Whirlpool-made GE SpaceMaker in good shape. These aren't equipped with Dual-Action agitators; a dark gray lint-filter Surgilator is all I see in "GEPool" machines...much more fun.

Did anybody read about the seller's mis-givings about having FedEx coming to pick up and ship the washer? First off, he/she shouldn't be concerned about the "feasability" of having it shipped by a company like FedEx or that it would be damaged being in a box, that's what insurance is for, it wouldn't be his responsility. He doesn't think that a company such as FedEx or other shippers would know how to pack a major appliance? And how does he think it got shipped to where he bought it originally? It was shipped in a BOX!

Wow, I can't believe GE went to the "enemy" to have a washer made for them. Going to Hitachi to make a portable like Westytoploader's is one thing, but going to WHIRLPOOL?!

GE seems to know that the "enemy" makes a reliable toploader.
I still like GE cooking products though,...but as far as laundry goes,WP makes the best toploader in the country IMHO.

Agiflow - I agree 100% WP does make the better TL and GE is better for cooking. When I recommend people to buy appliances I tell them the same thing.

Not sure about the new ones,but some of GE's ranges were Tappans......

The venerable PLASTIC GE, IMHO the worst toploader design EVER...even worse than WCI Frigidaire. Why?

1. The plastic tub shakes back & forth violently during agitation, thanks to the "too weak to survive" tub brake. And if the tub brake fails during a large load wash, then YAY, clean floors!

2. There is NO consistent turnover whatsoever. The poor excuse of a Dual-Action agitator doesn't help. Not to mention BORING...

3. Filling it too high or spin-draining it will result in a flood...and clean floors!

4. They are annoyingly noisy, and 1 sock on the side of the tub will throw it off-balance during spin.

Why didn't they resort to the "concentric agi-tub" instead??? It's obvious that this design was drawn up in less than a day. I see more of these out in appliance store junk piles than any other machine...

You are right goatfarmer,....Tappan i believe made their gas ranges in the late 80's before Tappan was eaten up by WCI.I know WCI continued to produce GE gas ranges up until about 89-90
GE has been making their own line of gas ranges for the last 14-15 yrs.
