This washer seems to do a pretty good job at getting clothes clean. I fairly often wash my bed pillows 2 at a time. This machine has a balance sensor that would constantly add water while trying to do "sensing". I ended up removing the saturated pillows and had to take them to a local laundromat for washing. This is a great disappointment and inconvenience for me. Now wishing I had repaired my old washer as it had no problems with this. Was told that almost all of the new machines are very sensitive to balancing so don't think it is just GE or this model.
