foto-pete's Full Review: General Electric WPGT9360EPL Top Load Washer
When Consumer Reports said this washer was hard on clothes, I thought, well how hard on clothes can it be? It's new agitator looked great and it seemed to sip water. I could not wait to see this washer in action as I am somewhat of a high tech junkie. The first thing that I observed was that it is easily overloaded. The second thing I noticed is that the clothes kind of just move a little in 1 big ball.
These washers came with our new house, and we were used to Kenmore HE3's, which really had worked great, so we were open to "new technology". My wife purchased some new hand towels for our guest bathroom with little tassels on them (probably 10 tassels on the towel). One wash in this washer and it had pulled ALL the tassels off. Clothes came out of the washer snagged.
I was first suspicious when I put a laundry basket on top of the washer (and dryer), because the top of the machines are sloped, the baskets fall onto the ground.
The washer will communicate with the dryer via a RS232 cable. But when you go to turn on the dryer, and set the temp or cycle, then the washer wants to send the information and you have to wait (like you are waiting for a computer to boot up) before you can use the dryer.
Maybe it is just a matter of only washing a few items in this washer - but we took a big loss and sold it off. We decided to go with the new LG front loader.
Avoid this poorly engineered product. Your clothes won't come clean, but they will be destroyed.
