Buying a new Washer. When people ask me what I recommend I ask them Two Questions? Do you want a Front loader or a top loader? How much are you willing to spend? If you are looking for a good quality top load washer and are a semi tight budget then I would go for a top load Frigidaire. These...

Re: Magic Chef washer This washer was a Fedders/Norge made machine. I'm guessing aroung Mid 80's as it looks like the Montgomery Wards washer that I had and I bought It in 1985. Thats when they recessed the water fill spout. It should have a 3/4hp. motor and a commerically proven transmission...

Re: Norge washer Thank you Swestoyz for a most enjoyable video. The Norge/Wards washers were and have been my favorite for years. I think that they are the best washers by far. I had a Wards washer and it was the best one me and my wife have ever owned. We used to yards sales and people always...

Re: Washer and Dryer ctrn08: My advise to you is to send them back and get a Frigidaire set. Either in Front load or one of their all in one units in top loading, (although these are very few and far between, but may still find one somewhere). Frigidaire has come up in quality and has kept the...

Re: Who Makes the biggest Dryer? Well it used to be Norge with the 8cu. foot drum and the 21in. steel fan in the back of the drum. Now a days it would have to be Whirlpool with their 7cu. foot drum. As far as the fastest it would have been Norge back in the 70's and early 80's but now a days I...

Re: Westinghouse Laundromat Gansky1 Your Laundromat is just like the one my Aunt Helen had when I was about 2 or 3 years old and I loved to watch it wash and rinse but not spin as it would walk the floor and it scared me. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Danf.

Re: What Front loader to by. If to was up to me right now I would buy the Frigidaire, either one of the Square door models or the Affinities. I have seen these machines up close at the store where we buy our applances and they seem to be very well built, and Frigidaire has about the best...
