After my workhorse 27 yr old Heavy Duty Kenmore washer finally bit the dust after getting off balance, my gut feeling after reading hundreds of reviews, was to get the GE washer model that was not He, no electronics, had an agitator and ability to control water level. (# GTW465ASNWW). When I went to purchase it, Best Buy was having a $205 off sale on this model that put it cheaper than the one I was going to buy, so I thought, why not? It is a beautiful washer. I love the gray color, the window in the top is fun to monitor what is going on and the modern look to it. The electronics if you are into that sort of thing show how much time is left in the cycle and where it is in the cycle lights up as it goes along. That part is kind of fun to use. Very easy to understand. For those who aren't thrilled with a lid lock, it has a pause button and the lid will unlock so you can add something and then you can unpause and it locks and resumes. My disappointment is with the water level. Even with the deep fill option there is not enough water added to wash out all soap (I use He Tide pods so I am not putting in too much). I would prefer a water level above the amount of clothes being washed. The picture attached is a load with additional deep fill just for reference. There is 12" from the water to the top of the basket. You put your clothes in, select the type of laundry ( normal, sheets/towels, casuals, delicate, jeans etc) and then the washer releases the soap pod and spins it to "sense" it. That's how it determines how much water to add but so far the most I've seen in this very deep basket (I have to stand on my tip toes to reach the bottom) is about 6-8" of water. On the normal clothes cycle and later the sheets/towels cycle some pieces were still barely above the water when it started. Also the 800rpm spin (no ability to adjust this except to select no spin) is a bit over the top, you'd swear it's going to take off. I am not sure how this will affect wear and tear on the clothes over the long run. It just seems a bit aggressive. Seeing white laundry soap lines on some of my dark clothes was disappointing. The aggitator is better than not having one but it really just swishes clothes back and forth. My Kenmore had a triple action that went up and down and sideways and it aggitated the clothes. I watched and the clothes eventualy make it down and around so it must cycle them somehow. I'm not loving my choice of this machine and thinking twice about the other one, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I'll keep tweaking and hopefully I can get my laundry to look and smell clean. I was hoping to be wowed but not so far. Not loving it but not hating it either. On another note, when Best Buy says it will install it, be sure to ask what that entails. We didn't have the drain they were used to, so they just delivered it and said we had to hire a plumber to complete it.

This washer is brilliant. It's quiet, vs our previous Whirlpool which sounded like a truck. This GE has wonderful digital control panel that lights up, easy to work. Clothes are clean; the center post agitator makes common sense and works great. This is a 5 star wonderful product. I'd recommend to our adult kids and to any family who's looking for top machine!
