GE Washer model S3700

GE Washer model S3700 This model has 16 cycles and three speeds. The controls are fairly basic, and the machine does not have many advanced features.

This is a top loading model, and it has both a liquid bleach dispenser and a fabric softener dispenser accessible when you open the lid. One feature I thought was unique was that the fabric softener dispenser is on top of the agitator. White is the only color that I could find this washer in.

The washer is competent at its job of washing clothes. I have never had any problems with clothes not getting clean, even if I accidentally set the water level one level below where I should, so the agitator must work well.

This can also be a problem, however, if you tend to put too much soap in your wash because the agitation will cause the soap to foam up and out of the machine, leaving a sticky mess on your floor. Also, it will occasionally become unbalanced during the spin cycle, but this is not frequent. One small problem that I noticed is that it takes in cold water very slowly.

If you wash you clothes in only cold water to save on hot water bills then it could take you a while to finish all of your laundry. This machine is an inexpensive model, and has proven to be a good value.

GE 9 Cycle Heavy Duty Super Capacity

by Patty
(Saginaw)

I have recently purchased a new GE top loading washer. This model has 9 different cycles to choose from along with a super capacity tub. Because I have 5 children I use to wash up to 6 loads of clothes a day. So the feature of having this super large tub has cut my daily wash loads almost in half. This means less time doing laundry, time I can now use to do other things. I like the fact that I have this many cycle choices to choose from.

I like the extra settings for heavy duty clothing and the option to have an extra rinse cycle if I want it. I am especially impressed with how clean my clothes come out. I have never had the gentle cycle option. I have found the gentle cycle to be very helpful when it comes to washing my daughter’s cheerleading uniform, along with some of our other fine hand washable clothing. One of my biggest concerns was the possibility of torn or out of shape clothing after being machined washed.

But when using my new GE washer I have found my clothing to always come out unharmed. This has saved me from having to spend unnecessary time washing them by hand. I have recently started teaching my daughter how to wash her clothes. Because the cycles are easily displayed on the front of the machine it has made teaching her what cycles to use for what load of clothes very easy.

My new machine is very quiet when running and I am waiting to see what my savings will be because this model is advertised as an energy saving model. I would also like to comment on the cost. When I was out looking for a new machine, I found that for what I needed in washing machine, GE provided all of my needs at a price much lower then any of the other leading manufacturers.

I would definitely encourage you to shop around and seriously look at choosing a GE when the need arises for you to purchase your next washing machine. I am sure you will be more then satisfied in the results you will see in the quality it does when washing along with the price savings it will offer you.

GE Super Plus Capacity Washer WHDSR315DAWW

I bought this washer about two years ago at Home Depot because the salesman highly recommended it. He said he bought it for his wife and I'm sure glad he suggested it. I haven't had any troubles with this machine and I usually have to get my machine repaired after having it for only a year. I do a lot of laundry and so I wear my machines out pretty quickly.

I love that you can choose between three wash and spin combinations and set the water temperature. It is really easy to use and you can even set it to the type of fabric you are washing. I was always confused about my clothing care, but GE has made it easy for users by placing a little reminder chart under the lid of the washing machine.

This washer is pretty quiet and you hardly notice it is on. I do notice it a bit during the spin cycle, but I don't mind because it just reminds me to add in my softener. There is a compartment for softener in the middle of the machine that automatically dispenses softener, but I prefer to put it in myself. I love that I can also choose to do a second rinse to get out that extra soap I put in my blankets.

I have owned this washing machine for over a year now. It came with my condo, so I didn't actually have much choice in the features or brand. All in all, though, I like the machine.

Just a quick overview of the features it has:
Super Capacity Plus, 10 Cycle, Heavy Duty, Exclusive Auto Balance System, Quiet by Design

It has 3 different types of cycles: Cottons, Easy Care, and Delicates. I mostly use the Cottons, have used the Easy Care, but never the delicates (sorry, I do those by hand). The cottons cycle breaks down even further into Light, Medium, Heavy, Extra Heavy, and Auto-Soak. Generally, I will use the Light or Medium Cycle. The difference between these is just how long the washer will agitate the clothes. I can tell how long the wash cycle is going to take from this nifty row of LEDs that have a time value. It also has LEDs stating the rest of the cycles (Drain, Spin, etc.).

It also has a very large capacity. With the levels ranging from Small, Large, and Super, I can always fit what I want in the washer. However, I find that my dryer works just a little better when I don't overload it with clothes. Since this washer can hold so much, I have to be careful.

During the cycle, the washer tends to be the loudest when it is filling. After that, it isn't too bad (if I close the door). The washer is in a utility room right next to my living room, just to give you some perspective of how quiet it might need to be while I'm watching a movie, for example. I have never had an issue with the balance. I take some care in making sure I don't put all my clothes on one side of the basket, but it does a good job of balancing it no matter how else I arrange them. This probably helps with it being quiet too.

The bleach holder on the side is a nice feature so that it dispenses bleach during the cycle. Though, I have only used this twice.

The temperatures are pretty standard. It is rare that I use the Hot cycle, usually Warm or Cold.

I unfortunately don't know how this compares to other washers for the price, because I didn't purchase it. However, I assume it is a fairly basic model, as it came with the condo when it was built in 2002. That can give a little perspective on how it is holding up, too. It seems pretty durable.

The spin cycle seems to be powerful enough that it gets most of the water out of the clothes. I don't have problems with clothes coming out dripping wet.

All in all, I am happy with the washer. I holds all the clothes I need to put in there (quite a few, I wait as long as possible), it doesn't get out of balance when it is full, it's quiet enough to be close to my living room, and it seems to do a good job with the clothes. Recommended, overall.

This is a very good washing machine. It's better than the one I had in my last apartment, which was an older whirlpool. This specific machine has a decent appearance. It's white plastic. Simple and functional. I would not go so far as to say elegant or impressive, but it does not look overtly old. It does not disgrace the entire apartment with its ugliness. But as I said, neither does it enhance the place or look expensive.

Let's talk about reliability. It has never failed on me once. The model I had before, a Whirlpool, was prone to jamming. It would simply seize up and stop working. The repairmen could fix the problem in a few minutes, but it was rather disturbing and unpleasant. Nothing will ruin your day like a broken washing machine. Fortunately, this model by GE (General Electric) does not have this problem. It is a workhorse.

I would say that it does a very good, if not spectacular, job on the dishes. Glasses and bowls come out spotless. If I put a very dirty pan in, say with eggs stuck on, it will probably still have some food on it at the end of the cycle. Occasionally, forks will not come out clean. Large knives usually do.

One good thing about this washing machine is that the upper rack gets washed. The machine has a spout which rises out of the bottom of the center of the lower rack. It sprays the top rack, so that even when the bottom rack is jammed full, water makes it to the upper rack. Dishes there come out clean consistently.

The interface is easy to use and I have not had any problems with it. LIke on most dishwashers, you simply turn a dial. I don't pay much attention to the specific setting. It gives you buttons for eight different energy settings. I never pay any attention to that though.

Ant that, in conclusion, is what I like so much about this GE dishwasher. I don't have to think about it. It just does the job. Yes, I have to put the dishes in there myself, but I do not, thankfully, have to do much else. I definitely give it a thumbs up.

GE Profile WPSQ3120T Washing Machine

Pros
- Easy and convenient to use
- Does a good job of cleaning

Cons
- Bad design of cycle selector dial mechanism. - Repair service is expensive.

Over all rating 4

The GE Profile WPSQ3120T is a super large capacity, top loading washing machine. It features three wash/spin speeds: gentle/slow; normal/slow; and normal/fast. You can choose between four different wash/rinse temperatures: cold/cold; warm/cold; warm/warm; and hot/cold.

It has an optional extra rinse feature, and an audible automatic cycle signal that beeps when the washing machine has finished its wash, rinse, and spin cycles. It has eight different wash cycles: cottons regular; permanent press; knits; delicates; auto hand wash; auto soak; pre wash; and power wash.

The washing machine includes a built-in liquid bleach dispenser, and a removable fabric softener dispenser. The inside of the washing machine lid includes a step by step instructional chart for basic washing machine operation, which is clearly visible when the lid is open.

The included owner's manual provides detailed operating instructions. The manual also includes several pages of suggested handling for special items, and suggestions for stain removal. Operation of the GE Profile WPSQ3120T washing machine is fairly easy and straight forward. Load size is selected via a rotating dial. Wash and spin speed is selected via individual push buttons, as is the selection of wash and rinse temperatures. Selection of the various wash cycles is done via a large dial.

This dial is my biggest point of frustration with the operation of this washing machine, as the dial pointer does not line up correctly with the various cycle selection points. It is also difficult to position it in the exact correct location, often resulting in going beyond the desired point, and requiring full rotation of the knob to try to hit your mark.

Our GE Profile WPSQ3120T washing machine does a good job of cleaning clothes and other items. The top load design features a nice, wide opening for easy loading and unloading. Its super large capacity is a definite plus, allowing us to clean more items with fewer washing loads. The audible automatic cycle signal beep alert is convenient. We bought our GE Profile WPSQ3120T washing machine new in 1995.

It has been a reliable washing machine, requiring service only once in the 14 years we've owned it. The service was due to a broken cycle selection mechanism.

Since my husband and I were married, we have been using used washing machines and dryers handed down to us from family members. This changed when we bought our new home. For the first time we bought a brand new washing machine with a dryer to match.

Our washing machine is a GE and so far as been great for my laundry needs. It is a top loading machine and is pretty basic in regards to settings and options. This machine features 3 buttons for load size, temperature and cycle selection.

I am able to choose between 3 load sizes, small, large and super. I am able to set the temperature controls to cold, warm or hot. However, the rinsing cycles are always done in cold water. There are nine cycles to choose from for both casual and white washes.

I am unsure of the exact load capacity of this washing machine, but I am able to easily wash quilts and blankets, with the exception of king sized comforters. We are a family of four and I am able to keep up with my washing duties easily.
I have used both powder and liquid detergent in this washing machine. Due to recent household budgeting changes, I am mostly using powder detergent. It seems to perform fine with both types. Although cheaper brand powder clumps up, I assume this has nothing to do with the machine because name brands do not do this. I also use a laundry softener which I put into a ball. This also performs fine in the machine.

In the past, I have had issues with machines becoming off balance very easy. I have had this machine for over a year and it has been off balance only one time while washing blue jeans. This was easily resolved and the washing machine showed no signs of damage.

I do have one complaint. The knob on the wash cycle selection does not properly turn. I am unsure if this is something that I have unknowingly done or if it is a common issue with this machine.

It can be very difficult to turn at times. Overall, I am really satisfied with the performance of my GE washing machine.
