Good machine
I have the base GE model which is very similar (if not identical) to the Hotpoint models. I also have the plastic tub. The GE's have a little more color and also a "Regular" setting on each cycle where as the Hotpoint only has "Light and Heavy".
I absolutely LOVE my washer. These machines use a 360 degree arc compared to the WP which i think is still around 210 degrees? You get more of a side to side agitation with less traditional turn over compared to shorter arc systems. The garments really move though and it cleans very well. It's a lot of fun to watch. From what I've been told these machines are very reliable. It's belt driven with no transmission so not much to go wrong with it. I wanted the Hotpoint models honestly, something about them drew me in. LOL. But the GE was on sale for cheaper so I bought that instead. The Speed Queen's are excellent machines and about as old school as you can get. However they aren't cheap. I would have bought one but I just purchased a condo and needed to buy all new furniture so my budget for W/D was limited. The GE and HP are a good value though. | ||

I agree with Joeypete, I have owned GE GTWN2800 since 7-2012 and it is great. Mine has the stainless steel 3.9 cu in. tub. I have never had a problem with it. The cleaning is always great and so is the price compared to the Speed Queen. Now I can't speak for projected longevity, but so far so good. I have left several more detailed posts about this washer which you can read if you do a search. I can honestly say I have been 100% satisfied with this washer and I would buy another without question

Electrolux Now that Electrolux owns GE, has anyone heard about the future of GE? I just got a new GE oven and I hope I can get parts in the future. I love GE ovens and pretty much like most of their other appliances. Generally well built and relatively trouble free. | ||

Imperial70: Thank you very much for the offer. I don't plan on getting a new washer anytime soon though. I'm actually very happy with the GE machine.
Pumice: The GE has a 360 degree arc, meaning it goes full circle every time it moves. The design of the washer and this long arc does not produce the same "turnover" you get in shorter arc machines. It more moves the clothes side to side, but they get cleaned very well. Same movement through the water, it's just more horizontal than vertical. The vertical turn over is slower because of this, but like I said, it cleans very well and is more gentle on clothes. I don't' believe a WP agitator will fit on this machine, but I can't be certain. I replaced my dual action one with the older "FlexCare" agitator, it's a single piece and does not have the cork screw on it. I have videos on my YouTube channel if you want to see. I'll post the link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO joeypete's LINK | ||
