This ENERGY STAR(R) washer is in harmony with the environment too. Water levels are matched to load size, resulting in water and energy savings. Harmony uses up to 42 percent less water than a traditional topload machine and up to 50 percent less energy than the DOE energy conservation standard. Plus, it meets 2007 energy standards.

The HydroWash system uses as little as 17 gallons of water for a small load and an average of 24 gallons for an average-sized load(3). The Harmony washer also meets the criteria to earn the Consortium for Energy Efficiency 3A Tier rating, one of the highest efficiency ratings possible.

GE Profile and GE(R) washers are "America's Most Dependable Washers!" GE Profile and GE washers have the lowest repair frequency among leading brands purchased since 2001, according to an independent national survey of consumers who purchased a leading brand washer from 2001-2004.

At the end of the wash cycle, the washer communicates information about the wash load electronically to the dryer, helping eliminate the guesswork in the laundry room A laundry room (also called a utility room) is a room where clothes are washed.
