We've owned a GE "Infusion" agitatorless "energy saving" washing
machine for about 2 months now. I have not had fully clean
clothes
for about 2 months. These things are a piece of crap, they use
about
a gallon of water so the clothes basically slosh around in a
small mud
puddle, never getting fully clean. Forget about getting out
tough
stains, also clothes have an odor as they never fully rinse (not
enough water) the rinse cycle is another small mud puddle. The
washer
does not even fill enough to wet all the clothes until after 10
minutes of running. They enclosed a large yellow warning in the
manual that this is "normal", bull****, they're just covering
their
asses on complaints. I called the GE consumer line and the guy
told
me flat out nobody is happy with these washers.

I'm just warning others thinking of getting one of the GE
agitatorless
washers. Stick with the tried and true, get the agitator and one
that
uses a lot of water if you want it to, get a Whirlpool with
mechanical
controls. Just trying to save someone else the headache and
money.

Maybe if you live in a desert, but I'm in the Great Lakes, I
dont need
to conserve water to this extent water's practically free here.
These
washers have set things back to beating clothes on a rock.

I should have read the reviews first, they are not good, I'm not
the
only one having dirty clothes all the time.

Thank you.

I didn;t even know these existed. I thought all top loaders used an
agitator and the only washers that did not were front-loaders. The
front-loaders work with far less water and energy, but they cost
significantly more. I guess this shows the risk when you buy
something that isn't tried and proven. Surprising GE would sell them
if they perform so poorly. Anyone else make them? Thanks for the
heads up

We've have a Whirlpool Cabrio agitatorless top-loader for a few years
with no
problems, other than it has to be run empty, with bleach,
periodically. We
bought it because the front-loaders had a miserable long-term
reliability
record and were betting on this top-loader being a good trade-off. So
far
we're happy with it. - Hide quoted text -

How do you do pre-soaking of a large load. Does water cover all the
clothes. The GE one only puts a 2 inch puddle on the bottom.

The same way you do it in any other machine. Yes, the level adjusts all
the
way to the "top", just like any other top-loader.- Hide quoted text -

No, the manual specifically says the clothes will be dry at the
beginning because only a small amount of water will be at bottom of
the drum. Then the clothes eventually settle into, what I like to
call, "that mud puddle". Even when set on super size water level and
two rinses so little water is used that the dirt simply does not leave
and the clothes at the top of the pile dont even start getting wet
until 10 minutes into the cycle. Pre-soaking is not a capability
either, because that would involve allowing the drum to actually fill
with water. So I cant pre-soak my greasy pants after I work on the
car, glad the kids are not in diapers that would truly be a nightmare
with this machine.

LIke I told you in a prior post...your controls are FAULTY or your
settings are incorrectly programmed. Have you even checked to see if
the water hose valves are even fully opened and clear of silt, etc.?

Get someone with expertise to check this machine out...there is
something fishy here.

The machine may actually be working as designed, although his observations
sound absurd. But in order for him to have any kind of a case against GE, it
would be a good idea to arrange for a service call while the thing is under
warranty. This way, someone else can document their observations.
