The last washing machine I bought, the one I have had for 20 years, is as bare bones as they came. Hot/cold or cold/cold, large or small load. The salesman says-how about this feature, no, how about that feature, no, what about this cool gizmo, again no. I say how about that one with the dent in the side and no features, I'll take it if you knock some $$$ off. 20 years later it still works fine and I've done nothing to it. Sometimes simplicity is best.
