Ann Arbor, Mich. – Major appliances continue to earn kudos from consumers a new report shows, with Electrolux challenging Whirlpool for the top slot in customer satisfaction.
According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), an annual report compiling consumer evaluations of products and services, white goods have, since 1994, maintained a consistently high score of 80 to 82 on a scale of 0 to 100.
This year is no different, with majaps scoring an 81, ahead of personal computers (80) but behind TV/video (86).
The $18.6 million move will mark the majap maker's final exit from Evansville, which employed nearly 10,000 local workers at its peak in the early 1970s, the local Evansville Courier Press reported. The company moved its top-freezer refrigerator production from here to Mexico in 2010, and said at the time it would consider new locations for the R&D facility, which is located within the former fridge factory.
