I too have said that for those of you that want to see lots of water and even hot water that the 90s through some of these last 2000s machines are going to be the ones we will want in the near future. These are very good performers and the price fair given their location. For long term heavy use they are not nearly as durable as a WP built DD washer or even the last of the MT DC machines. We see GEs like these every week that have main bearing- main seal or transmission problems and these are not cheap or easy problems to fix. They are fixable however if you are determined and a pretty good mechanic, but doing this job is about like putting main bearings and seals in a typical plastic outer tubed FL washer.
