What do you need in a 'basic' sewing machine?

A friend has asked me.

I have suggested several ordinary forward stitches, + obviously reverse,
A one step button holer
A zipper foot (again, standard, I would have thought)
But NO to computerised stuff!

what do you think? Don't know her budget but I'd imagine we're talking Janome, Husqvarna, that sort of thing, not unknown 40 quid Bulgarian brand in Aldi!
