The interior of this machine looks pretty much like the tube of my 2004 vintage GE Top loader. Same agitator, same tub.. Different cycles though. |

The control panel reads that its a Hydrowave machine. Also since when is "COLORS" a temperature. Also what strange increments in the control for the temp and I recall the switch clicks for phantom positions that aren't marked. Looking at that seam/joint in the SS tub I'm not terribly impressed there. Also many of these I see the SS is very dulled with use.
However, certainly seems to be a flexible machine and has a full-range water control dial. I question the reliability but with the crap shoot that overall recent GE laundry appliances have, it could last 2 or 10 years. Get out your dice... -Tim |

Here's a picture of the inside of the tub of my 2004 GE. (I apologize for the shmutz everywhere, it does need a good cleaning.) You'll notice how much duller it is compared to the one in the photo. |

According to my GE factory rep, the raised ridges in the tub have nothing to do with cleaning. Their purpose is to add "area" to the tub so that more fabric comes in contact during the spin to maximize liquid removal. We don't have these models yet, they're supposed to come in to our THD within weeks. Some LG TLs use the same concept with raised circular bumps instead of ridges. |

I like the hydrowave wash system ..just wished it was made again more sturdy. And thats everyones wish with other brands as well. Anyway Bud according to GE the ribes in ther baskets which is not new .. is to squeez more water out of the clothes 20 percent more at 640 rpm's. Now there 700 rpm's.
In spit of the HE type water saving spray rinse system which is a Fisher & Paykel trait. The washer could be better if more water was not restricted... and it is a 360 arc in the agitation mode. Hey it is a washer that does not lock and easy to see with a magnet. The styling is today weather you like it or not. Again the QUIT thang people want unfortunetly.

Well, I have to admit that the "Chug chug chug chug" noises of my GE kind of wore on me a bit... but I'd rather have that than "Weeeeooo Weeeeeeooo Weeeeeeooo" ... IMHO! |

NEWLY built American homes (1970 onward) generally DO NOT have room in the laundry area for storage tubs that one needs for suds return. You're lucky to get enough room for side-by-side installation. Lawrence/Maytagbear |

My Frigamore stack has a warm rinse option, but it is all for show. Only the spray rinse is warm. The deep rinse is cold. |
