vacuum cleaners.
In my opion any of the direct air vacs are the way to go. That would be the older Hoover and Eureka vacs. The Eureka FandG series and the older Hoover convertables that use top fill bags also the orecks and the sanitaires are all direct air which means that the dirt passes...
What soap to use?
If I had to make a choice in a detergent it would have to be the old realiable that people had used for years to get clothes clean and bright and was safe to use for colors and that being Oxydol. But it would have to be the old oxydol not the new stuff that they have on the...
Which Agitator ?
Well if you ask me I like the sprials of the white sprial agitator. I liked the rollover action of the clothes better than the red English electric. The Hotpoint would create a better layer of suds on top, espscially if you were using a detergent like Tide. Which is what I want...
G.E. Dryer
Northwesty the dryer is the exact same dryer that I grewup with at home my dad bought it when we lived in Springville, N.Y. at Cambles dept. store. So I very familer with it. It was a very good dryer. Brings back memories of my childhood.
westinghouse front loaders
You just gotta love those westinghouse or White-westinghouse
front loaders. I would love a set of them and I have allways wanted a set of Westinghouse frontloaders along with my Norge washers and dryers. Danf.
Dual Action Agitators
There was one washer that can wash its weight and still has really good roll over and that my firends is the Fedders/Norge 20lber and 3/4 hp motor and commercial transmission. This machine would actually wash a 20lb load. Because I have seen it done. Why wasn't this one in...
Easy Spindirer
Jet Cone love your Easys. My mom had one when us kids were very small and she loved it. One thing when rinsing in the extrator not ot over flow it which can happen very easy. You can process alot of clothes in a short amount of time with no special plumbing just roll it up to the...
What washer brand to buy.
Agiflow I couldn't agree with you more about the Norges. They washed well but were very noisy but I wish I had my Montgomery Wards/Norge washer back as It was the best washer me and my wife ever owned. Since they are no longer only bits and pieces of things used in the...
With Deepest Sympathy
Sorry to here about the passing of your father Steve. I too know loss this year as in March I lost my mom to cancer on March 19th at 1:10pm. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes we don't understand why this happens but keep in mind that everything...
Dishwashers :
We had a Maytag and we loved it it washed well got everything clean even in a huge load everything was cleaned would have another Maytag dishwasher in a minute. Compared to our new Frigidaire the Maytag washed better by far not as happy with the new dishwasher from Frigidaire...
Need a new washer sarah.
In my opion of course I would go with Fridigdaire either in a top or front loader. Electrolux has done a world of good for Frigidaire and White Westinghouse. One thing in their top loaders is the 3/4 hp motor and steel gears in the transmission so it's going to hold up...
Norge Timeline Dryer
This dryer is just like the one my mom had when I was a very small lad running around the house. This was one of the best dryers she every had and loved it. What happened to it was we traded it for moms' aunt Meriam's GE. Stove that we needed at that time and the house we...
Speed Queen:
Speed Queen still has the stainless steel tubs with a straight vane agitator and with the famous 210 degree stroke. Don't know about the longevity but it looks like it might last a little longer than 5 years. You can see them at their web site at alliance group or just type in...
Montgomery Wards Washers:
I can answer this question. Both companies made washers for Montgomery Wards. Norge was the main builder of most of them but Westinghouse also did some models only about 3top loaders and one set of front loader in the stack pack as they were called but you did not have...
Sprial Activator you are not alone .
Sprial you and me have something in common as I just a week or two ago on the 19th of March I lost my mon as well to Pancreatic cancer. So I know what you are going through. This is very hard on a person because of all the good memories you have of them and...
welcom new guy
This is a wonderful sight and with some wonderful people in it. I think most of us felt the same way, so kick your shoes off and set a spell and enjoy the pictures and videos. I sure do and welcome aboard. DanF.aka. Norgeman
westy front loaders
as far as I'm concerned I would put any of the laundomats against anyone of the G.E. machines and any of the Whirlpool/Kenmores and see which one has the best rollover action, This was mentioned in another thread. The westy would win hands down. It would clean better and be...
Gryrafoam: Re: Pressure canning
If you switch to eletric pressure canning you will get better results as the coil will keep the heat more constant where any little breeze will alter the flame on a gas stove and it's not going to maintain the temp that is needed to keep a good seal in the...
