I bought a new washer and dryer Jan. 2, 2010. Both my washer and dryer broke Jan. 1, 2010. Same time, go figure. I don't over think appliances. They are all more energy efficient then any old one and any new one is better then any broken one. I liked the look of the GE Profile, big stainless tub in washer and dryer, simple electronic controls, and 1/2 the price of the front loaders. They match, they wash clothes. That's all I need. I was washing clothes Jan. 3, 2010.
