A budget washing machine for laundry traditionalists

GE's GTW485ASJWS washing machine costs $650.

It has a traditional agitator, rather than the impeller-style design you see on many newer top-load machines.

It doesn't have a digital display.

Instead, it features five dials.

That makes it easy to adjust various settings, including the temperature, the soil level, the cleaning cycle and more.

The GTW485ASJWS has 13 cleaning cycles:

• Active Wear
• Bulky Items
• Casuals
• Cold Wash
• Colors/Normals
• Dark Colors
• Delicates
• Drain + Spin
• Heavy Duty
• Jeans
• Speed Wash
• Towels & Sheets
• Whites

It also features a 4.2 cubic-foot capacity bin.
