Interesting. For as new as this machine is, it still uses the burp-a-lator lint filter system. I think the Norge brand was a best kept secret. They really built their stuff tuff. They were built solid.
My Grandma had a Montgomery Ward Touch n Wash washer, that operated like this. Unlike other washers, the Touch n Wash operated by pressing a button, and the timer moved until the needle reached the desired cycle and time, and released the button. Occasionally, she got irritated when she passed up her desired cycle, that she had to hold down the button, until it reached the area of the dial again. There's at least 1 Touch n Wash washer video on here.
@@BroccoliBeefedTrue, they were loud, but they were no louder than the Frigidaire Jet Cone washers built by General Motors. I personally don't trust a washer that doesn't make any noise. As for how they looked, they weren't ugly. So maybe they weren't as glamorous as Kenmore or GE or Whirlpool, they got the job done. That's what's important. Plus, back in those days, all washers were designed differently so you had a choice of wash actions, cycles, load capacities. These days, most of the machines out there are pretty much the same and don't last nearly as long as an old school washing machine like this one.
Some late friends of ours owned an early 1980’s Admiral washer mechanically the same as this one-theirs had the metal tub ring and fill snout at the back, though. It was a noisy washer, but a good workhorse.
My grandma had an old MW Signature from the 70's and I remembered as a kid it had a long soak period before the drain/spin cyle. I noticed the featured model in this clip also has a long soak period before the spin. Why do some washing machines have a soak period before the spin and some other brands do not? For example... the old Whirlpool washers would immediately go into a drain period without a soak period.
I have just become a Norge fan! Love the lint filter design. I have always loved the G-E Filter-Flo and now I like the Norge as well. I would love to see the mechanics underneath.
Bill Slater All the Maytags tbat we're not an Orbital drive we're Norge washers, such as the Maytag Atlantis, Maytag Peeforma, ect, were all Norge design.
The one that came after that (With the waterfall to get read of suds) was much better and really ran when washing. But that spin cycle was a serious BEAST, it was effective and really was effective with the mild sud reduction.
Had a Norge from the early seventies until 1983. These were great cleaning washers that were also very loud. Never heard a machine that loud. Dirt didn't stand a chance with these washers.
I like the wash action.
Smooth like a cadillac
What a good old washer hold on to it
You could never go wrong with these machines the best
I love how this machine fills up with water and the wash action!!!

Bill Slater , They were ugly, loud, crude. Nowhere near the glamour of Kenmores

Burp-o-later filter! Now that's funny. I never thought of it as that, but it's true.

@@jeffreyparent2931 That's what Norge called it , The burp-O-Lator.

I really enjoy this washer awesome classic
Nice washer but looks to have an unsealed drum (Colander) and therefore uses an enormous amount of water.
Some of the best washers what a classic
Why does it hum when slowing down?. Does it put the motor in reverse or something?.
My grandmother had this very model. She used it for years, it was quite a workhorse. Albeit did become a big rust bucket, it kept going & going.
jkminnich Like Timex- Takes A Licking And Still Keeps On Ticking
interesting how the fabric softener dispenser cover the lint filter and agitator top! clever
La presión del agua ..me encanta 💟💟
Better washing machines in that time I miss them

Norge made awesome washers..... this one for Montgomery Wards is a winner
You must be talking about HE washers.
Gunshot end of cycle signal
It looks like, you need a, mister repair
Man.
INTERESTING... So it pumps the water out BEFORE the spin cycle starts... I haven't seen that in a while, watching all these washing machine vids...

Manning Taylor kenmores too drain with no pause
Depending on the brand
I have just become a Norge fan! Love the lint filter design. I have always loved the G-E Filter-Flo and now I like the Norge as well. I would love to see the mechanics underneath.
So would I.
great washer
Sounded like a time bomb ready to go off.
My uncle had one of these washers but his was from the early 80's, I remember telling him his washer sounded as if it was sneezing.
It's a shame Norge disappeared, that company made some good appliances. They were built sturdy and lasted.
Bill Slater All the Maytags tbat we're not an Orbital drive we're Norge washers, such as the Maytag Atlantis, Maytag Peeforma, ect, were all Norge design.
Norge / Signature was made by Baird / Warner which also made York air conditioning.
It's a Warge
You have great water pressure.
I did not know they still made these MW washers in 1988.
The one that came after that (With the waterfall to get read of suds) was much better and really ran when washing. But that spin cycle was a serious BEAST, it was effective and really was effective with the mild sud reduction.
I love this thing!
If a Norge couldn't wash it,Then it can't be washed!
Ahhh the norge neutral/spin drain.
Kemores and Whirlpools (the most popular at the time) always drained the water before they spun
Fills up very fast
Sounds Like The Pump Sheath Inside The Pump Pulley Is Going Out
Cool machine
great video
That, and for soaking

pat cola I remember how loud the Wards Signatures were too.
Whats the spin RPM on this?
StrongEnough78 I Believe It's 680 rpm
@cookietaster12 yes i agree
Woooou!!! Love it.
I heard the clicking sound
Why does it take such a long time to drain?
Thier water pumps need to be cleaned out very quick fix !!
I believe they were bought by Whirlpool..
BroccoliQueefed Maytag bought Norge. So all the non Orbital drive Maytags we're Norge, aka the Atlantis, performa, ect. All Norge design.
