Product review (5 stars): Buy American
We bought a Samsung front loader less than 4 years ago, the pump went out and it was going to run over $300 to repair with a 2week wait for parts. We tossed it, it was not a great washer and it always smelled. We than purchased a LG top loader thinking we could go back to washer that does the job. What a mistake ! This washer had a19minute wash cycle which only aggitated for 4.5 minutes, the rest of the time the tub just turned slowly. The rinse was worse, after it spins the wash water out it just sprays water on the clothes plastered to the drum. We returned it and got this GE. This is a great machine with enough water to get your clothes wet,which the last one didn't. The GE is a bit noisy, it's worth it to have clean clothes with the shortest total wash time of any other washer. Buy this washer and you won't be disappointed.
