Hi All!
I was in Home Depot the other day and noticed all the Norgetags were on clearance, and the BOL Admiral Norge was an absolute giveaway, at $195. The quality is crap, but the capacity was huge and the price was right, so I threw it on the truck. Hooked it up today and found it is fairly quiet, has a brisk but wide agitation stroke(not quite as violent as a Shredmore), fills to the top on "super", and stops spinning within 1 second from a fast spin. It has no spray rinse, and the tub spins at the beginning of the drain. Granted it is crap, and could never replace any of the golden oldies, but IMO, not a bad machine for less than $200. The matching dryer as some good features as well, for short money. I might try to find one tommorow, but I have a feeling they will be all sold out. Anyone have one of these Admirals, and what do you think?
