I am a new member and wanted to know if that was for real that you could attach a hairdryer to this Norge Dryer or was it a joke. Thanks, John |

If there was a Norge dryer in a basement, you didn't have to walk too far down the steps to know it! I'm sure they weren't as bad when they were new, but the seals and gaskets would leak - sending lint and warm, moist air into the house. Norge/Wards had a pressurized design, blowing air into the drum then forcing it through the filter in the front, or under the drum in earlier models as pictured here and above. You can see the lint at the bottom of the door and all around the base of the machine. All other dryers used a negative pressure (vacuum) principle so if you had a reasonable vent for the machine, lint and exhaust were kept to a minimum in the house.

My grandma didnt have an exterior exit for her dryer so it always felt like a tropical rainforest in her basement when ever she used her dryer. I know it is off subject but she hace a kenmore dryer. |

What's that thing on top of the agitator that looks like a brush of somekind? Is it a lint filter ala a Filter Flo or a handy scrub brush for getting out stains? I have never seen anything like that before |

It looks like Norge's version of a scrubber cap. |

Thats just sick! My grandmother had a Filter Queen Vacuum that had a hair dryer attachment. Found it while cleaning out the house. It had never been out of the original wrapper. I gave it to a cousin as a joke, because he had a summer job of selling Filter Queens door to door one summer while home from college. |
