I've been using my washer and dryer for about six months and couldn't be happier with them. Whatever changes were made in the newer models, the results are great. Our clothes come out looking better than they did using our older machine.
I bought this when my old dryer died a slow death. Since it was also a GE I was not surprized that this was a good choice. It is not the top of the line but has all the features I wever used on the old one which was.
This dryer seems to do the job very well but got one less star because it arrived with the door sticking out at the bottom edge 9opposite the hinged0 and the handle not flush with the door. Quality control?
This seems to be a good dryer for the price. (I've only been using it for a couple of days.) I bought it because GE is the only manufacturer who offers the option of a vent out the side of the unit. I have used a GE washer for the past several years and it is performing well. I can trust the GE label. I admit that I purchase mainly by price and, in this case, by the necessity of a side vent. I am happy enough with the purchase.
