Speed Queen FF7 Front Load Washer vs Amana NTW4519JW Top Load Washer

Buy the Speed Queen FF7 if you want a front loader built for a long service life, with a 5-year parts and labor warranty, a 1 HP variable-speed motor and a 1200 RPM spin that pulls more water out of clothes. Buy the Amana NTW4519JW if you want a simple top load agitator washer with a slightly larger drum, knob controls and a deep water option. The Amana is the more basic machine and its 4-out-of-5 owner rating reflects that; the Speed Queen costs more to own up front but is the sturdier, quieter, better-warranted choice.

• Choose the Speed Queen FF7 if you want a durable front loader with a strong warranty, high spin speed and quieter operation.
• Choose the Amana NTW4519JW if you want a straightforward top load agitator washer with a bigger drum and simple knobs.
