GE #WJRE5500GWW top loading Washing Machine
Strengths: Large stainless steel wash basket.... Gentle on clothes.... Spins excess water from clothes to shorten drying time....
Weakness: This washing machine stops when the lid is lifted
The GE # WJRE5500GWW top loading washing machine has a very large stainless steel wash basket so I can wash more clothes at a time. The agitator is extremely gentle on my clothes. The spin cycle removes the excess water so the drying time is shorter than it was with my old machine. Overall, I am very satisfied with this washing machine & would definitely recommend it to my friends.
