In my opinion, GE used to be okay. Now (since 2016) they are only GE in name, as the Chinese company Haier bought them in 2016, including the rights to continue marketing under the GE name. I bought a GE "heavy duty" washer and dryer set in 2015 and they work great today but both have had numerous issues so I keep spare parts, which are getting harder to find, to keep them going.
