In the order the records were researched. Canada-first grouping and ranking need a tier computed from evidence and a price to rank on, and this build has neither, so nothing here is ordered by preference.

KitchenAid

major appliances

U.S.-controlled and owned by Whirlpool since 1986. The stand mixers are assembled in Ohio, and we are still verifying where the major appliances in this lineup are made.

ManufacturingSources disagree

Credible sources disagree about where this is made, so we are not picking a side.

  • Whirlpool Corporation

    Canada is an office location with no manufacturing designated

    Global Locations
  • Wikipedia

    Products made in Ohio, South Carolina, Iowa, Mississippi, Indiana, Arkansas, Ontario and Quebec; others in China

    KitchenAid

Conflicting, so no settled country list is recorded. Whirlpool's own pages give the United States, Mexico and Brazil with Canada as an office location only, and place KitchenAid small appliances in Greenville, Ohio. Wikipedia states some products are made in Ohio, South Carolina, Iowa, Mississippi, Indiana, Arkansas, Ontario and Quebec, and others in China. These do not reconcile.

Canadian operationsSources disagree

Sold through Whirlpool Canada LP. Whirlpool's own global-locations page designates no Canadian manufacturing, while Wikipedia's KitchenAid manufacturing list names Ontario and Quebec. The Canadian question is part of the manufacturing conflict and is recorded as conflicting rather than resolved.

Inglis

major appliances (laundry)

USU.S.-controlledPROVISIONAL

A Canadian name with a Canadian history, owned today by Whirlpool Canada and ultimately by U.S.-based Whirlpool Corporation. Six laundry models are still listed, and we are still verifying where they are built.

Not established. We are still verifying where this is made.

Unknown. No source states where the six current SKUs are made. Whirlpool's washer plant is Clyde, Ohio and its dryer plant is Marion, Ohio, but no source attributes either to Inglis, so no country is asserted.

Canadian operationsStrong

A Canadian-administered brand (Whirlpool Canada LP trademark, a Canada-only lineup, Canadian customer care) with no Canadian manufacturing. Inglis was historically a Canadian manufacturer: founded in 1859 by John Inglis in Guelph, Ontario, making home laundry from 1946 and Canada's leading domestic laundry producer by 1966.
