It's probably just you - but it's curious how many brands that are known to millions and export can still be unknown to people.
Next you'll say you think Whirlpools just exist in oceans. :D
- manuelabeledo 5y agoNot quite. I had never heard of Maytag until I moved to the US. It isn’t a widely known brand in mainland Europe. Whirlpool is, though it seems that it has been displaced a bit from the market by LG and Samsung.
- OakNinja 5y agoI’ve never heard of Maytag before either. I guess they are not on the European market?
- zerkten 5y agoThey were available per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maytag#Maytag_International https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maytag#Maytag_International. The problem is that they didn't fit with typical requirements in a European home with their cost and space requirements. This relegated them to commercial usage or custom homes with dedicated space for a washer and drier.
- open-source-ux 5y agoMaytag is not a well known brand in the UK. This may be because top-loading washing machines are not widespread here. Front-loading washing machines are the norm in the UK and in other European countries. It's unusual to see top-loading washing machines for sale.
- ectopod 5y agoMaytag is common in UK launderettes but I've never seen a domestic one.
