We bought a new washer and dryer combo after running our Whirlpool Duet for 20 years.  The new GE washer and dryer (same model number) work great.  The dryer works as advertised and the new features make it very easy to use.

We opted not to have the risers given the extra cost and you don't really need them at all.

The machine is quiet and the dryer dries your clothes to perfection.  No over done drying here.  You may have to set eco-mode to off which we do since it adds a lot of time to the overall drying time.

Service - We did have an issue with the door hinge not being aligned and even though I tried to align it, it seems to be defective.  We called GE and the support staff was simply wonderful.  Well spoken, attentive and provided us a service date immediately.  Service does count when you need it.  They picked up the phone in no time as well.
