My last washer was a Maytag. It served me well for 10 years and still had plenty of life left but the matching dryer died a thousand deaths.  My son had recently bought a GE washer and dryer set and they really liked theirs. So I gave my washer away and bought a new set. Only have had it for a month but so far I love it. Why do my clothes smell cleaner? Crazy but true. My whites look whiter too. It makes a chore into a pleasure.
