Thus is my fifth GE washing machine.  I have liked them each,  good job for many years.  I don't want a lot of frills, just a hardworking agitator and the ability to fill up the tub with the water temperature of my choice. That's what I've always enjoyed about my GE washer and it's what I got again. I read the one-star rating that sounded like they were written by folks who had expectations I don't have. I just want a washer that does the job, on jeans and sheets and the throw I used all winter and bath towels and dish towels. I want to toss then in with some Tide or Gain or Persil, and in less than an hour, they are spun out, clean, and ready for the dryer.  If that's what you want, this is a great choice.
