Shop Amana Washers TodayThe brand is known for making quality washers without unnecessary features. Usability is one of Amana's top priorities when designing its washer products to appeal to a wide range of consumers. Choosing Amana washers will ensure that your appliance is stylish, durable, and built to last. The perks of having Amana washers are countless - let's have a look at a few of them!
1.  Amana Front Load Washers and Top Load Washers Have Different Models
Amana washers come in two different models: top-loading and front-loading.
- Top-Load Amana Washer: For standard laundering needs, the Amana top-load washer has everything you need. A major highlight of the product is the Dual Action Agitator. With independent locomotion, clothes are drawn through the entire tub for a more thorough cleaning. In order for garments to wash and tumble more effectively, special agitation is counterbalanced by a porcelain tub that resists snagging.
- Front-Load Amana Washer: It's worth checking out Front-Load Amana Washer if you need a front-loading model at an affordable price. In the Front-Load Amana Washer, the tub is accessible from the front. This model has a larger capacity as compared to the top-load model. In addition to being energy-efficient, it is also water-efficient.
2.  Has Different Wash Cycles
Wash cycles should match the loads you plan to wash. Amana washers allow you to select the appropriate cycle based on the type of laundry you typically do.Â
The following is a list of the main washing cycles that Amana washers offer.
- Normal/Regular: Used for loads that are normally stained.
- Bulky Items: Use this cycle for items such as comforters, washable rugs, sheets, jackets, sleeping bags, and other large items.
- Heavy Duty: Used for loads with heavily stained clothing.
- Delicates: Use this cycle for delicate items such as lingerie, silk, sweaters, etc.
The front-load washer has six distinct cycles: quick wash, towels, whites, colors, wrinkle control, and sanitization.
The top loader has a special cycle for casual clothes. According to Amana, this is suitable for sportswear and some casual business clothes that don't require ironing.
3.  Available in Various Sizes and Capacities
One of the other great perks of the Amana washer is it is available in different sizes and capacities.
- The width of the front-load washer is 27 inches, the height is 39 inches, and the depth is 31 inches.
- Alternatively, the company's top-loader measures 27.5 inches wide, 43 inches high, and 27 inches deep.
So, you can choose the washer that can fit in the dedicated space in your home. There are 4.3 cubic feet in the front loader and 3.5 cubic feet in its top loader. With both capacities, you can load 12 to 16 pounds on them, making them ideal for large to small families.
4. They Are Energy Efficient
The Amana washing machines are energy-efficient; their water usage is five gallons less per load than your typical front-load washer, which will save you about 2,000 gallons per year.
According to its Energy Guide label, Amana's front loader uses about 123-kilowatt hours per year. Annually, this amounts to about $18 in electricity costs.
Though, there is no Energy Star certification for the top loader. Nonetheless, since it won't have a large capacity, it will only use 162 kWh per year, amounting to a cost of about $19.
5.  They Are Eco-friendly
Amana washers are ecological and can be used even at low temperatures for effective cleaning. Due to their energy efficiency, Amana front-load washers are environmentally friendly. The tumbling action of front-load washers requires less water and electrical energy, as well. Your household's carbon footprint will be reduced as a result. The use of high-efficiency machines like front-loaders also requires less detergent, which means fewer chemicals are released into the soil and groundwater.
6.  Amana Appliances Reasonable Prices
Amana products are available at most major retailers, and salespeople generally have high opinions of them. Top-load washers from Amana cost about $580, while front-loaders cost about $850.
Despite being a few bucks more expensive, the top-load model costs almost as much as similar Whirlpool models. However, unlike most manufacturers, Amana makes a front-loading machine for an $850 list price that exceeds expectations.
7.  Can Handle Large Loads
Amana front-load washing machines are best for families with large loads or people who wash a lot. Unlike top-load washers, front-load washers have no central axis, so they typically have more laundry space inside the drum, so you can wash more items per load.
8.  Amana Washers Are User-Friendly
Considering that only 5% of buyers of higher-end washing machines actually use all of the machine's intended features, fewer features aren't necessarily a bad thing. Washing machines made by Amana are generally easy to use and provide solid performance.
9. Amana Top Load Washers Are Good for Compact Spaces
You can also stack Amana front-load washers on top of dryers to save laundry room space, which is another benefit. Due to this ability, they are ideal for apartments and smaller homes, as well as for loading and unloading laundry.
10. Amana Washers Come with Warranty
There is a one-year warranty on all Amana appliances, including the front-load and top-load washers. Therefore, if the damage wasn't caused by poor use, you won't have to worry about replacing parts or labor in the first year.
Best Value Top Load Model - Amana® 3.5 NTW4516FW
Taking care of laundry can be easy with the Amana top loader. Amana's single model 3.5 cu ft 8 cycle top loading washer is a good example of what all washers should be capable of at their most basic level.
Amana® 3.5 NTW4516FW Specifications
- 120 Volts / 60 Hz / 15-20 Amps
- Limited 1-Year Parts and Labor Warranty
- 27 L / 27.5 W / 42 H
Amana® 3.5 NTW4516FW Overview
With its 3.5 cubic foot capacity and simple dial controls, the Amana NTW4516FW is a traditional top-load washer. For several years, it has been Amana's top-load washer. This model is perfect if you like simple things. For most households, its mid-sized capacity will be sufficient to meet the laundry needs of two to three people. Even though it isn't Energy Star certified, it still uses less water per wash.
Also, you don't lose features just because it's simple. With a dual action agitator and a Deep Water Wash option, this machine has a good number of cycles. There is an excellent feature in the Clean Washer cycle that most consumers do not take advantage of. If you want your washer's interior to stay clean and fresh, you should run this cycle every 30 washes.
Moreover, this washer uses auto-sensing technology that only fills the drum to the necessary level based on the amount of laundry you place in it. So, your washer's performance and fabric care can be improved. For heavily soiled loads, Deep Water washing is an excellent option. An extra rinse can also be added along with the automatic load size sensing and the Deep Water wash option. Despite the name "Water Level," Amana's options actually combine extra rinse with max fill.
To maximize cleaning results, the dual action agitator rolls clothes against the porcelain tub bottom, while late lid locks allow you to include items you may have forgotten.
The machine is designed for use with high-concentration HE detergents. And LED lights indicate where the machine is in the cycle. Also, simple dial controls enable it to spin at a maximum speed of 700 RPM.
Additionally, Amana's model NTW4516FW is designed and assembled in the US, making it a great option for those who prefer to buy American products.
