The GE Frontload Washer

A washing machine with an agitator can last a long time if it is a good one. Washing machines are not made as good as they use to be made. The knobs are plastic and can wear out so quickly. You can not put as many clothes in a washing machine as you wish without clothes wrapping around the agitator.  When the timer wears out, the timer will not click and go to the next step. Your machine will not drain or spin. You will have to pay someone to fix the washing machine and replace the parts. It might cost you a lot of money. So you might as well buy a whole new washing machine.

My washing machine was a Whirlpool with an agitator. It lasted me up to seven years. But my next new washing machine is a heavy duty GE frontload washer.



Washer Features

GE is a great brand name that has been around for years. I trust GE. The cycle knob is very light weight and it lights up when you turn on the machine. You will see your wash cycles. The wash cycles are for specific types of wash loads. You have whites, colors/normal, stain wash, easy care, active wear, delicates, handwash, speed wash, drain and spin, and rinse and spin.

On the washer, there is a soil level which increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil. You can choose between extra light, light, normal or heavy soil.

The 3rd feature the washer has is spin speed. The machine has a high speed, medium speed, low speed, and no spin. Higher spin speeds remove more water from clothes and will help reduce dry time.
