Under the Whirlpool name since 2006, most refrigerators are still made at one of the original Maytag manufacturing centers in Amana, Iowa.
While Whirlpool has owned the Maytag name since 2006, Maytag is the oldest brand among laundry appliances made in the USA. Since its inception in 1893, Maytag has produced high-quality, USA made washer and dryer models. They continue to be one of the most reliable washing machine and dryer options.
Among clothes washers, "the Maytag, Whirlpool, and Amana washers are made in Clyde, Ohio; and the Maytag, Whirlpool, and Amana dryers are made in Marion, Ohio," Blumenthal said.
Maytag also has a long history of manufacturing in the US, starting in 1893. They were acquired by Whirlpool in 2006, so many of its products are now produced at Whirlpool's plants. According to Whirlpool, it employs 28,000 Americans to run their day-to-day operations.
