I recently was in the market to purchase a new washer and dryer. I was determined to buy American while also supporting a local small business. I had decided to go for Whirlpool because I had heard they were made in America. I found a small independent owner appliance store nearby. When I entered the store, I told the owner that I wanted to buy Whirlpool because they were American made. He quickly pointed out to me that Whirlpools were made in America but many of the parts were made in China. He told me that if I truly wanted a 100% American made product then the best choice was Speed Queen. He went on to say that every part within the Speed Queen was made in America. It’s also the best made product that I could buy and it has been the choice of laundromats for decades because they are built to last. I was so happy with my purchase and they work great. I did have to pay more but it was worth it to me. I accomplished what I set out to do. I bypassed the giant corporations and supported a small business and I was not contributing to China’s slave labor. I would love to hear of any similar stories and what products are out there that we can trust are 100% American made.
