Despite the name being a knock off of Kenmore, who makes these?

My guess would be Midea.

Midea? Never heard of them, but I sure do now. What is their history?

Here's one thread about Midea from two to three years ago: www.automaticwasher.org/c...

All I know is that Midea is a huge Chinese company that makes many appliances under different names, including appliances made for and branded as US based companies.

Whenever I hear of a brand I never heard of before I automatically suspect it's made by Midea. Here is a Midea washer that, as far as I can tell from the pictures and specs, looks to have a similar cabinet to the KoolMore in the opening post, though somewhat different features. www.midea.com/us/laundry/...

I've been searching for a reliable and durable microwave and came across this article that claims the majority of microwaves sold in the US, regardless of the brand, are made by Midea www.nytimes.com/wirecutte...

I wonder how this company compares to Haier. Striving to be quality or simply making cheap knock offs? I know China can literally build and imitate anything at any quality, legally.

GE imports...

...from mid-00s to about 2014 are often Midea-quality about the same as Korean imports-I have a GE 24"pair from about 2012: washer is Midea,made in china,dryer-condenser type- is made in Korea-don't know who made it.Washer is pretty nice little machine-BLDC direct drive.I got the set in 2015 for $50 because the washer leaked-a couple badly installed hoses were rubbing and wore through.

GE has a unsurpassed gift at setting craptastic records. They're hogging all the trophies.

Are mostly Sam Sung built over the last 12 years or so, some were even built in Korea.

 

We work on lots of these, like SS they have a lot of broken spiders.

Not surprised. The model Ts and Hydrowaves were full on compensatory vengeance for all the raw material they invested in the Filter Flos.
