Product review (1 stars): Consummate waste of money!!!
First, these have huge capacities.  Second, the washer is horrible!  The four-inch top on the agitator falls off regularly which causes the machine to sound like a box of rocks is being shaken wildly.  Most importantly, it has ruined several expensive garments, linens and silks, that were caught underneath the agitator.  I curse this machine regularly.  Expensive piece of crap.  My research on GE machines leads to the conclusion that, regardless of the price, they're manufactured to ensure quick obsolescence.  Buyer beware.
