I wonder if the designers at GE understand that the reason someone buys a small stackable washer/dryer is that they intend to install it in their living space, not in a basement. While agitating, the washer sounds like a Skrillex set next to an airport tarmac. 

I really hope it's broken, and not just the noisiest washer/dryer I've ever heard, because it's apparently the only model that fits in my apartment.
