What he says, but we have had the GE version for at least 5 years with no problems. We do leave the door open after a load as it can smell pretty bad after a few days of being closed up. My wife says it is much gentler on clothes than our previous top loader and I can vouch for the fact I no longer lose buttons off my shirts. We think it cleans better as well.
