Samsung 5.2 cu. ft. Smart Top Load Washer vs Amana NTW4519JW Top Load Washer

The Samsung is the better washer for most households: bigger drum, faster cycles, steam, Wi-Fi and a 20-year motor warranty. The Amana is a simpler, smaller machine with an agitator, and its 4-out-of-5 owner rating across roughly 1,900 reviews shows it does the basics without fuss. Pick the Amana only if you want a plain knob-controlled washer and a smaller footprint.

• Choose the Samsung if you wash for a family, want a 5.2 cu. ft. drum, a 28-minute full-load cycle, steam, and app control.
• Choose the Amana if you want a basic agitator washer with simple knobs and a smaller drum for a small household.
