KitchenAid stand mixer and appliances

KitchenAid is an iconic American brand that revolutionized home cooking with the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919. The brand's origin story begins with the Hobart Manufacturing Company, which developed the first commercial mixers before adapting the technology for domestic use. The name supposedly originated when an executive's wife described the prototype as 'the best kitchen aid' she had ever owned.

Today, KitchenAid is a cornerstone of the American kitchen, with its headquarters and primary manufacturing facility for its signature stand mixers located in Greenville, Ohio. Since 1986, the brand has been owned by the Whirlpool Corporation, which has expanded the product line to include everything from large major appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers to professional-grade cutlery and cookware. While the stand mixers are famously made in the United States, other products in the catalog are manufactured globally to meet international demand.
