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 the ad? The reason I know this that a friend of ours had two Kenmores and hated them both. She was watching our machine and said I wish my Kenmore would roll the clothes over like your Montgomery Ward/Norge does.

DA Agi.

It also had the 202degree turbosweep Agitator. Straight Vanes.

norge washers were always great for roll over and cleaning, i know my laundromat customers always loved these machines and any machine that replaced them got complaints, i guess next best they liked the filter flos.

The POD was yesterday or the day before and I can't remember the itemized list of what went in. I wish I could see the list, loaded in person. I really have a hard time wrapping myself around putting that much into any machine of any size all at one time. It simply boggles my mind.

Has a challenge been put forth?

almost 25 minutes in the hot suds

I have the GE that came in second. It washes for 18 minutes followed by a three minute pause. Then comes the magic. The machine throws the water so fast that the centrifical force keeps hurling and sloshing the water up from the outer tub back into the inner tub in a fascinating display that can only be called a spinning flush wash. I have has this machine for only two years, but never tire of this flooding sudsing spectacle. Of course as the water pumps out, the fireworks are over. No surprize here that it cleans so well.

That 4 minutes extra makes a difference. In the end all these machines cleaned well no matter what. Most of my memories were from a Norge 20 lb. machine that i admit at the time did not have the powerful wash action like an Maytag powerfin/gyrator...but it always got the laundry very clean.
210 degre arc..BS

agree with agi

That 20 pounder made in the 80's was the machine I used every day, had it for a decade, loved it, won so many CR cleaning ability sweepstakes. I'm surprized you think the gyrator is more powerful. For me the Norge leaves the Maytag in the dust. I'm with you the Norge is king of cleaning and mind-blowing turnover.
The only way to beat it is with Frankensteining: Put the giant Kitchen Aid aqua agitator inside a Whirlpool. When I become iphoto and utube literate, I'd love to show you. Later, Dude.
