DH and I rarely get dirty so any washer does a good job cleaning for us. I wanted a quiet washer with no lid lock. DH had to disconnect the electrical lid lock as they all come with that now. I also wanted hand wash cycle because it washes fabric and quilts perfectly. No strings on the fabric at all. I got a GE High Profile top loader. The features change so fast on washers having one you had before is almost impossible. I always buy the the model right under the highest price one of the same brand. I got that tip from an appliance dealer and always buy appliances on sale with free delivery and carry off of old one. Even if you have to pay a little extra for carry off, it's still a bargain not to have to do it, if you know where to take it.
