GE washer and dryer question?

Question

Did anyone have bad experience with GE washer or dryer?
Which one is better Maytag or GE? I can get both in pretty much same price so I was confused.
I am buying regular capacity (3.5 cu ft for washer and 7.0 for dryer) top load washer.

Answer 1

No matter what brand you ask about, you will always find people who've had a bad experience.

I've done a lot of research when shopping for appliances. I've come to the conclusion that they are all pretty much the same (and even made in the same factory). Thus, the top of the line GE will be comparable with the top of the line Maytag, etc.

My advice, don't drive yourself crazy doing pointless research. All you really need to decide is what price range you want to be in, then get whatever happens to be on sale at Sears. Done.

Answer 2

You can always find someone who's had a bad experience with a brand. But GE and Maytag are both very good brands. You can go on websites to find reviews of each one, but again, you're back to my first statement about nitpickers. I could not make a decision on brand alone, but would need to decide between features and price. I've owned both brands, no complaints about either one.

My most recent choice was Maytag, for what that's worth.

Answer 3

Maytag has had some negative reviews of late.
GE is OK but I had one only 4 yrs old that developed a hole in the tub. Obviously a mfg defect cause my mother had one 15+ years w/o a problem. What pissed me off is that GE would do nothing about it.

Actually Whirlpool has been rated pretty high lately - not so in the past.

I would do Whirlpool or GE.

Answer 4

Well my last washing machine was a GE and I loved it, and never had any problems with it. I think both are good brands though.
