Would you say your company is top of the range or middle? Sorry not sure about whirlpool

Well, I'm sure I'll sound biased, but I think we're at the top. Whirlpool makes low, middle, and high range appliances. Our Gold series is top notch in my opinion. I've fitted my house with our gold series appliances as well as a laundry set. I couldn't be happier. We're global as well, been doing it for over 100 years. Number 136 on the Fortune 500 as well. You could go with, say, GE or LG, but why would you want to buy from a company that doesn't just specialize in appliances? All our focus goes into appliances. You get what you pay for.
