I sold appliances for several years. Whenever I had a man who understood machines (engineer, mechanic) involved in the buying team I would take the machines apart and show how they were built and how they worked.
They ALWAYS bought Maytag.
The fact that Maytag gave the salesman a New York Steak with every sale had absolutely nothing to do with my respect for the brand.
Did you know that most airport fuel systems are made by Maytag?
What brand/s of fuel dispensing equipment does Maytag make?
