 This is a Whirlpool BOL not a D&M or Frigidaire BOL. That's why it will last 25+ years even with a funny name like "roper" taped on the front. lol
Whirlpool dishwashers, at least from back then, tend to be be, if nothing else reliable. Quiet? not so much but not the worst.
Don't get me wrong, I've bought my fair share of Roper washers, dryers, and dishwashers, for rental units. It was an old boy friend that made fun of the Roper name. "It's a ~~Roper~~" he said in a condescending snicker.
Whirlypooly is still making a few Roper washer and dryers but that's not the $188 I paid back in the late 90s at Circuit City for a dryer or washer. Both the same price.
Who pays $600 smack-a-roos for a Roper dryer?
Apparently they don't make stoves, refrigerators, micros, or dishwashers anymore. Just these special units and only for Lowes. Ohh. Have to go to Amana for those other appliances.

Was just at Lowes this afternoon and happened to innocently end up in the appliance dept. (I don't know how that happens)
The Roper washer and electric dryer was there and the dryer was on sale for $399. Still a lot more than the $188 that they sold for back in 1998 at Circuit City's appliance dept. | ||

Is this BOL Roper a power clean module? When did WP introduce the PC module? What were some of the major changes during the run of the PC? When were "tall tubs" introduced?
Is this machine below a power clean? How much should I offer for this unit if unused? I spent a considerable amount of time digging through the archives for answers to these questions but was unable to find what I need. | ||
