KitchenAid Superba Appliances

KitchenAid Superba Appliances have evolved over the years. This article isa review of the history of the KitchenAid Corporation and what it hasbecome today. In 1919 the company began with its now infamous kitchen stand mixer. Itgot its name by an executive of the company’s wife who was testing it inher kitchen and called it the “best kitchen aid” ever. The name has stuckever since.

 
In 1936 Egmont Arens was a famous industrial designer and was employed byKitchenAid to design three new stand mixers. Dishwashers were added totheir product line in 1946. These new dishwashers were unique in that theyhave pressurized water systems.
 
KitchenAid entered the cooking appliances arena by purchasing the ChambersRogers Company in 1955. Different colors of mixers were added at that timeto the KitchenAid stand mixer offerings including Petal Pink, Sunny Yellow,Island Green, Stain Chrome and Antique Copper.
 
In 1986 two big events took place in the KitchenAid Corporation. The firstincluded the company being purchased by the Whirlpool Corporation. It isthe largest appliance manufacturer in the world today. They also addedrefrigerators to their product line. This addition completed their suiteof large kitchen appliances for their customers.
 
In 1992 they added KitchenAid blenders as a small appliance. They come ina large variety of colors to match any kitchen décor. Over the years they gave the name“Superba” to their dishwashers, ovens and refrigerators. Today they only use the Superba name with theirdishwashers. It is possible to still find a Superba refrigerator orSuperba oven as a used appliance today. Parts are available and repairmenare still working who know how to repair these appliances.
 
The KitchenAid Superba name has been replaced by the Architect Series II.This line features seamless surfaces and beveled edges on all of theappliances its name is attached to. Architect Series II has products suchas slow cook warming drawers, induction cooktops and a full size oven withdual fan convection and steam assist technology. This oven is the only oneof its kind in the world today.

If you are thinking of purchasing a KitchenAidSuperba appliance it would be wise to check Consumer Reports or any of themany online forums for user satisfaction and product reliability.
