When we moved in the mid 2000s we opted to by a large capacity, HE washer but kept our large capacity GE dryer. After 17 years, the Cabrio and two Maytags broke BUT our GE dryer works great. I decided I wanted to go back to a GE washer with an agitator, dial controls and water levels of Low, Medium, High, and Max. 
Memorial Day sale was unbeatable. This model can wash three times the amount of clothes in one wash than our former washers. I was able to wash a king size quilt in my new washer. It is much less noisy than the MCT Maytag . Clothes get very clean in the wash is very efficient I could not be more pleased!
