Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Poor Quality - Garbage Product
Dryer was purchased in February 2026 and it lasted 6 months. Trying to use the warranty is worse than dealing with the secretary of state in Michigan. I would expect a dryer to last a few years before having any issues. Time to find a new appliance brand that makes a reliable product because GE is now GARBAGE!!!

nope
I just got my dishwasher in June and I am already have trouble with it. I keep getting an Error 20. I called the extra insurance I purchased which turned out to be a waste of money. I was told to do somethings on my own instead of sending out a tech because according to them there was nothing broken that I couldn't fix myself. Had I know this was going to be a problem i would have saved my money. I did everything the person from the insurance company told me to do and I still have the same ...

Love this Simple No-Frills Dryer
Our new GE gas dryer was installed today. We have dried three loads already. Everything came out dry and not wrinkled, on the "medium" heat setting. I like this "no-frills" type of dryer with only four dry cycles and three temperature selections, and the start button. I see that others complained about the end-of-cycle buzzer, but we never hear it because the dryer is where it should be -- in the basement. Thanks GE, love it!

In my budget buy
For the wonderful price I got the dryer for it’s working for sure and happy with it so far! Couldn’t afford to replace the one that I had and loved! This was more so in my price range. I’m happy that I have a new dryer period! Then I get a work email 40% off all GE appliances to help out even more too close for comfort!

Cold
Very frustrated with my new dryer, didn't even have it a month and it doesn't heat up, so it won't dry the clothing. Had to call a repairman, that took a week and then a part has to be ordered that is still not hear. Hopefully it isn't a lemon.

Satisfactory - Not thrilled
The buzzer is way too loud and annoying, is there a way to disable or control volume..? There is no light inside the drum, I didn’t think this was a big deal but a light makes a difference. I would rather the door open down and not from the left. My previous dryer was a Kenmore that I had for 14 years, if I was able to purchase another Kenmore I would have. This dryer is satisfactory.

Terrible Dryer
Within a month of buying the dryer in 2024. The motor blew. Had to wait months for the repairman to come. Now it's making a terrible noise. I gave this one star because zero wasn't an option. Do not buy! Would not recommend!

Dryer won't heat up

Always scheduling for repair for a new item.
Doors open when you put a heavy load granting its 7.5 cu.ft and have to call service because the face where the door is attached comes off, I wish I cn return this now since I bought insurance from Allstate and yet even the srne I’m not satisfied, I’m surprise I gave one star for this where suppose to be nine. Thinking you bought a new item hoping there’s no problem but I’ definitely wrong.

Don't Buy
GE needs to pull this dryer off the market. I've had it less than a year and have had multiple service calls. It takes forever to dry. The clothes smell burnt when they come out. I am buying a new dryer because I hate this one so much.
