They progressed until 1994 and then they went cheap like everyone else. |

It literally is the worst stupid piece of crap I have ever seen. That shook violently to where the cabinet twisted and shifted during agitation. I blame Jack Welch! |

GE had some interesting innovations in their appliances in the 50’s and 60’s, but it seems they began to loose their way once the late 60’s and 70’s came around. One of the biggest mistakes GE made was not offering gas appliances from the getgo, they touted ‘Live Better Electrically’ but there wasn’t any mention on operating costs etc.
I think Whirlpool/Kenmore were far more innovative than GE in the 50’s and 60’s. Whirlpool seemed to offer what people wanted (mainly because of Sears) along with changing their designs for reliability and efficiency etc. |
