First off, did you know Maytag is owned by the Whirlpool corporation? Well, it's true! And the connection doesn't stop there, as both appliance brands are touted for their reliability and mass-market appeal.
Whirlpool Corp. (WHR) is a leading home appliance company that sells products under a wide variety of brands such as Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, and Consul.
While those brands also carry premium price tags, Whirlpool, Maytag (which is owned by Whirlpool) and GE are among the more-mainstream names that build appliances both stateside and overseas. And foreign-based manufacturers like Bosch and Electrolux also maintain factories in the U.S.
Maytag Laundry Appliances
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.
Most LG refrigerators are made in South Korea, with some models made in China. But with the construction of their massive factory in Clarksville, Tennessee, the brand will have most of its appliances for the US market produced in North America.
Today, Whirlpool Corporation owns the Jenn-Air, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and KitchenAid brands.
The KitchenAid stand mixer is the tool of the trade of cooking, especially baking. At $200 and up, it's an investment in both money and counter space — and it's still being made in the U.S. The mixers have been made in Greenville, Ohio, since 1941.
Whirlpool makes washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators that bear the Kenmore badge. In addition to Whirlpool-branded appliances, the company also manufactures Amana, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Maytag kitchen and laundry appliances.
