Product review (1 stars): But what's worse is that in March 2014 (not quite 2 years ...
This washing machine is a piece of junk!  I bought it new in June 2012 (2-1/2 years ago) for $499 plus sales tax = $528.94.  As others have said, this machine makes lots of noise.  But what's worse is that in March 2014 (not quite 2 years old) I had to spend $371 to have the central axle assembly replaced because it was worn out.  The machine was really shaking and making a lot more noise.  Then yesterday (Jan 30, 2015) I had to spend another $219 to replace the dampers for the tub, which was shaking itself to death and creating a lot more noise.  So overall, I have spent $590 in repairs for a $500 machine in 2-1/2 years.  Don't buy one of these, seriously, you'll regret it.  I thought GE built quality products, but certainly not in this case.
