G.E. Unitized Washer/Dryer Combo

Back in September, I wrote about my Kenmore Washer/Dryer Laundry Center.  Can you believe it…………..After many hours of research, and approximately 5-6 months without washing my clothes at home, I decided to purchase a General Electric Unitized Laundry Center. 

It actually has a bigger washing tub than my other unit (we paid an extra $100 for this feature) and I can wash both the top sheet, fitted sheet, and pillow cases in one load.  We like using the plush sheets which are more bulky than regular sheets so I could not wash them all at the same time in my old washer.  I love having the bigger washing tub!  Did I say how much I love having a bigger washing tub?  One thing I don’t like is the fact that if you lift the lid while it is washing, it stops agitating.  I can lift it approximately 3/4” and use a flashlight to look inside to make sure the load of clothes I place in the washer are not too large to get washed thoroughly.  Once I get used to the size of loads I can put in the washer, I’m sure this won’t be a problem.

As for the control panel on the machine, it is harder to read without my reading glasses and parts of it are confusing.  I much more prefer the one on my old Kenmore.  The Kenmore had better options for dryer heating control and options to have a dryer buzzer.  This machine does not have a buzzer feature letting you know when my clothes are done drying.  Who makes a machine without this feature……??  I have to really pay attention and listen to when the dryer stops so my clothes do not wrinkle before I get to them.

The dryer barrel looks like it might be a bit bigger than my old machine but not enough to really notice.

All-in-all, I think once I get used to this new machine and adjust to its options, it will be one I can surely live with.  After being so long without one and having to go to a Laundromat, this one is perfect, just perfect.  I’m hoping it will last 20+ years like my old Kenmore, and I will be one happy camper.
