Its time for a new washing machine. I'm looking for a good sturdy basic
machine - no extra bells & whistles needed - under $500. What do you
suggest.

$299.00, great value.

Better washer for $279

Roper is made by Whirlpool and the quality is the same. The difference
between these two washers is the $279 model offers 2-spped motor, the $299
model is single speed.
