- Other appliance-seller stocks: LOW, HD
- Whirlpool (WHR), which makes appliances under the Whirlpool and Maytag brands, was also slammed, but the company also makes some appliances under the Kenmore brand.
Sears Holdings (SHLD) announced that it is selling Kenmore appliances via Amazon (AMZN), including Alexa-enabled smart appliances.
"This marks the broadest distribution of Kenmore, America's most trusted home appliance brand, outside of Sears branded stores and related online retail platforms," the company said in a statement.
Kenmore Smart connected room air conditioners integrated with Alexa are now available, with plans to expand the full product line onto Amazon. Kenmore, Sears Home Services and Innovel Solutions will provide delivery, installation, and other extended warranties.
The Sears-Amazon deal follows news late last month that athletic apparel giant Nike (NKE) would sell directly on Amazon's site.
