Our previous washer/dryer set was a GE king size top load, it has lasted 17 years. We were going with reviews and didn't choose a GE set at first when we bought new again. Big Mistake.... We sent the other set back and chose a GE front load set.. Best decision ever, this set is so easy to use and you can modify some of the wash cycles so it fits your needs.. Thank GE for making a superior product..
