I am very pleased with my new washer. I have been using it since May. I have had great success with GE products over the years and knew I wanted their brand.  The basket is so much bigger than my last washer that I have had to adjust what I consider a full load.  Even though the basked is bigger, I (as a short person) have no problem reaching around the entire area.  I am even checking out some of the other load types.  I would purchase this product again.
