which is better hotpoint or amana washing machine

I am in the market for a new washing machine and am trying to decide between a Hotpoint or Amana. I have heard good things about both brands, but I am not sure which one is better. I would love to hear from people who have had experience with either of these brands and get their opinion. What are the pros and cons of each? What have been your experiences with either of these brands? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
