Whirlpool VIP27 Microwave Oven

Whirlpool is a globally recognized brand in the home appliance sector, tracing its roots back to the United States in 1911. The microwave shown in the image is part of their 'Crisp Series,' a line that was historically celebrated for its innovative grill and crisp functions which were developed to improve the texture of microwaved foods.

Today, Whirlpool Corporation remains the ultimate owner of the brand. While the brand is famously American, its manufacturing footprint is truly global. Depending on the specific model and market, Whirlpool microwaves are manufactured in multiple countries including the United States, Mexico, China, and Italy (following their acquisition of Indesit). The brand continues to maintain its headquarters in Benton Charter Township, Michigan, and operates as one of the world's leading major appliance companies.
