Signature 2000 by Norge
The Beast
I needed a Washing Machine and was in the market for one, I how ever at the time could not afford anything much. I was looking for one that would work, and clean, that was all I asked.
A friend of mine informed me there was one a woman was offering for free. So my friend picked it up for me, she and her husband brought it over and it was a off white very old machine the Signature 2000 by Norge.
I was very happy to at least have something really, I was a bit worried at first being its been dinged around, and showed it, truly showed its age. I went on and tried it. WOW to my surprise, this machine was right on the money. Quick to work on any settings, there is Hot/Warm, Hot/Cold, Warm/Cold and cold/cold. I tried them all, and no weird noises. I figured I got lucky with a machine was all. I had been waiting for the machine to go out or have something go wrong with it, this was my first machine I had owned personally, I have used others however, but this was mine. I got this Machine in 2002.
Things came up and we moved a few times and the poor thing has been banged up more, and still continued to hold on strong, and has never once had a concern. I was very impressed to have gotten lucky enough to have a washing machine work so well, that was free!
Now we had moved to another state, and things happened where we had our things in storage. The washer was in there over a year. My mother has a Kenmore, and My husband, at the time worked in auto repair, he had a lot of grease and such on his clothes, I tried to get them out, using various chemicals and my mothers washing machine was what I was using at the time. Her machine is a good machine much newer and up to date. Needless to say it didn't make much a difference at all.
We had finally gotten our house and moved it in, and still not a single problem, started right up, ran fantastic! This is the best ever, I have had to re-wash everything being in storage the clothes needed it, the machine handled over 10 hours of back to back washing clothes. I found the pants that were used at my husbands work.
I placed them in and along with some gain with oxi, got them babies nearly clean! Sure some stains of where the grease marks were, but mostly all gone and hard to tell. I could not believe this old machine was better then my mothers newer Kenmore! This machine had always pulled through for many years, and has had a lot of abuse and put to work.
To this day, I STILL have my machine and it works great and I will not get rid of it, unless the unthinkable happens, Keep happy thoughts!
