I love my New washer which replace the current one which I've only had for 2 years..and the motor went bad?? The GE washer is quite and the Capacity is light years ahead  everybody . I love the difference levels  of washes  it  and options it provides for you. The  Best Choice I made and trust me I researched everyone.  So from me to you there is only one choice...GE.. dropping the MIC..
