A new wave in topload
technology has arrived.
ge.com
GE Profile
™
and GE® topload
washers now feature the
revolutionary HydroWave
™
wash system, designed for
superior cleaning performance
and greater dependability.
The HydroWave wash system
agitates with a variable speed,
wave-like motion to effectively
clean everything from the most
heavily soiled clothes to the
finest delicates. It’s as gentle
as frontload.
The HydroWave wash system
is surprisingly quiet. No more
“chug, chug, chugging”—just
a smoother agitation that
makes it possible to bring the
washer out of the basement
and into the kitchen or other
living area.

What’s new: HydroWave™ wash system with exceptional quiet
Wash big. Dry fast. Get on with life.
New HydroWave™ wash action gives GE Profile™ and GE® topload washers the advantage of
variable agitation speeds designed to match the clothing type and cleaning needs of every load.
The smooth, 360-degree stroke of the agitator moves clothes through the water more slowly,
delivering thorough–yet completely gentle–cleaning performance.
