Higher Spin Rate  The spin cycle turns at an average to below average RPM. Slower spin speeds can leave more water in the clothing, which increases the time in the dryer.
Water Saver  This washing machine uses an average to higher than average amount of water during each wash cycle when compared to other new washers.
Stainless Steel Basket Designed with a stainless steel wash basket which is the best material available for washing machines. It resists corrosion, stains, and chipping unlike lower-end models.
Steam Cleaning  Does not offer steam cleaning cycles that are found on some higher-end washing machines. Steam cleaning can help sanitize clothes and remove tough stains.
Auto Temperature Control Automatically regulates the hot and cold water supply to ensure that the wash water stays at the proper temperature for detergents to work their best.
Auto Water Level Uses sensors to detect the load size and then adjusts the water level to achieve the best cleaning and rinsing performance. Saves water and efficiently cleans.
Auto Dispenser Bleach, fabric softener, and sometimes detergent can be preloaded into the dispensing trays and automatically released by the washer at the appropriate time.
Delayed Start  Cannot be programmed to start at a later time. The washer is manually started at the time you want to start washing clothes.
Sanitize Cycle  Does not have a sanitary cycle option that is 160-deg or higher and certified to remove 99.9% of germs and bacteria from your clothing.
Digital Display  Does not include a digital information display for convenient monitoring of cycle time, or selection of washing machine function and options.
