From cooking a romantic dinner and doing the dishes every night to doing the laundry even when it’s not laundry day – there’s no question this kind of dependability around the house is sexy. There is no need to search high and low or download the latest dating app, this triple threat of power, dependability and hard work is why Maytag is 2019’s Sexiest Appliance Alive.
From musicians to television and film stars, PEOPLE releases its popular “Sexiest Man Alive” issue highlighting its picks for the most attractive, hardworking and impressive men every November. The Nov. 25 “Sexiest Man Alive” issue – hitting newsstands Friday, Nov. 15 – includes a two-page advertising spread featuring Maytag, announcing its Sexiest Appliance Alive campaign.
“We often hear from consumers who find the Maytag Man attractive,” said Allison Gillespie, Maytag senior brand manager. “Since the Man is the embodiment of a Maytag appliance, there’s no better way to highlight the brand’s most attractive quality – dependability – than with the Sexiest Appliance Alive campaign.”
As 2019’s Sexiest Appliance Alive, Maytag knows how to push the right buttons and, as the strong and silent type, believes actions speak louder than words. While Maytag may not whisper sweet nothings, owners can count on Maytag to chill in the kitchen, cook dinner and do the dishes. All that dependability comes with a 10-year limited parts warranty because Maytag is committed to delivering products that are built to stand the test of time.
“Nothing is sexier than a dependable partner in the home,” said Gillepsie. “For more than a century, we’ve seen how Maytag brand’s combination of dependability and desirability has increased its appeal, and we want to show that off in a fun way.”
