Founded in 1893 in Newton, Iowa, by F.L. Maytag as a farm implement company, Maytag pivoted to wooden-tub washing machines in 1907 to combat seasonal lulls. Known for extreme durability and the "Maytag Man" icon, the company grew into a major appliance leader before being acquired by Whirlpool in 2006. Maytag delivers reliable washers, dryers, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, cooktops, dishwashers, wall ovens, and ranges for your home.
