Background and Identification

General Electric, more commonly known as the abbreviation GE, is an American company founded in 1892. Originally a merger between two electric companies it has since grown to become one of the largest companies in the world, with products ranging from aviation and energy to healthcare and home appliances. GE's success, in many ways, can be attributed to its pursuit of innovation as well as their continued development of cutting-edge technologies.

In 1939, GE introduced the first top-loading washing machine with an agitator, which revolutionized the way people did laundry. GE has continued to innovate and introduce new features such as automatic water level controls, variable speed motors, and smart controls. In 1995, GE introduced the first front-loading washing machine in the United States, which was more energy-efficient while using less water than top-loading machines.

GE also developed a range of smart washing machines that can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app. These machines offer features such as automatic detergent dispensing and the ability to download new wash cycles.

In recent years, GE has shifted its focus away from home appliances and sold its appliance division to Haier in 2016. However, the company's legacy in the washing machine industry and its innovative contributions continue to have a significant impact on the way people do laundry today.
