Amana Washing Machine Reviews
Amana washing machine was introduced by the company only in the 1960's. Initially, the brand started out by manufacturing the first upright freezer in 1947 for residential use. In 1949 the company added a side-by-side refrigerator to their catalogue although it was not known as Amana then. It was only in 1950 that this manufacturing company was sold to a group of investors when the name Amana Refrigeration, Inc was formed. To sum it up, Amana washers only emerged after the company's success in selling household items.
Amana moved into the air conditioner market in 1954 and went on to acquire Raytheon in 1965. Raytheon is famous for their invention of the highly useful microwave oven in 1947. They also introduced a commercial Radarange model in 1954 and Amana went on to introduce the consumer model of Radarange in 1967. This is how the first popular microwave oven came into life and use in homes. After this, the company started out on its expansion plans and introduced Amana washers and Amana dryers apart from countertop ranges, furnace, and dishwashers. In 1997, Amana was bought by Goodman Global and since then they have been carrying on with the Amana Tradition.
