To reduce the number of weekly loads, look for a GE washer and dryer pair with larger capacity. GE offers washers with up to 4.5 cu. ft. of capacity, and dryers with capacities up to 7.5 cu. ft.

Do you typically wash large items, such as comforters, at home?
A large-capacity washing machine and dryer makes it easier to wash bulky items at home.

Do you have a wardrobe that requires special care?
Look for GE washers and dryers with settings designed specifically to provide gentle care to delicate fabrics.

Do you wish to save money and energy in the laundry room?
Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on the washing machine. ENERGY STAR qualified appliances must meet federal standards for energy savings.
