Magic Chef History
As a subsidiary of Whirlpool, Magic Chef enjoys a shared history that began in 1911. Whirlpool founder
Lou Upton created the then-Upton Machine Company to produce motorized wringer washers. In 1949, the company name
changed to Whirlpool, and produced $48 million in annual revenue. In 2006, Whirlpool acquired Maytag, along with
its subsidiary Magic Chef.

Magic Chef dishwashers, when they were readily available, came as built-in appliances, and featured three to five

Chef dishwashers is the tall tub.
