Talk:Kelvinator

Kelvinator is indeed known within the US. I have a Kelvinator chest freezer that dates to the 40's and it won't stop running.207.202.131.5 (talk) 16:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Unknown is a joke
Kelvinator is largely unknown in the US and UK? This is a joke right? ...like Edison is unknown in the USA! Somebody is using free Wikipedia web space to accredit and sell their books. This is a dastardly corrruption of what should be the evidence of honest self government in our society.

US and UK
I got rid of the statement about Kelvinator not being known in the US and UK. This is obviously not true. A quick google check will show you that Kelvinators are still sold in both countries. I don't know about the prevalence in the UK, but Kelvinators are pretty common in the American South, especially among older fridges. Kelvinator 04:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Please check the statement "Between 1939 and 1945, the complete manufacturing facilities of the factories' group was turned over to the manufacturing of military supplies." I do not think this is accurate for the USA, as no factories making consumer goods were turned over / commandeered by the government or military. Joncrisler (talk) 05:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Spinoff from American Motors
According to the American Motors article, Kelvinator was spun off from them in 1958, not 1968, as this article implies. Which is correct? -- azumanga (talk) 23:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Carrier?
The "Legacy" section says that Carrier sold Kelvinator in 2005. This is the first mention of Carrier. So when did Carrier acquire Kelvinator? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.239.3.13 (talk) 20:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
