Went to a friend's house today for a cookout and of course, had to snap a few pics of his new GE FL washer.
He absolutely loves it! Tub Light too | ||

 I checked out the manual for GE's "RightHeight" line, and it says the Max rinse setting provides 3 rinses. Doesn't specify what Extra or Normal provide.

I was looking at these at Home Depot and they are on sale for less than $800 a piece. I love the size of the wash drum and the dryer drum is a nice 8.3 cu ft...plenty of room in each machine. They also look and feel well made too. I have noticed that the Chinese sourced Little Swan front loaders for GE are close to gone in the stores now. I do love the height of the washer and the dryer that I saw today. I am tempted to cut my SQ loose from the pack and get something a bit more in capacity, and more effiecent water wise.

2nd rinse = two rinses? | ||

My LGs rinse three times on all but two pre set programs. If I want,I can have an extra rinse but,three do the trick. In fact,my second rinses are crystal clear. Extremely quiet,still operation and HUGE capacities. On both 4.0 and the 5.1 capacity models, I was able to readjust the pressure valve increasing the water levels up to the door handle base. That increases the tub turbulence and makes a more dramatic wash cycle to enjoy watching. Rarely ever do I have any issues. After all the rebuilding of two out of three sets, I have really grown even fonder of these great toys in my "sandbox". Their priceing has gone down considerably since 2000 along with noticeable improvements in all LG appliances. You can now get their new WaveForce top loaders without a backsplash for just under $600 or a 4.0 cu ft front loading Tromm for under $700. Those were prices from Home Depot. Sears has a Frigemore set,similar to the Affinities for around $999. Not the best choice but great price for a matced,Deluxe set. Their capacity is the same as SQs. But a lot less expensive. The lack of a button trap also keeps me far away from ANY Electrolux made laundry product.

GE
Even so, the options on this machine are impressive compared to my Affinity FL, which does not offer half of what the GE does and for the same price. I'd be tempted to go with one of these if I were in the market for a new machine, which, considering the amount of laundry I do in a week, won't be for a long time.

GE vs Affinity
I see the dryer next to the GE is an older style Affinity, so I assume the washer that was replaced was the matching one to it. Personally, I would most likely have just replaced the broken door latch if that's all that was wrong with the old machine, but to each his own. It's always nice to have something shiny and new!
It appears as if GE is finally starting to sort their mess out with poor quality, poorly performing machines made in Who-Knows-Where. As I said, this new line offers twice as many options as the Affinity for about the same price, plus it has the built-in riser (not to mention an ACCESSIBLE FILTER SCREEN!) and it's at least assembled here in this country, not in Mexico or some other place. | ||

Love The Recirculation On My AEG/OKO Lavamat
But not thrilled that whatever is in the final rinse will sit in that pump and become part of the next wash.
Using separate "Rinse/Starch" cycle is not on as that cycle does not activate the recirculation system. Each new cycle does begin with activating the pump to drain any water from previous loads, but one does wonder. For this reason among many only use European detergents such as Persil, Super Croix and Ariel in the AEG. Want really clear rinses to prevent gunk from forming and being deposited on subsequent loads. | ||

Alex: Thanks for confirming that the GE has recirculation!
Malcolm: That would really be a water-efficient washer, especially if it defaults to one rinse. I thought mickeyd said his new LG defaulted to a single rinse, but coupled with some sort of spray...maybe he can elaborate on that. He might have mentioned it in the video he made. I'll have to take another look at it. As you can imagine, I want to get a GE set SO BADLY now. Due to a cupboard above my laundry pair, I can't use a full-size pedestal, but the RightHeight pair would work perfectly...and raise the tub opening to a more comfortable level. I'm very happy with the GE dishwasher, and am beginning to think GE may be my new brand. Looks like they have good ranges and refrigerators, as well. Maybe my sister can make her Whirlpool set limp along a little longer, and I'll pick up the GE RightHeight pair for myself, LOL. This post was last edited 07/07/2014 at 11:54 | ||

We have had ours since January and love the washer and dryer. We had the Square door Frigemore that was great but this GE is great. Washers well and rinses so good.

I must admit I love the look of these washers myself, especially in the Grey Color. Why didn't you r friend buy the 'right height" model? Mike | ||

They are very nice looking. My mom just bought the right height set. She loves them so far. Only had them a few weeks. She did not want a stacked pair because my two sisters have their Duet stacked and she has a hard time seeing the dryer controls. My wife did not want our Duets stacked for the same reason, but is sorry we did not get the risers for ours, but is wondering if they would vibrate more in we had them. Our FL house is on a concrete slab but on the extra high spin the Duet tends to vibrate a lot.
