Who Sales The Most Washers In the US?

[frontloadfan]

I was on another web site (gardenweb) and I ran into a posting regarding the Whirlpool buying of Maytag. The below was posted:

APPLIANCE magazine estimates that Whirlpool currently produces 51 percent of the washers that are shipped for U.S. consumption. According to the APPLIANCE magazine 28th Annual Portrait of the U.S. Appliance Industry, published in September 2005, Maytag produced 20 percent of washers shipped for U.S. consumption, followed by GE with 17 percent and Electrolux (Frigidaire) with 9 percent.

For some time I have been really curious in regard to sales of washers. If the figures above are correct, I am really surprised. How could LG and Bosch not be included? The above figures have no mention of Kenmore. I would assume that the majority of those sells are tallied with Whirlpool.

If anyone finds any other figures to share, I would appreciate it.

My guess would be that Kenmore sells the most washers, but that the Whirlpool figures include Kenmore and Whirlpool branded machines.

And with Whirlpool swallowing Maytag whole, its share will only get bigger.

W/P and Kenmore do command about half of the washer & dryer market; has been that way for a long time, mainly due to the marketing muscle of Sears.
