Well, what chet and I can tell you is that both GE and Whirlpool agitation actually sounded similar due to the double knock during agitation, and their dual action agitators also look similar. GE's sounded like gears were being tortured to death, whereas Whirlpool sounded smoother in comparison. Plus, I do believe Whirlpool cleaned better being the KING of laundry. GE's tub shook violently which made the agitation sound worse and the machine twist and shift. GE had no right to do that. I remember when I first got mine, I thought it was a Whirlpool due to the sound of the agitation when it was in fact, a GE model T.
