My parents had a Magic Chef range in the back room, of course now destroyed by Katrina. It wasn't anything fancy, just a black and white 4 burner 30 inch electric range. No window. Must've been a Maytag :-P | ||

Norge-Magic Chef connection Norge was the home appliance division of Borg-Warner. B-W sold Norge to Fedders, which owned the Magic Chef brand. The result being that, under Fedders, Norge-designed washers were also sold under the Magic Chef name. | ||

Norge Norge equipment was fair in the 80's it's long gevity had been compromised though the Wards washer that we had only lasted 9 years. Don't know why this was but probably had cheapen them out some. CLICK HERE TO GO TO singsonglee's LINK | ||

Norge On the Norge picture I'm going to guess it's about a late70's or early 80's but not exactly sure. But I think is close. CLICK HERE TO GO TO singsonglee's LINK | ||

Horsepower is misleading as well...there is really no difference between the Norge's 3/4 and the Maytag's 1/3, IMHO. And to top it off, the Unimatic uses a 1/4 HP motor to drive the transmission and spin the tub at 1140, with no reduction gearing whatsoever! | ||
