Our last washer was a front load washer and we struggled with mold issues.  We were going to switch back to top load but we saw that GE has an answer for this problem.  We are going to give it a chance and only time will tell.

The features for the washer are great and are very flexible.  I will say that the washer is Kinda loud.  They claim that it is quiet but it is not.  To be fair, the biggest issue is when the tub is filling with water.  That is loud.  When no water is entering the tub it's not too bad.  There is a whiny sound when the machine is running that is more irritating than it is loud.

Overall, I think this washer will be excellent but I will have to wait until I've had it for a while to see how it has addressed the mold issue.
