Photos of GE Ultra Fresh Vent Washer manual
I made it to the Home Depot in Union City yesterday. I couldn't make it to the nearby Lowes - the shopping center where Lowes is located had traffic barriers up at all the entrances on Alvarado-Niles road (closest to the Lowes) and traffic to get to Dyer/Whipple for the other entrances was completely gridlocked.
But Home Depot had the model 650 on display, for about $900. It's an impressive machine. The matching gas dryer is about $1000.
I took photos of the pages in the Use and Care Manual dealing with reversing the door swing. But I don't need to upload them here because the same info is available in the PDF file from the HD web site.
AFAIK, only the two TOL models, 650 and 850, have the features I need, mainly door swing reverse. The manual indicates this is an "optional" feature, although I'm not sure if that is an extra cost feature that must be specified on purchase. Mainly there's a locking bar one must use to stabilize everything before switching the door swing. Also the 650 capacity appears to be 4.8 cu ft, while the 850 capacity is 5.0 cu ft. This may account for the two extra inches in depth of the 850 (34 inches vs 32 inches). However the matching 850 dryer is "only" 32 inches deep. Additionally only the 850 washer has the "One Step" wash and dry feature of "smaller" loads. That might be a good feature for people in a rush or who just like all the bells and whistles.

Also I see mention of Canada in the manual, but the associated Canadian GE website does not list these Ultra Fresh models. Here is the website address for Canada:

And the 800 number for GE Canada: 800-561-3344
Lastly, I saw NO "Country of origin" stickers on either washer or dryer. Perhaps they were removed for display, or were never there to begin with.
