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.
