I purchased a new Hydro-Wave washer 4.1 IEC Cu.Ft. Model # GS185068G SD-F. This Model also has been discontinued. Now I know why. This washer has the short little agitator in it. It is suppose to produce wave action to clean the clothes, it does not. I watched the clothes with the lid open from beginning to end. The clothes at the top just floated in the water of this top load washer. It will only clean at best is a very small load. The service tech came out. He said that is how it is designed and is doing what it's suppose to do. This is a very poor design and G.E. knows it; since then they discontinued this model. G.E. will do nothing about it. They just keep saying that they will send a tech over. What's the point, we have been through this already. The retail dealer will not take it back either, that being A-1 Applicance Center. Lessons Learned: Don't buy G.E. products and don't buy from a small retailer like A-1. Try Lowes or Home Depot they are a lot bigger operation.
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR EVERYONE! To make a long story short do not purchase any type of G.E. Appliances. They are all JUNK. Appliances still break down shortly after being repaired. I've been ripped off enough already with G.E. Also, to think that G.E. uses the slogan "We Bring Good Things To Life" What a JOKE that turns out to be!
