In terms of loading capacity, the GE WBVH5300 can accommodate more loads wth its 4 cu. ft. size, which is ideal for large families or anyone who does heavy washing or has drapes or bedding to wash week after week.
This front-loading washing machine has a LED indicator that shows the cycle that is currently in progress. This way, users don't have to worry much about their laundry or even keep coming back just to check.
The HydroMotion wash action system of this washer offers a more thorough cleaning performance, which is achieved through the reversal wash action. Its efficiency also comes from its ability to track water pressure and store information from previous cycles through its Adaptive Logic System. The recorded information is then used by the washer to calculate optimal cycle times. These intuitive features take away much of the responsibility from the user.
To best care for the fabric, the GE WBVH5300 has the PerfectTemp management system that controls the temperature of the water. The fabric is well taken care of because aside from its PerfectTemp system, it also has four options for wash/rinse temperature, which is truly helpful in effectively removing dirt and even stains. This could also aid the slowing down of the wear and tear process of the fabric.
Another good feature of this washing machine that users would really find useful is the spin/speed combination. This makes washing more effective by enabling the users to alternate the speed of the spin. If users have no need for heavy and thorough washing, they can opt for the other speed washing controls of the GE WBVH5300.
This washer also has up to 14 wash cycles and has a delay option for soaking the laundry a little longer or for leaving it for a while. With its 1000 RPM spin speed, this washer really works fast without causing any damage to the fabric. A special insulating material allows for its silent spinning. It works just as hard as
any washer but doesn't whine as much.
