Read the box/ packaging.

Or, look for the AMERICAN flag!

Oh, oh, oh... say can you see... is it made in this country?

Would you rather buy an American-made junk appliance or a high-quality foreign-made appliance?

Junk?

It's American.

Not made in China...

I would prefer made in Utah, by old-world Mormon Craftsmen, with a realistic "glowing" fire in the electric hearth, with all fractional fasteners.

None of that Metrical stuff!

If someone says country of origin is the most important factor in choosing a product, I'm curious if quality enters the equation. It's a perfectly reasonable question.

Those ain't Mormons...they're Amish. Didn't you see their suspenders and beards, rather than white button-up short-sleeve shirts with black neckties? :)

Ope!

You're right...

My mistake.

The Amish are better craftsmen, anyways.

I buy "Made in America" whenever I can.  And yes I do take quality into account.  I like to keep my neighbor employed and competitive as I hope he/she might like to keep me employed and competitive.  And I do not care if the "makers" were born in America or not, or speak English or not.

Is there a listing anywhere of the manufacturers of the Kenmore products by number? E.g., 665 is a whirlpool made appliance.  Is there a link to all of them? thanks.

The Applica toaster is from the Black & Decker Spacemaker line.  At www.BlackandDeckerAppliances you'll find a link to the Use/Installation Manual: the back cover indicates it's made in the People's Republic of China.

MY question is how big is it?!  Photos show it bigger than the "B&D" labeled over w/ mechanical knobs, but photos can't be trusted.  Nothing I've found gives dimensions for either oven. Feel that electronic controls may be safer and more dependable, but don't want to sacrifice all the "spacesavings" aspects!!

Big?

I thought everything had to be all compactical and tiny now, like the iPod thingies...

You didn't read very closely!  My concern was that it may well be TOO BIG. In fact, after another 2 hrs searching the web, I found (on 2 separate store sites) dimensions for the  mechanical-knobbed version = 18L x 10w x 11h, and the electronic-control version = 19.5L x 12.8w x 15.5h.

By the time you put 15.5 inches hanging under a cabinet, you have barely 4 inches between the toaster and countertop... so why bother?  Guess I'll "go" mechanical after all.

Say, Adam... why'n'hell are you on this blog site nearly 7000 times?  Get a life, guy!

Google for "kenmore oem codes" and you'll find the information you seek.

Will there be a higher "circle" named?

Dude, get away from the keyboard and explore life more than 10 feet away from your computer. There's a whole other world awaiting you.

if its made in china its junk. period.  I really did good this weekend. i bought 800 dollors in tools. the only one i could find were kolbolt. they had the usa flag on them . since i was there i spent another 500 hundred on a new tool box. that was made in china. i was kinda mad . i use to be loyal to craftsman but when they put my peaple out of work that was the last straw.  i still buy craftsman but not everything anymore. they must not need my buss. my friends are all doing the same thing.
