Product review (1 stars): SHORT LIFE!
We purchased the washer and matching dryer from Lowes. At 14 moths the dryer timer knob seized up and had to be replaced. At 18 months the washer main bearing went out, according to the repair man because debris and oil were found in the clothes tub. The cost to repair would be more than a new one! Beware! The GE Hotpoint quality has gone through the floor. I don't advocate buying extended warranties but when the manufacturers quality is horrible the extended warranty is a good deal.
