When thankfully our HE top load washer needed a $400 seal....it was time for a change.  Tired of dirty clothes, out of balance constantly, wrinkled, clothes tied into knots, drain hose plugging etc.....Went looking for the most energy INEFFICIENT washer I could find. Ended up at Lowes getting a Roper for around $280 installed.  The thing has a steel or ceramic tub, it actually uses water......and clothes are clean and not knotted.  It washes in half the time as the old HE one did,  and the best part is, it has NEVER gone out of balance and not finished a load.... EVER!!  Simpel to use, not a bunch of ridiculous electronics on it that aren't needed to wash clothes...The best appliance we have ever bought hands down!!
