GE no longer owns or operates the GE Appliances business. Haier bought GE Appliances in 2016.

Haier is a remarkable company. It's not an accident that GE appliances took off after Haier purchased it.

It's darkly amusing that, at least for me and others on this thread, keeping the "GE" brand label is probably costing them sales. I also wouldn't even glance at a GE-branded home appliance if I were in the market, on the assumption it was cost-cutting trash, but if it's true that a different company has bought the brand and is making good stuff under it, now suddenly I might be interested. Which is the opposite of how buying the rights to a "classic" brand is supposed to work.

Right, they are only good because the original GE has nothing to do with them now.
