So when she went shopping the salesman at the appliance dealer was really pushing GE. I don’t have a high opinion of GE appliances in general, but especially not their laundry appliances. I worked at a hospital that had a GE front loader that we used for the specialized pediatric equipment that we couldn’t send to the laundry service used by the main hospital and it had nothing but problems. Finally, the actual GE engineer employed by the hospital told us to buy something else and we got a Whirlpool. Her girlfriend looked at the LG front loaders at Lowe’s, they don’t have a handwash cycle either unless you get the pedestal with the little mini washer. That seems to be a possibility for them but I don’t know anything about the mini washers and you also can’t stack the machines if you’re using a pedestal.
