Just last week, I purchased a plain jane KitchenAid refrig. Just damn. I suspect it to fall apart now right after the warrenty is up.
FYI, Kitchen Aid, Maytag, Whirpool, Ammana and several Kenmore models are all made in the same factories.
I have a french door fridge. It says Amana on the outside and Maytag on the inside. It was made in IA.
I bought it because Consumer Reports gave it the highest marks. I have had no problems with it in about 5 years since purchase.
The reason I bought it was it was the ONLY french door fridge I could buy that was made in the US.
GE Mexico
Samsung S. Korea
LG S. Korea
Bosch Germany
I also recently bought a Kitchen Aid diswasher. It is made in the same factory as Whirpool. They just put a differnet name on it.
