I have the Roper sister ship, RTW4516 which will be a year old next month. I LOVE this washer! Its’ FAST, cleans excellently and ALWAYS does what it’s supposed to do. The least expensive washer you can lay your hands on brand new and a great bargain. I can afford to get any machine I’d like, but this fills the bill and doesn’t break the bank.
Glad to hear you like your Amana too. They have to be seen to be believed. Great flexibility, but I’ve found after using all the cycles that I most always use the Normal/Regular, Auto sense with hot water. I keep it set to this and for most loads I just need to add the detergent and the laundry, close the lid, press start and 35 mins later I have beautifully washed, rinsed and spun clothes.
It also handles large and bulky loads with no drama. I washed two king sized pillows a couple of weeks ago on the Bulky Cycle and they came out like new, no unbalancing either.

practically identical wash action as the 80s/90s/2000s dual action agitator washers (or shredmore, I think they called them) on here. Ever so slightly different, but the rollover is definitely similar.
It's interesting that for a few years, you could not buy a washer like this anymore.....then they started making them again, although much more cheaply made. Incidentally, I don't keep up with Speed queens. Did they go back to their older TL model that everyone loved? I remember a few years ago, they came out with a model that would barely roll anything over...it was horrible from the vids I saw. Did they go back to their better model or are they still selling that one? |
