We purchased the Kenmore Elite HE 4 washer and dryer 11 years ago, no problems. Although it is branded by Sears, it is built by Whirlpool.
GE, LG, Whirlpool, are some of the major manufacturers who own other names and rebrand (rename) the appliance for a specific store, market or country. Do a little research before buying, because you may end up with another GE product.
