Cannot Remember The Back Story
But yes, these were very expensive units at the time and were only available for a hot minute.
Cannot recall if there were design problems, low sales and or because Whirlpool had acquired Maytag and had to ditch the KitchenAid brand that caused the demise.
Being as all this may these are supposedly very well built (near or at commercial quality) units that could probably give Speed Queen sets a run for their money.
These are *not* apartment sized units by a long shot, *LOL*. Loft conversion yes, but not apartment.
