The first whirlpool baths were invented during the year 1911. A group of home appliance professionals named Emory, Frederick and Louis Upton established the "Upton Machine Company". The Upton siblings started working on motor-driven washers and other materials for production of electrical baths. Frederick Upton ordered about 100 machines from The Federal Electric Company but his brother Louis instantaneously decided to replace the machines due to insufficient transmission of the machine gear. The "Sears, Robuck & Company" started selling the baths and other home machines produced by the Upton machine company through the "Allen" brand. The Upton company merged with the "Nineteen Hundred Washer Company" in New York City during the late 1920's. In 1929, the 1900 Washer Company was already named as "Nineteen Hundred Corporation" and began negotiating with affiliate companies in producing baths before World War I.

In 1949 up to early 1950's, the first automatic washer for bath and other basic home necessities were sold worldwide under the "Sears Sale" brand. In 1950, Nineteen Hundred Corporation was finally renamed as "Whirlpool Corporation".

The foundation aims to promote consumer values in purchasing and using whirlpool baths among western and some European countries as well. In 1955, the "Seeger Refrigerator Company" adapted the production of baths. The first group of baths was manufactured under the Seeger Company when Whirlpool Corporation was named as "Whirlpool-Seeger Corporation".
