GE Profile High-Efficiency 4.1 cu. ft. I.E.C. Top-Load Colossal Capacity Washing Machine (WPRE6150K) Reviews

Purchased this washer along w/matching dryer in February 2010.  Wanted to go w/HE this time around, being energy efficient and having more room due to no agitator.....BIGGEST MISTAKE WE EVER MADE!!!! Never noticed any problems, other than my husbands work clothes never smelled that fresh.  Now, we're not a couple who ever really gets our clothes extremely dirty, other than the occasional "yard work", but no rolling around in dirt/mud, etc., so everything seemed to be doing fine until my son started school (I was a stay @ home mom for 4.5 yrs, so there was never any major dirtyness w/his...

This is an excellent machine. It is quiet, cleans well, holds an amazing amount of laundry and won't have the mold problems associated with front loaders.  I suspect the problems in other reviews stem from overloading and using the incorrect detergent. You must use HE detergent. Also, read the manual about loading. You cannot load anything over the "agitator" in the middle. Even so, this machine holds much more than my previous, super-capacity Kenmore. As for cycle length, mine are typically running about 45 minutes for fairly large loads. The high speed spin extracts more moisture, so loads require...

I purchased the this washer and matching dryer about a month ago and it is wonderful   I love how easy they are to use and how quiet they are.   I love the Auto selection for water, rather than having to figure out if the load size is med, large or extra large.   I am very happy with my purchase.

Mom of 3 kids under five here, doing laundry daily -- as you can imagine, with 3 small children and 2 adults, things can get pretty messy. I bought this washer for its larger capacity (it doesn't have the central agitator that older models all had), variable settings (including extra rinses and pre-wash soaking), and the visible timer which tells you how long you have left in your wash cycle. All of these features would be fabulous to a mom like me who must wash lots of separate loads. (Remember, with 2 kids who are not potty-trained yet, and a baby whose skin baby detergent, I have to do separate...

First one was replaced within a week.  This because it choked on any size load larger than a few shirts.  When it would go into the spin cycle, it sounded more like a freight train than a washing machine.  Following and/or during the spin cycle, a massive amount of water would leak from below.  Second one - same story.  It sounds like a great deal - high capacity, top load, no agitation, decent price - it just doesn't get worse than this machine.  Buy it and I'll promise you two things:  one - you'll spend a lot, a lot of time, rewashing laundry, rewashing again, putting it on drain and...

Most washing machines these days are all computerized and can be confusing to use. This machine is simple and gets the job done. My last machine was digitalized and it broke within 2 years.  I like the dials on this machine and the fact that it's not computerized.  You can control the amount of water you want instead of the machine's sensor.  If you want the option of auto-fill this machine has it too.

Purchased machine on 5/12, delivered on 5/19, spin cycle stopped working on 6/17. Brand new machine will not spin water out of clothes.   Less than one months' use and service call required.  Disgusted and dissappointed with lack of durability and craftsmanship for ~$600

The goal was to replace inefficient energy consuming older appliance with new, quiet, efficient, greener machine.   I am now impatiently waiting for repair service!

This is the biggest piece of junk we have ever owned! We purchased the WPRE6150K2W2 about 8 months ago, along with the matching dryer. (which we just finshed pying off) I am ashamed of myself that it took me this long to figure out what was going on. The washer leaves lint on all of my dark colored clothes! I have to wash them in very small loads and 2 or 3 times to get it all off. I hate this washer - and will tell everyone I know what a piece of junk it is.

I love my GE Profile. One thing that I have found about it, and most HE machines, is that you must use the right amount of HE detergent, load it properly, select the proper cycle, and let it be while it washes. Trust that it will work as designed. Too many people want to run extra rinses and spins because they don't trust that a machine that uses so little water and no agitator could clean their clothes.

I have successfully washed bulky bedding, delicates, my King size comforter, drapes, my toddler's heavilty soiled clothes. This washer does a great job.

The only serious flaw is that the machine's...

GE Profile Washer wpre6150h1wt On spin, any significant imbalance in the clothes results in a huge disabling banging and damage to the washing machine.  We have had it beat itself to death several times resulting in numerous service calls and service contract extensions.  Never had this level of problem with other GE washers.  There is no automated cutoff, alarm buzzer, or adequate suspension for the basket.  Don't buy.

I have just finished using this washer for the first time. I don't really understand all the setting yet but that will come with use. It was quieter than a regular washer normally is. I was pleased with the way it got the water out of the clothes. I think you may have to pick the correct setting to get clothes washed right. The clothes were a bit wrinkled out of the dryer but again I just think it's a matter of getting used to it and adjusting the cycles. I love the sensor size for the wash load, I don't have to guess. The sensor dry on the dryer is great too. My clothes came out dry and not all...

Have had one of these GE Profile washers for over a year.  The first one delivered was is such poor working order, Sears graciously agreed to replace it for me.  The current one is on the third motor, plus other major parts.  The replacement parts in the current washer totals twice what the washer costs new (about $1,500 in parts).  The service person said it has replaced motors in many, many GE Profile washers.  He further stated there has been two of these washers that he has already replaced the motor four times.  I guess mine will be the third of his with four motors.  These are...

I purchased this washer from a competitor, and immediately knew it was working properly.  Repair man was sent out within 2 days and the motor needed to be replaced.  Because this washer was brand new I didn't want to have it fixed so I opted to have another delivered the following week.  HUGE mistake....this washer is not working properly either!  It catches water and spins well...but it does not wash.  It doesn't aggetate at all.  I literally folded a rag and placed on top of the clothese in the washer and it was still in the same place after 52 minutes of wash time.  I have wasted more...
