With a 2.0 cu. ft. 12-cycle washer and a 4.4 cu. ft. 4-cycle dryer in a single appliance, this GE Unitized Spacemaker GUD24GSSJWW laundry center makes it easy to complete your laundry. The Quiet-by-Design package helps you maintain a peaceful home.
Posted by: Picky
I bought this laundry center because it was the only choice on the market that would fit the space I have (depth not width) and not require conversion from gas to electric. After reading every customer review on half dozen sites, I landed on this model to replace my current stack-able washer and dryer. It lacks every luxury feature on the market today but overall it’s working for me so I’ll give it 3.5 stars. It does have issues. Listing things that would have been helpful for me to know in advance.
Helpful to know:
- Rinse and spin cycles are noisy.
- Washer is rough on clothing even using delicate cycle. USE laundry bags for your delicates like bras, lace camis etc…
- Emptying dryer vent is messy! NEVER leave clean clothes around or have the washer door open when emptying the vent. Design flaw is that when you slide open the vent, lint comes falling out.
- No timer bell to alert you that your laundry is done.
- Wash cycle knobs don’t move so must use machine lights to see what stage your laundry is in. Dryer knob does move as it moves thru cycles.
- Small washtub means doing more loads than intended.
- Plastic. Be gentle! Other reviewers complained about knobs falling off. It’s plastic.
- “Auto Load Sensing” doesn’t even work! It appears that other reviewers are right. Not enough water for medium or big loads so I use the power wash which fills up the basket for sheets/towels/large loads.
- Magnetic door keeps washer open when loading
- I find it better to use the time drying feature as it saves time.
- HE laundry detergent – I’ve switched over to HE detergent. Though it’s not required, HE detergent makes fewer suds, which apparently can affect this machine’s performance.

Using best buy:
- changed my appt without my approval – apparently this item is special order which states it on the website but gives inaccurate delivery options (try 2-3 weeks) Never received follow up calls, etc…
- Yes I bought every recommended accessory (gas dryer line, vent kit, stainless steel water hose) because I want this machine to work properly.
- warranty – invested in the 5 year warranty. Machine is plastic.
- delivery guys were great – fast, efficient, cleaned up and showed me how to use it, started it to see if it works, told me plastic smell would wear off.
