The matching washer and dryer duo resolves the continuous bending and reaching shenanigans that accompany laundry. Dr. Cathy Emergy, GE human factors manager said, “Minimizing extreme postures, such as kneeling in front of the washer drum, was a focus in the development of the integrated riser on our new GE frontload washers.” Introducing their frontload washer and dryer line, RightHeight™ has 7 inch risers built right into both appliances. These taller machines have a total raised height of 47 inches which is perfect to reduce back-bending while offering great countertop space to fold your clothing. Without having to compromise laundry, you can now give your back a break—the good kind, that is! To minimize the reaching, the clothes washer and dryer have the industry’s largest standard door opening. The larger door openings allow you to wash big, bulky comforters with absolute ease. Available in June 2013, this set retails for $1,399 with a variety of colors including, white, ruby red, or metallic carbon finishes. There are a ton of features that these EnergyStar® approved washing machines and clothes dryers have to offer you. Overnight Dry™ for example, is a washer setting for a small load of laundry that will wash and dry you clothing without being transferred so it is ready for you the next morning. Or there’s even a Steam Assist option that helps to loosen those impossible stains for cleaner clothing. Not only are your options are truly endless, but when you purchase this beautiful washer and dryer set you have also supported your local American-made products and jobs!
