Less Time Spent Doing Laundry
The new GE Profile Harmony Clothes Care System uses modern design and smart technology to tackle the toughest laundry. The GE Profile Harmony Clothes Care System can save consumers from washing up to 110 loads per year. Harmony is big enough to handle 24 towels. Its king-size 4.0-cubic-foot stainless steel washer basket makes room for more items, which means fewer loads per week. Harmony’s washer matches water levels to load size, resulting in water and energy savings. 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. Its adaptive high spin speed means better water extraction and less dry time. The fastest premium dryer you can buy, Harmony’s dryer features the DuoDry system, which quickly and consistently dries all types of clothes. The system uses two motors — an industry first — to maintain proper airflow and control tumbling action to ensure fast, even drying. Spend less time pondering how to get out that tough stain, too. The Harmony washer easily and effectively treats more than 80 stains, optimizing wash cycles based on stain type, fabric and garment color, taking the guesswork out of treating stains. There’s also no need to program the dryer. Once the washer is programmed, the dryer option settings are communicated through a computer cable.
