Today, when choosing household appliances, buyers are trying to find out – whose company, to whom it belongs, to which country. But it should be remembered that the “nationality” of the brand and the country of origin may not match. KitchenAid branded appliances can be made in the US or China.

Overview of models and reviews
There are only three built-in models in the KitchenAid range. All of them are full-size – 60 cm wide. Condensation drying is used in all three machines.
The condensation type of drying is the least expensive, as it is based on natural physical processes. The disadvantage is the return of moisture in case of untimely opening of the door.
