Eddie, I completely agree with you. That's the biggest reason I have the Whirlpool washer I have now. When my old one started having too many issues, I seriously considered what I would need in a machine. Did I really need the fancy more expensive LG with its many, many options? I eventually settled on no I did not, because when I had my old Whirlpool, I basically used the same cycle over and over. And so it goes with my new one. That machine is basically frozen on autosense, heavy duty cycle, warm water, hot for towels. Occasionally I'll use deep wash if the towels load is particularly large, or to wash large items like blankets. My laundry needs are just not that complicated, so I have no need for a steam machine, for instance, when I'll just forget about that feature and therefore never use it.
In retrospect, I probably could have gone even one step lower on the ladder and purchased the cheaper Amana washer, like the Roper you have, and it would have served me just fine. But I wanted the addition of the soil level knob that my current one has, so that the agitation time isn't quite as long on an already pretty long cycle.
Two months in, and I'm still happy with my machine, so I hope to be so in years, just as you are now.
