Top-load or front-load?

Top-load washers are easier to load without bending, and the GE Profile models here are 28" deep. Front-load washers here are 39 3/4" tall, which suits a stacked or under-counter layout when the product page allows it, but they are deeper. The PFW955SPWDS is 34" deep and the PFW870SSVWW is 32" deep. Only the two front-load models here list a steam cycle.

Agitator or no agitator?

The PTW705BSTWS and PTW605BPRDG list a single action agitator in their product titles. If you are replacing an agitator washer and like how it cleans, these two keep that design. The PTW800BPWRS and PTW700BPTDG list the largest top-load capacity here at 5.4 cu. ft.

What to check before you order

Measure the laundry space and the path into the room before you choose a washer.

  • Width, depth and height, plus room to open the lid or door.
  • A water supply, drain and grounded outlet.
  • For stacking, the stack kit that matches your front-load washer and dryer.
  • The matching GE Profile dryer if you want a pair.
