We have a GE hotpoint dryer that works great so we bought a ge hotpoint washer when our old machine broke.  I’m not sure why the company changed washers so radically but I wish they had stuck to the old design!
This washer sounds like a dying animal when it’s washing. It becomes unbalanced very frequently no matter how much care I take to distribute the clothes evenly. It spins for such a long time that for the first week I thought it had to be broken! My friend bought the same brand and told me that it was normal for this  machine to spin sometimes 30 or 40 minutes!!  
How this is saving energy is beyond me. 
My clothes do come out clean but I’d be happy if I had my old washer back!
Super disappointed.
