Your blog is great. Talking about GE Appliances, huh? There is not much I could personally say about the company. But if you need a bite of bitter experience, then go to www.pissedconsumer.com, where you will find lots of bad feedbacks about the company. Talking about consumer electronics in general, I shoul say it is too hard to find something reliable and worthy, since today cheap fakes are numerous.
