I stand corrected.....didn't realize they used the Profile name on these...
I would go for this one, only because of the extra options and the SpotScrubber feature....and the true filterflo..... but other than that, their both the same machine.... worst case, I would find the control panel you want and just swap it out....I have done this many times... | ||

That's a nice set! Would someone clarify which models and production dates for GE washers and dryers are good to have? With Whirlpool and Speed Queen, can you change out control boards easily, even if they look different? Thanks! | ||

Yes that's what I like about the profiles, true filter flo, spotscrubber, the modern push buttons an of course the profile name itself.

All GE filter flow washers
Had trouble with the lower transmission oil seal, they also had trouble with the top seal with water going into the transmission oil coming out on the clothing. No years were exempt from this problem from 61 through 95.
We used to buy GE rebuilt transmissions by the dozen and every single year was affected with problems. | ||

Not in my opinion!
Functionally the "rim flo" wasn't the best idea. Sure it saved the consumer from the tedious task of removing/replacing that annoying lint filter on the agitator and touching that disgusting ball of lint with their hands to dispose of it after the cycle. BUT... at the same time it also completely negated the spray rinse during the spin! 100% of that water hit the "rim flo filter", then went directly to the outer tub and down the drain, not a single drop made it to the clothes.
For a short time I had a mid 90's Amana badged (Speed Queen) with that same "rim flo" type set up. While it didn't have any recirculating water to filter, the fill water entered the tub through that "rim flo" set up, causing the water to "shower" down into the tub, all around the tub. That was nice / neat to see. However during the spray rinse it was exactly the same, all the water went directly to the outer tub and down the drain. What a waist of water.

It's amazing the ones in the first photo still have white knobs, most turned yellow. I saw a bisque model washer with that tilted panel and it looked pretty nice in that color actually. It wasn't a Profile though. | ||

Hey Doug, Do you happen to know the model number of that 94 unit you posted 16 photos of? | ||
