Every month we offer special appliance packages which are the best values. Rebates change monthly and can deviate up to 30%. It’s a good place to save some money.
KitchenAid has just introduced a new line of products. So, we will look at the brand, the package levels, and the new products.
KitchenAid Background
KitchenAid is one of the upscale brands of the Whirlpool Corporation. They are known for the dishwashers and slide-in ranges. The company was started in 1919 by the Hobart Corporation, manufacturing their now famous stand mixers. In 1985, they were sold to the Whirlpool Corporation.
KitchenAid just went through a much needed design change. They added more stainless steel to their appliances for a more professional look without the high end appliance pricing.
Their new ranges also have a much more powerful burner than the previous model. The new gas ranges boast an 18,000 BTU power burner vs. 15,000 on the older model. This is a great upgrade if you use larger pots for boiling, wok cooking or like searing at a high temperature.
