KitchenAid is an American home appliance brand owned by Whirlpool Corporation.

The company was started in 1919 by The Hobart Corporation to produce stand mixers; the "H-5" was the first model introduced.

The company faced stiff competition as rivals moved into this emerging market, and introduced its trademarked silhouette in the 1930s with the model "K", the work of designer Egmont Arens.

The brand's stand mixers have changed little in design since, and attachments from the model "K" onwards are compatible with the modern machines.

Dishwashers were the second product line to be introduced, in 1949.

A late 1980s promotional campaign on the back of an expansion by retailer Williams-Sonoma saw brand awareness double in three years.

A humidifier is a device that increases humidity (moisture) in a single room or an entire building.

In the home, point-of-use humidifiers are commonly used to humidify a single room, while whole-house or furnace humidifiers, which connect to a home's HVAC system, provide humidity to the entire house.

Medical ventilators often include humidifiers for increased patient comfort.

Large humidifiers are used in commercial, institutional, or industrial contexts, often as part of a larger HVAC system.Low humidity may occur in hot, dry desert climates, or indoors in artificially heated spaces.

In winter, especially when cold outside air is heated indoors, the humidity may drop as low as 10-20%.

This low humidity can cause adverse health effects, by drying out mucous membranes such as the lining of the nose and throat, and can cause respiratory distress.

The low humidity also can affect wooden furniture, causing shrinkage and loose joints or cracking of pieces.

Books, papers, and artworks may shrink or warp and become brittle in very low humidity.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water.

In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, a colligative property, that is driven by chemical potential differences of the solvent, a thermodynamic parameter.

Reverse osmosis can remove many types of dissolved and suspended species from water, including bacteria, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water.

The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side.

To be "selective", this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as solvent molecules) to pass freely.

The Maytag Corporation is an American home and commercial appliance brand owned by Whirlpool Corporation after the April 2006 acquisition of Maytag.

Frigidaire is the American consumer and commercial home appliances brand subsidiary of European parent company Electrolux.

Frigidaire was founded as the Guardian Frigerator Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed the first self-contained refrigerator (invented by Nathaniel B.

Wales and Alfred Mellowes) in 1916.

In 1918, William C.

Durant, a founder of General Motors, personally invested in the company and in 1919, it adopted the name Frigidaire.

The brand was so well known in the refrigeration field in the early-to-mid-1900s that many Americans called any refrigerator (of whatever brand) a Frigidaire.

The name Frigidaire or its antecedent Frigerator may be the origin of the widely used English word fridge, although more likely simply an abbreviation of refrigerator which is a word known to have been used as early as 1611.
