The GE GTW491BMRDG top‑load washer is designed for busy households that want powerful cleaning performance, generous capacity, and simple, reliable controls in a compact footprint. With an impressive Canadian‑rated 4.9 cu. ft. IEC capacity, this washer easily handles everything from everyday outfits to king‑size bedding, helping you tackle more laundry in fewer loads. Its approximately 27‑inch class width makes it a smart fit for most laundry spaces while still offering the room you need for bulky items, sports gear, and family‑sized wash days. At the heart of the GE GTW491BMRDG is a robust Dual Action agitator wash system that delivers a deep, thorough clean by actively circulating and turning over fabrics, yet remains gentle enough for delicates when paired with the appropriate cycle. One of the standout features is the dedicated SaniFresh sanitize cycle, which uses elevated water temperatures and an extended wash and rinse sequence to help kill bacteria and flush away contaminants, making it ideal for towels, bedding, and heavily soiled items that demand a more hygienic clean than many standard washers can provide. Another premium highlight is the Cold Plus option, engineered to boost cleaning performance in cold water so you can protect colours, reduce energy use, and still get the fresh, bright results you expect; this specialized cold‑water technology sets it apart from many basic top‑load models that simply lower the temperature without optimizing the wash action. Inside, a durable stainless steel drum resists rust, chipping, and peeling, helping the washer maintain its smooth surface over years of use while being gentle on fabrics to reduce snags and wear. The stylish glass lid and rear‑mounted control panel with intuitive knobs and buttons make it easy to see your load and select from 13 versatile wash cycles, including Heavy Duty, Speed Wash, Towels & Sheets, Bulky Items, and more, so you can match each load to the right combination of time, temperature, and agitation. With six wash/rinse temperature settings, an Extra Rinse option, and clear LED cycle status indicators, the GE GTW491BMRDG offers a thoughtful blend of capacity, convenience, and advanced cleaning features that elevate it above many conventional top‑load washers in its class.

 Tide Cold Certified Cold Plus™ cycle – delivers better cleaning performance in cold water when used with Tide, helping save energy while protecting fabrics.
 SaniFresh™ sanitizing cycle – uses elevated water temperatures, longer wash time, pump purge and extended rinse to help kill bacteria and remove contaminants from laundry.

 4.9 cu. ft. IEC extra‑large capacity – handles family‑size loads, from bulky bedding to sports gear, reducing the number of loads you need to run.
 Dual Action agitator wash system – two‑piece agitator improves circulation and turnover of clothes for a deep, even clean while remaining gentle on fabrics.
 Deep Fill option – lets you add extra water with one touch (about 3 gallons) or press and hold to fill up to a full tub for heavily soiled or bulky loads.
 13 specialized wash cycles – includes Normal, Heavy Duty, Whites, Casuals, Delicates, Jeans, Towels & Sheets, Bulky Items, Dark Colours, Active Wear, Speed Wash, Drain & Spin and SaniFresh to match different fabric types and soil levels.
 Cold Plus wash setting – enhances cleaning performance in cold water cycles, helping maintain fabric colours and reduce energy use.
 Extra Rinse option – adds an additional rinse to help remove detergent residue, ideal for sensitive skin or heavily soiled loads.
 Stainless steel wash basket – durable, rust‑resistant drum with a smooth, snag‑free surface that helps protect delicate garments and keeps the interior looking new.
 800 RPM spin speed – extracts more water at the end of the cycle to reduce drying time and energy consumption in the dryer.
 6 wash/rinse temperature settings – lets you choose the right water temperature for different fabrics and stain types.
 Automatic bleach and fabric softener dispensers – release additives at the optimal time in the cycle so you don’t have to pause the washer mid‑wash.
 Glass lid with viewing window – allows you to monitor the wash process without opening the lid and interrupting the cycle.
 Rear‑mounted mechanical controls – 5 knobs plus buttons provide straightforward, reliable operation and keep settings away from splashes.
 LED cycle status indicators – show where the load is in the wash cycle at a glance, so you know when laundry will be ready.
 Top‑load design – makes it easy to add forgotten items at the start of the cycle and is convenient for users who prefer loading from above.
 Bulky and bedding care – dedicated Bulky Items and Towels & Sheets cycles are tuned for large, absorbent items to improve cleaning and rinsing.
 Quick clean Speed Wash cycle – refreshes lightly soiled garments in less time, ideal for small or urgent loads.
 Active Wear cycle – designed for performance fabrics and athletic clothing that need thorough cleaning while protecting stretch and shape.
 Dark Colours cycle – helps reduce fading and preserve the look of dark garments by optimizing agitation and temperature.
 Delicates cycle – uses gentler agitation and spin to care for delicate fabrics and lightly soiled items.
 Drain & Spin cycle – quickly removes excess water from hand‑washed items or adds an extra spin without running a full wash.
 Compact 27" class width – fits most standard laundry spaces while still offering a large 4.9 cu. ft. capacity.
 Diamond Grey finish – modern, neutral colour that coordinates easily with other appliances and resists the appearance of everyday smudges.
 Non‑stackable, freestanding installation – simple to place in most laundry rooms or basements without additional kits.
 1‑year parts and labour warranty – provides manufacturer coverage for repair or replacement due to defects in materials or workmanship.
