Maytag MTW6205RR Top Load Washer vs Maytag Top-Load Agitator Washer

Both are Maytag top-load agitator washers built for tough stains, and the main split is size versus simplicity. The MTW6205RR gives you a larger 5.2 cu. ft. basket, a slow-close glass lid, app control and cycle memory, so it suits big families and anyone who wants remote start and notifications. The 5.2 cu. ft. Capacity Agitator Washer is the plainer machine: a 3-knob console, no window, no app, but the same POWER agitator, Deep Fill and a 10-year limited parts warranty on the motor and basket. Owners rate the Maytag agitator design well for stain removal; the trade-off is that agitator machines are rougher on delicates and use more water than HE impeller washers.

• Choose the Maytag MTW6205RR if you wash large loads, want a glass lid you can see through, and want app control, cycle memory and end-of-cycle alerts on your phone.
• Choose the Maytag 5.2 cu. ft. Agitator Washer if you want a straightforward knob-controlled agitator washer with Deep Fill, extra rinses and a long parts warranty, and you don't need an app or a window.
