My guess it is an Ikea range made by Whirlpool, WP got this platform from MT who got it from Magic Chef, In my opinion these are average ranges, GE would be a much better choice for this type of range if it was going to get a lot of use, but if the price is right and it is to get light use this range may be fine.

And, as John said, was sold by IKEA, made by Whirlpool.

It's on page six of the 2014 North American lineup pdf from IKEA.

I imagine it will be a perfectly good range - IKEA kitchen appliances I've used in Germany were always good or better for the price.

for what they did to Maytag, I have used their Ikea offerings and, quite frankly, they were about on a par with B/S/H, give or take. Certainly no worse than Candy.

Of course, American stuff is below Candy in quality, so there's that to take into consideration, too.

Actually it's why did Hobart give up on Kitchen Aid--almost GIVING it to Where'll-Pooh!!!!????

Hi Kevin what would you have done differently if you were whirlpool and had bought Maytag? Maytag had already destroyed them selves but I'd love to hear your take on that.

Dave, Hobart did not own KitchenAid when whirlpool purchased it Dart&craft had bought it from Hobart years before.

1) I was savaged here for supporting the takeover of Maytag by a Chinese company who had promised in writing to keep Newton and the workers. We don't want no godless commie gooks running our glorious Highlander! That was one of the least inflammatory comments aimed at me. We want all-American Whirlpool to honor the tradition of glorious Maytag. Seriously. Was told that. It's in the archives.

2) Whirlpool immediately killed all the good Maytag designs, fired the workers, closed the factory, put thousands of suppliers out of business and anyone who, today, claims Maytag is anything but a gussied up Roper/Estate/Kirkland dressed in cheap chrome plated plastic thinks lipstick on an Alaskan bulldog makes it look smart, too.

Whirlpool didn't 'save' Maytag, they destroyed her. 

Now, nobody disputes that the Maytag managers made the company a disaster. Idiots, every single one and they didn't deserve those golden parachutes. At.All.

But - we had a firm, written, genuine offer on the table to keep the workers and the good designs and it was rejected because of rah-rah rah 'muriKKKa whoopla.

Stupid. Stupid, too, in the business sense - the appliance market needs more competition and less concentration. Whirlpool, today, is like GM in the days of it's millions of motor divisions and companion cars.

By that's not how Whirlpool sold the takeover. They really pushed their love for an iconic American brand and keeping American jobs in America.

We fought this one so hard and I was kicked so viciously in the teeth by the rah-rah-'muriKKKA folks around here back then that I remember it quite well.

Had Whirlpool openly said: There's nothing left to save, we're losing money on this and will for years to come (and it did cost them a pretty penny as those horrible bad Amananannatags and all the rest of the trash continued to fail under service guarantees) I'd have been much more accepting of it.

But, no - it was all: Those horrid Chinee' slant-eyes must not be permitted to get their yellow paws on our glorious American product, even though they've promised to keep the workers and the factory right there. Nope, it was unpardonable and Whirlpool played it to the hilt.

Now - two things. One, Whirlpool today is admittedly not the gay-bashing, lying hunk of MBA jerks they were back then. Good!

Second, nobody in their right mind questions that Maytag was making trash. Just - their really good stuff was axed by Whirlpool at once. 

Whirlpool isn't today, but they sure as heck were not too long ago. Invested in anti-gay politicians, even.

Times change. Fortunately.
