Good reviews! If you go onto the Home Depot website the GE 4250 & 4450 have great reviews from people who have purchased them! | ||

Beware of whatever model has the dreaded rinse and soak, my aunt reports it only agitates about 25 seconds for the rinse and then just rests until drain and spin. She dislikes the GE and complains that her towels are rough. A basement flood killed her norgetag. alr | ||

RELIABILITY AND GE LAUNDRY I am not sure that reliability and GE laundry should be used in the same sentence. But actually the short run reliability of some GE laundry products has been very good in the last ten years. But the fact remains that GE has not made any really well built ruggered laundry appliances in about 15 years now. All of thier laundry appliances are difficult and very expensive to perform major repairs on and as a result we throw lots of them away before they even reach 6 years of age. They are built to perform fairly well but not to ever do a major repair on, How many GE Laundromats do you see lately?. | ||

I've always had good experience with GE appliances. There's a GE wizard washer in our family that has never caused any trouble since it was bought brand new in the early 2000's. The dryer it's paired with is much older than that and again, no issues. | ||

Inherited GE TL
When I bought my house, the TL came with it and looks like it saw a lot of use. So far so good after four years. "Regular/Cotton" cycle is hit-or-miss, sometimes it will completely shut off during the cycle. I've switched to "Easy Care" and no problems. I just leave it set there and push the "start" button and that's it. I have noticed if I set the water level for "super" it does fill up completely, and also does a spray rinse after pumping out the tub before it goes into a fast spin.
Replaced the crappy BOL Roper Estate dryer after about a year. Took an eternity just to dry sheets or other linens. New GE electric model does a great and fast job. I set a kitchen timer for about 20 min. and pull out tees and basketball shorts to hang on a rack. They dry wrinkle-free. | ||

GE
Went from one of the best, to one of the worst in the mid 90s. They have improved somewhat in the last 7 year, but I still take Whirlpool and Speed Queen any day over disposable GEs. Their stack units are absolutely horrific from the stuff I am hearing, and if you are a service guy taking calls for those, I do not blame you for having those views.

I would never, ever would buy any washer and dryer from Lowe's, Home Depot, or Sears, and any big-box appliance store! The only good washer and dryer you can buy today would be Speed Queen! Speed Queen washers and dryers are built just as good as the old Maytags, and they work just as well as a vintage Maytag. If everyone decided to Buy Speed Queen as their next washer and dryer, all the other manufacturers would have to switch back to the old school design, to complete with Speed Queen, and a lot of people are beginning to learn about Speed Queen washers and dryer, and how they offer old school top load washers.

Anyone Ever
Consider a Roper? They are so easy to work on. When they break down, you open the back door and through it out and go get another one.
LOL, Quote from an old friend of mine who retired as a 37 Year Maytag Dealer. In my family alone, in the last 3 months, Three speed queen sets were purchased. The word is spreading quickly. Was thinking one should open a dealership. | ||

i totaly agree with what maytag85 is saying
i know speed queen started to sell again in canada and if like stated in the last post speed queen sell more than other brands like whirlpool ge or maytag these companys will have to compete to sell there brand and the only way to do this would be to bring back this line of washer dryer set as well as the classic ge filter flo washer credit to some of the members pic i am using as exemple
