Cool, can't wait to see what you think!& good luck with the new pair! I've have become a fan of Ge as of late, I have a 2012 hydrowave and the folks have a 2010 seems like a sturdy well built washer line up that Ge has put together.

Congratulations! I'm very curious about how the steam option works in a top-loader. The new GEs have been getting decent reviews, too. Looking forward to photos and a user review.

the only drawback is about the dryer, after reading the manual online, seems like the dryer needs a water line for the steam, well, i don't have a water line and i can't use the washers water line because my washer is across from my dryer not right next to it, i like that lg has a tank you can refill, that's more user friendly.

I too am intrigued by this set and look forward to seeing a video of it in action! Now for the steam feature on the dryer...I have a GE Profile dryer with the Steam feature and I used it maybe twice. It works ok but I can iron faster and do a better job than the dryer can. I think that you wont miss it even you have it and if you decided to get it hooked up you might find its kinda meh...just my opinion, your milage may vary.

mike, i agree with you, my partner and i discussed it the other nite and agreed that we really won't miss it, but at least if we move the option is there but i wont miss it, if you wan to get wrinkles out just put a damp cloth in with the clothes.

there is a seperate electric pump for the recirculation system but the smart dispense just uses the water pressure from the water line to draw detergent/softener up through the tube, interesting, there is a tank flush that the machine can do, ge says it's only needed if you switch detergents or accidentally put powder or bleach in the dispenser.

Eddie,
I have been thinking of purchasing this washer too. Will be eagerly waiting for your review. I'm very excited for you! (I have had my eye on this model and the new right-height front loader.)

Very exciting!
Been looking through the service manual but it basically just describes how you take the thing apart - no info on cycles or anything. :-/

well we got our new ge set yesterday, thought i would share this video with everyone real quick, the quality is not great but it was taken with an iphone 5s but it might be because it was sent to me through email, i love this machine so much! is very quiet has a recirculation system, this was the whites cycle which uses the least amount of water, there is no heavy duty cycle, the manual says to use whites cycle for heavy duty items, the clothes circulate really well, it does a great job on comforters, my partner used the sanitize cycle on his whites this morning, his dirty socks were snowy white, clothes are much cleaner than the 2010 frigidaire top load.

Glad you like your new washer! It has been getting good reviews. I like that it has an internal heater so you can wash in actual hot water. Looking forward to descriptions of how cycles work, etc. Congratulations!
GE Steam Dryer
It may be very easy to connect the dryer to your homes water supply, you can easily use an ice-maker polybutealene flexible tubing kit from where the washer is, these 1/4" water line kits are as easy as running a wire to a computer- TV etc. I would diffidently try out this feature since you paid all that money for it.

ha speaking of dryers, one very big disapointment, we plugged the dryer in and turned it on, the dryer was so loud my bf and i looked at eachother and said "no way" anyways, the dryer has a bad bearing right out of the box, making a grinding like metal on metal sound, we went right back to the store we got it from one hour later (sargent appliance) and told them about the dryer, and they ordered us a BRAND NEW dryer no questions asked, i am still using the bad dryer being is the new one takes a week to come in, when we were at the store we had the salesman plug in the dryer that was on the showroom floor and turn it on and it was quiet as a mouse!!!
