Made in West: Kitchen Tools

Ask ChatGPT: are any small countertop kitchen appliances made in the western hemisphere?

Yes, some countertop kitchen appliances, including toaster ovens, are made in the Western Hemisphere, – BUT many are produced in Asia due to lower manufacturing costs.

Below are examples of companies that manufacture or assemble such appliances in the Americas:

Toaster Ovens

1. Breville

• Breville assembles some high-end countertop appliances in the USA or Mexico. Check the product’s specific model to confirm its origin.

2. Hamilton Beach

• While most Hamilton Beach products are made in China, some models are assembled in Mexico.

3. KitchenAid

• Known for its mixers, KitchenAid also produces small kitchen appliances. Some of their products are assembled in the USA, though it’s best to verify specific models.

Other Kitchen Appliances in the Americas

1. Vitamix

• High-performance blenders made in Cleveland, Ohio.

2. Blendtec

• Blenders made in Orem, Utah.

3. Cuisinart

• Some products are assembled in the USA or Mexico, depending on the model.

For a specific toaster oven, carefully check the manufacturer’s label or reach out to the brand to confirm manufacturing locations. Labels like “Made in the USA” indicate domestic production, while “Assembled in the USA” suggests components may be imported but assembled locally.
