We have this exact 3 speed Norge VHQ washer at our museum, I would love to see the TV ad for this machine again where the run around singing, Knock On Any Norge, Hear The Sound Of Silent Quality, It was a fun ad.

Dramatically quiet and smooth?
Hi John, is your VHQ Norge really dramatically quiet like it says in the ad? I can't imagine a Norge humming along like a Maytag. Norge washers were a lot of things, but quiet wasn't one of them.

Quiet!! LOL
About as quiet as those old Hotpoint dishwashers in the 60s that were called , Whisper Clean or something similar, I cant remember exactly, in any event they sounded like a garbage disposal full of pork chop bones! The Norges would, in my opinion, out wash darn near anything, but they were NOT quiet!

Norge/Wards weren’t quiet so you knew they were actually doing something...like cleaning the heck out of the clothes! Gotta love those machines!
This dude thinks it was "solid quality".

Eureka!
Well, this dude could have saved me a lot of time, because I searched and searched this morning, channeling Lauderess who would have done better. Guess the old VHQ ad is not to be found. Is this Brad Ross? I'm betting it is!
I found this not too loud Norge, but they may have muffled it because I know the earlier vintages were loud. Later ones, though, not so much.
I had an 80's Norge 20, that sounded most pleasant--powerful but not loud.
