Congrats!!
Wow, congratulations, Brian! Nice set, you will love them.
As I mentioned in many other posts, my mom had that set in Avocado. Someone mentioned the washer is a real workhorse, and it is. So is the monstrous dryer.
If I recall that dryer drm in over 7 cu ft. Competitive even today, but probably the largest residential dryer in the universe back then. i remember the dryer made the washer look small, when they were side by side, even the the washer is normal dimensions. My aunt saw my mom's new machines and commented on the "small" washer, ha.
The straight vaned agitator works well. But from having the curved vaned myself and observing both in action I can tell you the turnover is better with large loads with the curved vane. With less than max loads the straight vane does just fine
If you are going to use these as daily drivers and don't mind not keeping the washer as it came out of the factory, you could probably buy a curved vane and replace the straight vane.
General Electric's Filter-Flo's are great at de-linting your load. No lint filter is easier to clean. Usually the lint ends up balled up on the filter pan. Just grab the balls with your fingers or use a paper tower.
Someone also mentioned the sounds. Yes, I agree GE must have done sound studies. ha. Their appliance sounds are strangely rhythmic, soothing and comforting. My mom said her GE washer sounded just like her grandmothers wringer washer and brought back long lost memories.
That particular dryer, as I remember my mom's, is quite quiet. Not thumping or ultra annoying like my Speed Queen/Amana dryer.
I love the flip switches, more than the push buttons. It give you more combination/permutations of speed and temperature options.
Great machines.
ENJOY!!!!!
