  • Work's great very efficient, length of regenerating Of salt very nice

    JDub195903/10/2026 10:28 PM

  • This GE water softener is very efficient and was easy to install. Our water hardness has gone away. Truly a great bargain for the price. Thank you GE

    Abel7302/28/2026 07:44 AM

  • It was very easy to install. Guidelines are very clear. As soon as I installed, I felt the difference in the water quality while even washing my hands. Very good product and I strongly suggest it.

    Nickbei12/25/2025 06:53 PM

  • Connecting pipes is a little challenging but rest of the system is wonderful , I will still give 5 stars

    Shantilal12/20/2025 10:38 PM

  • Just installed. Looking forward to soft water in our home.

  • We ordered the identical product and hired installation. Works great!

    Kendall2608/06/2025 07:29 PM

  • Good so far I would recommend to other people keep up the good work

    Dog r07/16/2025 12:35 PM

  • Easy to install and start up the Water Softener backwash after start up

    LazyCat06/03/2025 09:33 PM

  • After about a decade old unit filled with water. Rather than repair went ahead and replaced myself. Installation was extremely easy. Softener has always performed as expected.

    UFGator197605/20/2025 07:30 PM

  • We had our builder install a softener unit in our new build. So far it works perfectly. We are using Morton crystals as recommended by the plumber

    Plowboy6603/28/2025 06:11 PM

  • This is our second GE Water Softener, and after 8 years I'm thinking of replacing it with another GE GXSH40V Water softener. Had no problems with it but keeping it clean and installing salt. Its getting old, and the first time I have any issues, it will be replaced with the same model.

    Titoes03/18/2025 07:19 PM

  • Amazing !! GE products are the best!! We are pleased and highly recommend

    PJA303/18/2025 06:29 PM

  • Great features and ease of installation. Would recommend to all.

    Michael Clovis02/22/2025 03:59 PM

  • This GE water softener has served us well, never had any issues or problems with it. Recommend it.

    DenizI02/04/2025 12:30 AM

  • We have already noticed a difference in the color of the water. 1st week. The install was easy and the features well explained.

    JPM2412/03/2024 08:46 PM

  • This GE softener is the best one I have ever had. The water is super soft and there is never a gap between having and not having soft water. I wholly recommend this unit.

    goldy6911/28/2024 09:06 PM

  • Easy to install, quick to have soft water! Looks like easy to maintain also.

    WCRV11/09/2024 11:55 PM

  • I bought this to replace the GXSH45V system that came with the house 4 years ago whose circuit board died. Since since my previous system is no longer available and replacement cost of the circuit board was only 100 or so dollars less than replacement of the entire system, I bought a new system. We will see how things go. Do it yourself installation was a breeze since the hookups were identical to my old system. I'll update this if it goes south. By the way the replacement cost of that particular circuit board should be somewhere in the area of 150 bucks instead of 600.

    BrianBz10/08/2024 10:44 PM

  • Replaced with the SAME water softener, very pleased with the product.

    trained animal09/01/2024 07:19 PM

  • We have one downstairs at our home in Imlay City, MI. It’s great and can’t be more thankful to have one!

    BCakes08/29/2024 11:35 PM

  • Bought a GE softener in 2004 and gave me great service. Just replaced it with a new unit because they are a good value. Easy to set up and program.

    TS1608/08/2024 04:18 PM

  • Got this water softner for our new home. Was budget friendly and works great

    Turboturtle06/25/2024 05:53 PM

  • I think it was a great decision buying the water softer. The water feels soft, I had it for two weeks and I feel my skin soft and hair shiny. I’m just loving it.

    Churru ok06/18/2024 01:01 AM

  • We bought a Water Boss and could not get it to stop leaking and returned it. Our neighbors have had a GE for several years and love it. We decided to try it and couldn't be happier! This is a very nice water softener and are very pleased with it.
