If you are in the market for a new washer, you are probably trying to learn about every style and option available to you. One option worth exploring is the agitator washing machine (discover more of your choices in our washing machine buying guide).

With all the modern front load washers and top load impeller style washers on the market, traditional agitator washing machines can be easily overlooked. However, some manufacturers are still making traditional top load washers with agitators in the tubs to clean the clothes. These washers generally use more water and are smaller in capacity than newer models. However, the pros are many. Chief among them are wash performance with certain types of loads and durability. 

A stacked washer dryer combo can be an ideal option for apartments and small homes where space is at a premium.

Amana has been manufacturing appliances in the US since the 1930s and their products are well-known for offering great value. They produce solid products with good basic features at very affordable prices. Some consumers just love them!  

If you are in the market and doing your research on new washers, you may be looking for an Amana front load washer. As of this writing, Amana produces a 3.5 cubic foot top load washer and matching dryer, and a 4.3 cubic foot front load washing machine and matching dryer. When this blog was initially published, Amana did not produce front load models at all! This new model was released in late 2019 after the old model was discontinued in early 2019.

How can I make my washer wash faster? And the truly inquisitive may also want to know: Why do washing machines take longer now than they used to? Isn't that a bad thing?
