I just got this washer from Home Depot. A floor model for $447.00 with tax. I like the features, speed wash is great for a small load of gym clothes. I’ve done loads of towels, a queen size comforter. No complaints here. Compared to no old no frills Amana this is a rolls Royce!
Thank you for showing that you can add the detergent while the water is filling the machine. When I was buying this GE, all the sales people said you have to put the clothes in first, then pour the detergent directly on the "dry" clothes, then add the water. I did not want to do that! My 35 yr. old Kenmore just died and I bought this GE. For 35 yrs. , I let the tub fill about 1/3 with water and added the detergent as it kept filling, then added the clothes. Worked beautifully!
Slizzie1 in my opinion you need to let the machine start feeling up with water then add your soap so it can lather up really good then start adding your clothes if you have a top load machine 🤷🏾♂️
I miss my Kenmore ..It just died also.....You Notice Appliance Only last til the warranty ends now. I use to wash 4 loads in no time......We just got to (THINK) smarter than these Washers......Smart Advice: Leave your washer on (Speed Wash)...turn your Rinse (off)....also turn your Soak (off)....23 minutes.....I don't have time to listen to a loud, shaky washer.....
@@roadtripboy It doesn't really matter. The detergent just disperses a little better if you put it in first. However all those liquid detergents can be used for pre-treating stains, so it's no big deal if it goes directly on the clothes.
I traded in our fancy Samsung set for this, paid $500 less for this set and my clothes are so much cleaner, in half the time. 1 week in, so far so good!
Thank you for making theses videos. I am in the market for a new washer and don’t want that lame 2018 speed queen so I am doing as much research as possible before I buy and your videos truly help. I like to be able to see how much water it fills up with and how it moves the clothes around and your videos allow me to do that. Thank you.
Same with me, I had to educate myself on how these things operate. Try to find a 2017 SQ if possible. The Maytag MVWP575GW is great too: th-cam.com/video/O22radGdHVE/w-d-xo.html The 2018 Speed Queen is a well built machine for sure, I have had hands on training from the Speed Queen service school. The machine has less moving parts than the 2017 model. If it cleans well then it will be a home run for Speed Queen and the consumer. Most people do not like change, but Speed Queen was forced to incorporate a management system in their machines to stay compliant. I'm confident that the machine will perform as designed and excited to sell Speed Queen. The machine needs to be reviewed by the consumer and not a dealer that relies on selling new and used appliances. The feed back needs to come from the consumer which will have a greater impact on the market. Speed Queen will make changes if needed but not based on one unhappy dealer. I'm sorry but I am excited to sell a product that is designed and built here in the states.
cool video! My first washer and dryer I've ever purchased just today and did my first load. Sounded weird to me. But yup runs just like this! Now I know it's normal lol
Great stuffThank you What I Really need is to be taken through the entire cycleFor exampleWhat is the running time from start to finish maximum load?White Cycle Heavy
Thanks for the post. This the cycle I wanted to see. My clothes don't get very dirty and I wondered if this cycle would work for them. It looks like it would. Thanks.
Will be 6 years with this model this fall. My main complaint is that it doesn’t pour in enough water even on Max. No matter what, the tub fills halfway which barely touches the upper half of the agitator. I installed a 2-way splitter from the hot water so that I can top it off all the way like washers used to. The Deep fill rinse water level is actually fairly decent. I probably wouldn’t have bothered adding extra water if the machine actually added the same amount of water as the rinse cycle for the main wash. Second, I took off the latch from the lid and taped it down so that I can run the washer with the lid open and so that I can pour the water in while the wash is in motion. I feel the rinse cycle is a little bit too short, not giving big loads time to turn over enough times for a thorough rinse. I sometimes have to press down on big loads and comforters during the rinse to help beat out the soap. Lots of mold can grow underneath the agitator and the bolt that holds it down is terrible, too small and gets rusty. I ended up breaking it while tightening it back down, never once felt any resistance. I had to drill a hole so that I can force any random bolt in place to hold the agitator in place, that’s been holding for 2 years. Lastly, it can be quite a spectacle when the machine goes out of balance. Mine has moved forward a good 3 feet with only the power cord and hoses holding it from going any further. Overall I can’t really complain as I bought the washer new ( scratch & dent ) at an indie GE appliance store for $300. And it’s lasted longer than I expected. Might get a Maytag top loader next time , preferable from the commercial line.
Thank you for making this excellent detailed video. I have this unit, it is constantly unbalanced, water fills on spin cycle after a few rotations and clothes come out soaking wet. Replaced the suspension rods but still happening. The machine is only 3 years old. Any ideas? Thanks!
You are mixing too many garment and fabric types. Jeans with jeans, shirts with shirts, towels with towels only. These washers are a far cry from the sturdy vintage washers we are used to. As recent as the early 2000's----Those washers are considered vintage now. Don't ask Kirk anything. He doesn't know anything about the washers he makes videos of obviously. He rarely answers questions on here anyhow.
Agree the LG agitator washer does not move the clothes thru the water at all the missed it with that one I was expecting a better product from LG... I'm waiting to see the new Samsung agitator washer..
Kirk, if it's possible at some time, would it be possible to revisit the Maytag MVWC565FW and 765. Your tests are much more developed now. One of the 565's cycles didn't include a rinse and the 765 was just a shot of an empty cycle with a closed lid.
Thanks Kirk for the post... this was one of the washers I was looking at to replace my FL... Comments... takes too long to fill, agitation is good but kind of rough on the clothes.. do you know what is the noise decibel is on this machine? seems to be noisy
Kirk, I have a totally different question and wondered if you could help. My GE dryer has a spot for a light but they never installed it. Is there anyway I can hack this? Thank you!
Mary Smith I just love how they get back to you and answer your questions. I’ve noticed your question was 3 months ago. I hope someone has helped you out. Smh 👍🏻
Do any of the new washers come with a lint filter? My old washer never came with it and it made washing my towels very annoying because the lint would never be removed properly. Forget about washing anything with velcro or acrylics and fleece because they are lint catchers automatically which damaged many clothing. Just by the sound this machine in video is making while washing would aggravate anyone.
I just bought my New in the Box GE Washer today....I already know I Hate It......I Might end up keeping it...But I Hate it.....I am use to a Maytag, Whirlpool and even Kenmore.....But this one takes the cake....Slow, Loud and Shaky....Three things I hate in a Washer......But, I will give it three days and if I can't stand it in my House, It goes back to Lowes in the (Clearance) area......I see Now I am not a GE Washer person....I have lots of GE products in my kitchen......Washer shouldn't have been one.
You've tested Maytag's Commercial top loader. Whirlpool also makes a commercial top load available with or without a coin slot. That might be neat to see.
Good find Bruce! It will be a hard-sell for me. It only has the commercial warrant, 90 days P&L and two years parts. If they added the domestic warranty I would sell it for sure. It does have the porcelain top that I wish the Maytag had. I may order one in to film and sell it at cost. Even then it will be over $600.
I just spent six hours rebuilding my coin op Whirlpool direct drive that I have in one of my buildings. New agitator dogs, new water level wash and rinse cycle air actuated control valve signals and four successive loads getting the water level right, new internal drain hoses, cleaned out the filter screen under the tub to the pump. It's performing perfectly for the first time in years. It was built in'92 and serves six households. I expect to get another year out of it and buy Whirlpool or Maytag coin op front loaders. The present machine is so old that the plastic parts both functional and cosmetic are brittle. But it performs great. I was considering the machine that I'd suggested and indeed it would be a difficult sale because every customer review says it blows! Could be a fun video though if we all get a chance to make fun of it. I was wondering if you had a chance to read my suggestions concerning the Whirlpool agitator models and how to outfit the correct agitator for those machines. I'd like to hear your thoughts. There were two posts responding to other viewers comments and my ideas.
I haven't any SP coin ops. When I purchased this set Speed Queen's commercial machines had sustantially smaller capacity than the Whirlpool. In my other buildings I have Maytag coin op front loaders. I can't fit one in this particular property because there wouldn't be swing space for the doors to open. I'm considering the top loading Maytag. It should save utilities and it's going to probably be in the next year. Mechsnically the machine is great but all of the plastics are deteriorating and brittle. The laundry room isn't climate controlled, has an open window and jalisie doors that are open for ventilation and we're in Florida so the environment are harsh.
I just bought the 335 model of this washer. When I washed a light-weight, thin full size mattress cover, the machine shook like crazy during the final spin cycle and made a lot of noise. I've never heard anything like it. I thought the machine was going to explode! I could not pause it to redistribute the load because of the stupid lid lock! A machine shouldn't be so over sensitive anyway.
How did you get it to spin without closing the lid? Mine broke the latch and they won’t fix it until next week, I at lest want to wash what’s in there right now, can you help?
Hi Kirk, I see that this is a 3.8 capacity. Can I get this washer in at least a 4.0 capacity? I noticed with some models, they don't offer a larger or smaller size. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this video. The agitator seems very noisy almost like it's grinding against something but not really a grinding noise just a struggling noise like it's struggling to get through the clothes. I have an older Maytag that was made right before they converted to locking lids for top loaders. The agitator in a pre wash cycle moves far faster than this does. It moves about as fast at normal speed as this agitator moves if I double the speed on the TH-cam video. I'm just wondering why that is, especially for a Speed Wash? To be honest I think based on your video I am not going to get this washing machine. Now I know what others are saying when they say this machine is noisy compared to some earlier machines
Hi, I just got the 2019 version of this machine. It is NOT any noisier than the older top loaders. It also does NOT vibrate like people are saying. I'm convinced that those people are not leveling their machines. And when I say leveling, I mean getting the level out. As far as cleaning, I feel like it's been doing a great job. It even managed to remove some dingy ring around the collar type soiling off of a shirt. Granted it was not a cotton shirt, but still I think it did a fine job. It also does not feel chintzy to me. I bought the basic one ...4.2 cu ft. The only complaint I have is the matching dryer does not have a light inside the drum (when fishing for socks ;)), and it doesn't have that extra fluff time so that clothes don't get wrinkled. I have to believe that GE does this so that you are forced to buy the more expensive one. I say that because I have always bought cheaper machines and all have included these features. However, the machine that included these features was huge. I guess these appliance companies assume everyone has a McMansion today. Too bad that they don't offer nicer appliances in the smaller sizes too. Found that to be true with fridges as well.
Kirk also wanted to add that this machine doesn't seem to have the high spin speed that the Maytag has??? Looks like Maytag is going to be the winner for 2018??? Too bad I can't say the same for the new Speed Queen!!! Have a great night!!!
Thanks. How do you activate soak mode? I do not see it in the manual. I am going to try pausing the wash overnight. update: 1/11/2021 I use manual mode by pausing after the machine fills with water and begins to wash. That gives me 24 hours to restart before the water drains out. I have only forgotten to restart once.
Before you start the machine, when you turn the cycle dial, the cycle status lights will turn on letting you know what that selected cycle will do. E.g drain and spin turns on the spin light to show that’s what that cycle will do. I think the machine only soaks the clothes when you set it to whites heavy, deep clean, and delicates I think.
Sir god day I’m ask something regarding spare parts ge model WWRE6260D1WW washer top loading I needs parts under agitator already damage we need replace it thanks so much sir
It's the best bottom plate that ive ever seen on an agitator. I don't know why whirlpool isn't using the same bottom plate that they use on Maytag's agitator washers combined with the corkscrew upper unit used in the Roper built Whirlpool, Roper and Amanda machines. Straight vanes on a lower plate combined with the quick full rotation pulses on thes machines isn't a good idea. GE's two stage should set the mark. The Whirlpool is still better built. Whirlpool has it all in their tool box. They need to package it correctly.
Locking the lid during the spin cycle isn't really a new thing. My old Frigidaire top loader from 2000 would do that. Only when it fills, agitates, and drains is when the lid is unlocked. It also lacked a tub brake like this GE.
@@LlyleHunter We never had any problem with tub brakes on our vintage Whirlpool and Kenmore top loaders. It speeds up the process. It can take over a minute for the tub to stop spinning, especially since they now spin faster than they used to.
That's what I want to know... I want to know how they disengage the locking mechanism for the lid because I want that done on the machine I get. I've had old school washing machines prior to that feature being installed as a standard
I agree that the new washers are horrible. Takes less water but more electricity because the whole process of washing and especially spinning takes forever. Thank you for sharing this video it helps me deciding cycles to choose.
Hope you'll be able to review the new Speed Queen washers. Did you hear about what happened to Lorain Furniture and him getting blacklisted by Speed Queen?
I heard about it. I feel bad for Lorain Furniture. I'm sure he knew the impact of his actions, he basically gave Speed Queen no choice. I have seen the washer up close and seen it taken apart. I was impressed and cannot wait to get them in my store.
Hi Nikki. I just this set delivered today after switching out the Maytag Bravo impeller set. It was a nightmare. I can’t believe how we the consumers can be charged so much for something that doesn’t do what it was made to do which is CLEAN CLOTHES. Sooo I had Lowe’s to pick the set up and bring me this set because it’s as close to the old school washer as it’s gonna get. My washer filled up to Satisfaction indeed and it’s washing my clothes. Can’t wait to see the end results. The sound isn’t that bad like some are saying. However if your washer isn’t filling up, then you should contract the store and let them know right away because it’s suppose to Fill up on the level u select. BE SURE TO NOT SELECT “PRECISE FILL” the will fill only according to the wt of your load. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and praying this down grade is a great option. Good Luck.
My mom wasn't even playing she call Lowe's Department and they came out to pick up the washer. Now we got a different washer machine. We are so happy. Dont never waste your money to buy GE.
kirk I think this would be a good machine for a small family doing average size loads... this load seemed to handle well as an average load but, doesn't do to well on those extra large loads... Maybe if the agitator had fins instead of those humps it might do a better job at turning over a large load??? Once again Loved the video though. Thanks!!!
Fins wouldn't improve ciculation over humps. These humps are as high as most normal fins including Whirlpool direct drives, The of Maytag, recent Speed Queens. It's not as high as a Norge's agitator was. The difference is in the shape of the bottom of the tub. It's the same thing that makes a good blender. If it had a curved bottom like the old Maytags, the current Whirlpool, Amana and Roper machines and Speed Queen it would have turnover as all had been the best at it. High humps are a major improvement and should be combined with a two stage and perforations bored through the bottom of the agitator leading upward exiting through the sides of the upper agitator could substantially increase circulation. Having humps will eliminate piling on fabric (Those little fiber balls that form on cloth that's been laundered allot). I think that the washplate non center post agitator should use higher humps too for better circulation as well as angled bottomed tubs to facilitate rollover.
I held mine down for 3 seconds the deep fill light came on but it didnt add any more water than it did before the deep fill! Also mine locks during the wash cycle and it sounds like it is dying a slow death! It does not sound like the agitator is moving very well at all. I put it on a large load and it filled to a medium sized load and with the deep fill option on it still was a medium sized load water level. We didn't have it a day and I called and they are bring a replacement tomorrow so we shall see if the one we got was defective or if it is just a crap machine!
I just got through shooting the one blanket test tonight. This machine is taking a beating. I'll film the two blanket test tomorrow. But it does seem the suspension is getting louder. I did the bubbles for you bro!
I just got back from doing laundry at my parents house... you don't know aggressive!!! They have a Maytag commercial from about twenty years ago. The turnover is AMAZING!!! Puts all these to shame...

Smart Advice: Leave your washer on (Speed Wash)...turn your Rinse (off)....also turn your Soak (off)....23 minutes.....I don't have time to listen to a loud, shaky washer.....
It's not. It works. I have the 2019 version. It's a dual action agitator. Not the vortex that we remember like the old machines, but one of the better ones on the market today if you like the traditional agitator.
I just got this washer from Home Depot. A floor model for $447.00 with tax. I like the features, speed wash is great for a small load of gym clothes. I’ve done loads of towels, a queen size comforter. No complaints here. Compared to no old no frills Amana this is a rolls Royce!

how is the washing machine, does it clean clothes well
I own this model. I've had zero problems with it. It actually washes, rinses and spins the clothes nearly dry.
I have it too, it's pretty decent, but sometimes it goes off balance easily. And it makes unpleasant noises
This washer sounds like a Maypool bravos/cabrio. The wash action seems excellent

Thanks for your well thought out input... You made some good points.
It's supposed to fill the tub up with water when set to SUPER at the load size selectdor. if that doens't work, you can always use the bulky setting
My agitator moves but not that powerful just very little. What could be the problem? Thanks!
What laundry detergent did you use 🤔
Thank you for making this excellent detailed video. I have this unit, it is constantly unbalanced, water fills on spin cycle after a few rotations and clothes come out soaking wet. Replaced the suspension rods but still happening. The machine is only 3 years old. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey Kirk, does this machine have an automatic second rinse? According to GE's website they do but I cannot find the option anywhere...
Hi there you look cute
I guess that's what torque sounds like.
I’ve noticed all GE’s and only GE’s as far as I know spin the drum in the opposite direction. Interesting..
Aside from pulling and tugging theclothes, this is good ? Lol the spiral agitator and the flo thru lint filter was the best
Ramped agitator. This top agitator is useless
I just bought the 335 model of this washer. When I washed a light-weight, thin full size mattress cover, the machine shook like crazy during the final spin cycle and made a lot of noise. I've never heard anything like it. I thought the machine was going to explode! I could not pause it to redistribute the load because of the stupid lid lock! A machine shouldn't be so over sensitive anyway.
You can press the "pause" button and the lid will unlock after the basket stops turning.
How did you get it to spin without closing the lid? Mine broke the latch and they won’t fix it until next week, I at lest want to wash what’s in there right now, can you help?
Graciela Granda did you fix it?.???
There’s a way to bypass the lid lock
@@toxclegend What is it? I'd like to know too. The lid lock is a pain.
Hi Kirk, I see that this is a 3.8 capacity. Can I get this washer in at least a 4.0 capacity? I noticed with some models, they don't offer a larger or smaller size. Thanks!
This model is 4.2 volume i believe. In the store looking at it.
Thank you for posting this video. The agitator seems very noisy almost like it's grinding against something but not really a grinding noise just a struggling noise like it's struggling to get through the clothes. I have an older Maytag that was made right before they converted to locking lids for top loaders. The agitator in a pre wash cycle moves far faster than this does. It moves about as fast at normal speed as this agitator moves if I double the speed on the TH-cam video. I'm just wondering why that is, especially for a Speed Wash? To be honest I think based on your video I am not going to get this washing machine. Now I know what others are saying when they say this machine is noisy compared to some earlier machines
Hi, I just got the 2019 version of this machine. It is NOT any noisier than the older top loaders. It also does NOT vibrate like people are saying. I'm convinced that those people are not leveling their machines. And when I say leveling, I mean getting the level out. As far as cleaning, I feel like it's been doing a great job. It even managed to remove some dingy ring around the collar type soiling off of a shirt. Granted it was not a cotton shirt, but still I think it did a fine job. It also does not feel chintzy to me. I bought the basic one ...4.2 cu ft. The only complaint I have is the matching dryer does not have a light inside the drum (when fishing for socks ;)), and it doesn't have that extra fluff time so that clothes don't get wrinkled. I have to believe that GE does this so that you are forced to buy the more expensive one. I say that because I have always bought cheaper machines and all have included these features. However, the machine that included these features was huge. I guess these appliance companies assume everyone has a McMansion today. Too bad that they don't offer nicer appliances in the smaller sizes too. Found that to be true with fridges as well.
Plastic gears believe it or not. IT's a travesty the way they build these things today.
Kirk also wanted to add that this machine doesn't seem to have the high spin speed that the Maytag has??? Looks like Maytag is going to be the winner for 2018??? Too bad I can't say the same for the new Speed Queen!!! Have a great night!!!
You too man! If someone came into my store shooting, I would still hide behind the Speed Queen (2017 or 2018).
Thanks. How do you activate soak mode? I do not see it in the manual. I am going to try pausing the wash overnight. update: 1/11/2021 I use manual mode by pausing after the machine fills with water and begins to wash. That gives me 24 hours to restart before the water drains out. I have only forgotten to restart once.
NM1000 you can manually soak or the machine uses the soak mode when the dial is placed on delicates
Before you start the machine, when you turn the cycle dial, the cycle status lights will turn on letting you know what that selected cycle will do. E.g drain and spin turns on the spin light to show that’s what that cycle will do. I think the machine only soaks the clothes when you set it to whites heavy, deep clean, and delicates I think.
The heavy cycles have a 10 minute soak
That is the normal sound for these new center post agitator washing washing machines... It's ok... It's not struggling..
Patrick Santini Yup I have the same unit but with the wash plate no agitator makes exactly the same sounds.
Sir god day I’m ask something regarding spare parts ge model WWRE6260D1WW washer top loading I needs parts under agitator already damage we need replace it thanks so much sir
How do you bypass LED switch
Hurray for gentle "bubble fins!"
Not a bad design right?
It's the best bottom plate that ive ever seen on an agitator. I don't know why whirlpool isn't using the same bottom plate that they use on Maytag's agitator washers combined with the corkscrew upper unit used in the Roper built Whirlpool, Roper and Amanda machines. Straight vanes on a lower plate combined with the quick full rotation pulses on thes machines isn't a good idea. GE's two stage should set the mark. The Whirlpool is still better built. Whirlpool has it all in their tool box. They need to package it correctly.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻
This looks similiar to the GE gtw335asnww
Are these similiar in performance?
I think the cubic feet is smaller on this model, not sure.
I came here to make sure my new GE is supposed to make that grinding noise during the wash cycle.
Plastic gears
Please sir update me if we have available her in Philippines thanks so much
Me hubiera gustado ver q ciclos puso🇲🇽
En el Titulo dice que ciclo puso. Speed wash.
You should do the model on light cycle
Locking the lid during the spin cycle isn't really a new thing. My old Frigidaire top loader from 2000 would do that. Only when it fills, agitates, and drains is when the lid is unlocked. It also lacked a tub brake like this GE.
If you think about it, a tub break is just something mechanical to go wrong.
@@LlyleHunter We never had any problem with tub brakes on our vintage Whirlpool and Kenmore top loaders. It speeds up the process. It can take over a minute for the tub to stop spinning, especially since they now spin faster than they used to.
How do you do to see all the functions with the lid open?
That's what I want to know... I want to know how they disengage the locking mechanism for the lid because I want that done on the machine I get. I've had old school washing machines prior to that feature being installed as a standard
I have the same question. Please respond. Thanks!
Me three?
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. When I open the lid the agitator stops.
@@zoem.6376he just bypasses the lid switch.
I agree that the new washers are horrible. Takes less water but more electricity because the whole process of washing and especially spinning takes forever. Thank you for sharing this video it helps me deciding cycles to choose.
How did you keep door open the whole cycle?
He bypassed it by taking off the things that hold the lid shut and put them in the holes but left the lid open
We had a problem with dryer. Made by Samsung.. how are is the dryer in this same model?
My samsung dryer just died after only two years. Technician said it would be a 400 dollar fix!!! Going with a simple model like this for next time.
How did you get it to do the full cycle with the door open
I have the same question.
Magnet
I think he insert a screwdriver in the right hand corner where it locks
Hope you'll be able to review the new Speed Queen washers. Did you hear about what happened to Lorain Furniture and him getting blacklisted by Speed Queen?
I heard about it. I feel bad for Lorain Furniture. I'm sure he knew the impact of his actions, he basically gave Speed Queen no choice. I have seen the washer up close and seen it taken apart. I was impressed and cannot wait to get them in my store.
@@kirkrivas8172 so I guess being honest gave speed queen no choice to blacklist him? That sounds shady as hell to me.
Hello my name is Nikki. We just got this same washer machine on March 14th 2019. We having trouble with the water level.
Hi Nikki. I just this set delivered today after switching out the Maytag Bravo impeller set. It was a nightmare. I can’t believe how we the consumers can be charged so much for something that doesn’t do what it was made to do which is CLEAN CLOTHES. Sooo I had Lowe’s to pick the set up and bring me this set because it’s as close to the old school washer as it’s gonna get. My washer filled up to Satisfaction indeed and it’s washing my clothes. Can’t wait to see the end results. The sound isn’t that bad like some are saying. However if your washer isn’t filling up, then you should contract the store and let them know right away because it’s suppose to Fill up on the level u select. BE SURE TO NOT SELECT “PRECISE FILL” the will fill only according to the wt of your load. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and praying this down grade is a great option. Good Luck.
My mom wasn't even playing she call Lowe's Department and they came out to pick up the washer. Now we got a different washer machine. We are so happy. Dont never waste your money to buy GE.
Nikki Love which you bought it im soo confused buying a washer recently i return my whitlpool washer coz it fills the water below the load of cloths
@@nikkilove4934 can you tell me which model you got? And does it have a short cycle wash option? Thanks
Should i get this washer or the GTW460ASJWW?
don't get a GE.....
Get the 335 works great.
kirk I think this would be a good machine for a small family doing average size loads... this load seemed to handle well as an average load but, doesn't do to well on those extra large loads... Maybe if the agitator had fins instead of those humps it might do a better job at turning over a large load??? Once again Loved the video though. Thanks!!!
Fins wouldn't improve ciculation over humps. These humps are as high as most normal fins including Whirlpool direct drives, The of Maytag, recent Speed Queens. It's not as high as a Norge's agitator was. The difference is in the shape of the bottom of the tub. It's the same thing that makes a good blender. If it had a curved bottom like the old Maytags, the current Whirlpool, Amana and Roper machines and Speed Queen it would have turnover as all had been the best at it. High humps are a major improvement and should be combined with a two stage and perforations bored through the bottom of the agitator leading upward exiting through the sides of the upper agitator could substantially increase circulation. Having humps will eliminate piling on fabric (Those little fiber balls that form on cloth that's been laundered allot). I think that the washplate non center post agitator should use higher humps too for better circulation as well as angled bottomed tubs to facilitate rollover.
To clarify because of a typo, I was referring to the old Maytags
I have this same washer and hate it!!! the washer level never makes it to the agitators and clothes on top are dry.
They say hold that button down 3 seconds.......I hate mind too! just got it!
I held mine down for 3 seconds the deep fill light came on but it didnt add any more water than it did before the deep fill! Also mine locks during the wash cycle and it sounds like it is dying a slow death! It does not sound like the agitator is moving very well at all. I put it on a large load and it filled to a medium sized load and with the deep fill option on it still was a medium sized load water level. We didn't have it a day and I called and they are bring a replacement tomorrow so we shall see if the one we got was defective or if it is just a crap machine!
I've ever been able to get more than 6 inches of water in mine....hate it
No detergent?
yes he added a little bit 4:36
You're suppose to pour until you see suds
Gracias pero le falto que pusiera la cámara en los sensores
3 minute wash, 2 1/2 minute spin, 3 minute rinse, 4 minute final spin.
How the door get open while doing a full cycle
override switch.
Why can't they use firmer struts for the tub?
I just got through shooting the one blanket test tonight. This machine is taking a beating. I'll film the two blanket test tomorrow. But it does seem the suspension is getting louder. I did the bubbles for you bro!
Thank You. You Da MAN!
That's what happens when you you get bought out by a portable washer company. A motor and suspension worthy of a compact washer.
Bruce Solomon
Im guessing if the struts were firmer , the machine would dance around the floor do to its light weight. Just a guess.
Seams like washers and dryers are made bad now. Even Maytag and whirlpool.
@barb lee you can always count on the government to keep screwing us.
My Maytag eco-friendly HE doesnt even soak the clothes, on the top you can see dry clothes just wiggling around
@barb lee Even with the hot water selection. They mandated that the manufacturers control the hot water output.
Speed Queen is Key
I think both of those brands no longer make good machines.
okay but why does he sound like dr. Phil sndnfnkrje 😂💀💀💀💀
It will not feel with the water
The agitator looks funny.
The rollover is very aggressive
I just got back from doing laundry at my parents house... you don't know aggressive!!! They have a Maytag commercial from about twenty years ago. The turnover is AMAZING!!! Puts all these to shame...
Nope, rollover means scraping off everything dirty.
Let it be aggressive..it was the same way in the 70's through the 2000's. Don't be a softie
could you try washing some dirty clothes? I need a machine for washing firefighter coats and pants and also cowboy clothes.
I rarely do dirt test but here are some examples.

I would love to find a machine that can handle that kind of dirty still. What have you found?

Smart Advice: Leave your washer on (Speed Wash)...turn your Rinse (off)....also turn your Soak (off)....23 minutes.....I don't have time to listen to a loud, shaky washer.....
Thank you, the noise doesn't bother me but 55 mins to wash a load um...yes!
Weird
Compré una y no tiene ni un mes de comprada y ya se dañó suerte que tenía garantía no la recomiendo
why is this washer SO NOISY ???.. during the Agitation and the Spin cycle???????????... it sounds like it's about to Fly APART.....
No noisier than the old Norges were
Is it supposed to be quiet? It's washing clothes
What a silly Agipeller design! And it looks like that it will never get a full out large load done correctly
It's not. It works. I have the 2019 version. It's a dual action agitator. Not the vortex that we remember like the old machines, but one of the better ones on the market today if you like the traditional agitator.
THE BODHI12345
The agitator that causes clothes to somersault
WTF does 'CASUALS' mean? This guy does a lot of videos, but he doesn't seem to know anything about the machines he's making videos of 🙄🤔😐
Casuals is basically a permanent press cycle. Also casuals means like casual clothing.
