Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Dries in good time, but lacking a few things...

JenC34 7/15/2022

I have no complaints about the dry time. This dryer dries just as fast if not faster than the gas dryer I replaced it with. I like the air dry setting and the extended tumble option. However, a few things were disappointing to me. The knob to choose the main setting does not click or give any indication that you've landed on the right spot - it's also a little hard to turn and feels like you might break it. You have to close the door pretty hard to make sure it latches. And finally, the lint catcher just feels cheap and is tricky to get back in.

Product good, lasted 11 years price point less than $450.00. Prior had LG front loader, repaired twice, $350.00 EACH TIME + PAID $799.99 FOR IT. Stupid purchase, stupid price. At or around GE $450.00 for 11 years much smarter deal

GE an American Product

Brina50 7/12/2022

We have had our Dryer less than a week so anything concerning reliability and function other than GE being a trusted American Brand is moot. While registering online for warranty reasons a prize of $2,500 was offered for best review so I figured "why not"!

What I expect from a dryer

PattyA621 7/10/2022

I've only had it four days but I've tested it well! First load on cotton setting- 2 oversized beach towels, 3 bath towels, several washcloths and 3 kitchen towels. Dried quickly, thoroughly and without getting too hot. Next I did delicates on the lowest setting. Same results- dried quickly and thoroughly and almost wrinkle free. Last load was shorts, tee shirts, etc on casual setting. Same excellent results! Very happy with our purchase so far!

Large enough for x large loads

Happy Retiree 2022 7/9/2022

So far I really love my new dryer. It dries my clothes in half the time as before. Its very large inside the drum for big loads. I do wish the buzzer sound was louder. We have it to alert us when dryer is done, but we can't hear it from our basement laundry room. Even on high. But the advantages far out way this minor detail.

GREAT SIMPLE DRYER

lake life2022 6/29/2022

I wanted a dryer that would dry large bed spreads and not have all the electronics that seem to go out! I love this dryer because I can easily adjust to exactly the type of load I have and even my grandson who has moved in with me can do the same. So many brands that are appearing in stores here do not have the same sturdy features.
