I wonder how much water it uses and is it able to adequately rinse the clothing. |

Almost all the orignal Automatic Washers produced in this country had ATC in the 1950s. GEs first automatics even limited the hot wash water temperature to 130F.
Providing the same temperature at all times guarantees excellent and consistent performance, it is not being done just for energy conservation. |

The philosophy behind ATC was, originally, to ensure that cold and warm water temps were kept high enough. The practice soured for me once it was used to dumb-down hot and warm water temps. It galls me when a washer that limits the water temp to 105-110 degrees even has a setting called "HOT". Any water not warm enough to kill even baker's yeast has no business being called hot. Tell it like it is: Temp controls on such machines should read WARM, COOL, and COLD.
This is why I think it's imperative for a front-loader to have an internal water heater. The GE pictured above has one. Good choice, Charles! You will be amazed at the stain-removing power of the Sanitize cycle, which basically provides a profile wash (water gradually heated to over 150 degrees).

I was wondering about the temperature of "Extra Hot"---thanks for the info. Can you use that setting on cycles like Whites and Normal? That would make the temp controls very flexible. Sounds like you have a great washer for the price.
I've been pretty loyal to Frigidaire the past 20 years, mainly due to suffering through a severe case of Frigidaire envy while growing up in an all-Kenmore household during the 1960s-1970s. I'm very happy with my new GE dishwasher, and it seems the brand is making a concerted effort to improve their products. GE may become my new brand! |

Looks to be a very nice washer. Best of luck with it. The big door is wonderful, if you have bulky king size bedding. alr |

Nice front loader, you say it rinses good, does it have a warm water rinse option by any chance? |

Where is it made ?, a lot of GEs FL washers are made in China by LittleSwann, and even a lot of Samsung's washers are now coming from China. If you take the top off and do a little reading of the labels on the parts you may be able to tell.
And it may even be assembled in the US with a lot of LG parts, check it out and let us know, Thanks John. |
