Magic Chef has a long and venerable name in the appliance business. The company has gone through several changes of ownership over the years and lost some divisions, but the brand itself is still popular. The label can be found on kitchen appliances from small coolers to large refrigerators and stand-alone freezers.
The Magic Chef company began in 1881 in St. Louis, Missouri. Later, the company bought Norge and Admiral appliance manufacturers. Maytag bought out Magic Chef in 1986, but the brand is now distributed by mcappliance.com.
