Overview

Roper washer has been around for many years already. Fact is, this washer brand has been in the appliance radar since 1874. Having withstood all the tests and trials of time, we can only surmise that this washer brand is a force to reckon with.

But their reputation has been in tatters for the past few years ever since the advent of more modern washing machines. Only Whirlpool has saved them from impending bankruptcy. Now, they are back in the machine business. The simplicity of their washer technology is still their main attraction. People who are tired of modern and sophisticated washers that do not last long may feel like trying something as fuss-free and as uncomplicated as Roper washer models.

Roper Washer Model RTW4100SQ

There is no mistaking its conventional top load design. The controls are located on the topmost part of the machine. This washer is ideal for starting families. It has 2.5 cubic feet drum capacity which is relatively big for starting families without being too bulky. Here are some of the features incorporated in this washer model:

• Permanent Press – This gets rid of wrinkles and creases in your clothes while in the spin cycle. This is a common problem for most top loaders. The spin cycle bunches up, tangles together and wrinkles up clothes.
• 3 Water levels – Its 3 water levels will let you choose the right water level for your laundry needs. This is just enough to choose the most economical one for the amount of laundry you are washing.
• 2 temperature levels – If you want to clean heavily soiled clothes, you can choose from its various temperature levels.

This is one of the cheapest top load washers you can find. It is sold for a little over $350. That is a reasonable price for its simple features.

If you have a slightly bigger family and you moderate use for your washing machine, you can try this model. It has an extra large capacity. The generous capacity will allow you to wash more clothes in one washing cycle. Here are more of its features:

• 4 selectable water levels- Compared to the previous model of Roper washer, this one has more water levels. It will give you more options in choosing the appropriate water level for your laundry needs.
• 1/ wash/ Spin Speed Combination – The washer function will seamlessly transition to the spin cycle after the wash cycle because of this function. If you are only washing 1 batch of laundry load, use this feature for easier washing methods.
• Spreckle Porcelain Basket – The basket is made from more durable materials. This is also better for your clothes.

Straight Vane Agitator – This is a one-part type of agitator. With its bottom and side fins, it follows a back and forth turn that will carefully get rid of stains from your clothes.

It is actually a cheaper choice than the previous model. It costs about $320 in the market. This is also backed by reliable Whirlpool warranty.

This is the ideal choice for big families where washing machines are in constant use. Its 3.2 cubic feet of drum capacity will let you wash more clothes. In addition to this, the following are the features you can find in this machine:

• 4 wash/rinse temperature combinations – You can use different temperature for the rinsing and washing cycle. Program the machine beforehand and it will do the rest for you. You don’t have to baby sit the washer and reset the settings when it is on the rinse cycle.
• 8 automatic cycles- Be able to choose from different automatic washing cycles. Choose from delicate cycle to quick wash cycles.
• Permanent Press Cycle - This feature renders your clothes wrinkle and crease-free. This will help reduce unwanted creases that might necessitate pressing when the clothes have completely dried up.

As expected, this machine is a slightly more expensive choice. It is sold for about $379 in the appliance market. Like the previous models, this is also backed by a Whirlpool service warranty.

Conclusion

Roper washer models do not have a place in a very modern home. However, this is a good machine to rely on if you are only looking for simple laundry amenities. Roper even includes a manual on how to care and maintain this washer. It is the kind of washer you will want to have if you dislike confusing laundry technology that nearly always leads to washer faults and failures.
