Choosing an Appliance Brand
Popular Name Brands vs Unfamiliar Brands Make your choice at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center When it's time to shop for appliances, choosing the right brand is an important part of the decision process. In spite of what you may have heard, they're not all made by just a few manufacturers. To sort this out let's first discuss the big brand names. GE, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire are the big 3. These are mega companies, home to a host of other name brands as listed below: General Electric Hotpoint GE GE Profile GE Cafe GE Monogram Whirlpool Amana Whirlpool Maytag KitchenAid Jenn-Air Frigidaire Frigidaire Electrolux (Parent company) Electrolux Icon At the luxury end of the market some of the big names include Wolf SubZero, Viking, Thermador, and Miele. While all the brands referred to above are well-known and well-positioned in their market segments, there are other lesser-known brands that deserve consideration as well.

New Home Appliance Surprises
What to expect from your new appliances If you're buying new appliances for the first time in the last ten years or more, there is much you need to know about today's appliances that may be different from your old appliances. Appliances are more energy efficient than ever before. Energy standards continue to ratchet down. Energy Star ratings require appliances to exceed federal energy guidelines by at least 20%. Appliances that use water, i.e. dishwashers and washing machines operate on much less water than before. Standards continue to evolve. Kitchens must have GFCI outlets, ranges require anti-tip devices, and phosphates have been removed from dishwasher detergents. Not only have new laws and standards influenced the design of appliances, consumer expectations have ramped up, and savvy buyers want more for their hard earned dollars. In addition, advanced technology gives manufacturers new capabilities. As a result of new constraints and requirements, buyers need to be aware of what appliance manufacturers have done to address these challenges. Refrigerators Most of today's refrigerators use about the same electricity as a lightbulb. One way this is done is to use smaller compressors that run on far less electricity. They keep temperatures steady by running most or all of the time, even though they draw very little electricity. So if you think that your new refrigerator is running too frequently, it may well be that it is operating the way it was designed. Ranges Grandma's stove had massive cast iron burners and weighed hundreds of pounds. -

Customers Write (18) Justin highly recommends Universal Appliance and KItchen Center Justin C. Woodland Hills, CA When I used to live in Studio City I've seen Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center showroom a few times, but never shopped there. Recently we bought a house in Woodland Hills and needed appliances and all kind of plumbing fixtures. I decided to give them a call to see if they carry what I was looking for. They asked to e-mail them the list of products, since I needed everything, and provided me with the quote same day. I compared prices online and to my great surprise, Universal's quote was inline or some items were even cheaper. Universal delivered all of my products for free. Additionally, I would like to compliment Sales People for quick response and suggestions in choosing right colors, and their installers. They did an amazing job in modifying my kitchen cabinets. I didn't have even one problem with my purchase and I highly recommend Universal Appliance And Kitchen Center for kitchen and bath products.

Customers Write (17) After shopping around, John A. found Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. John A. Santa Monica, CA I can honestly say that my overall experience with Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center was very pleasant. Prior to purchasing a washer and dryer for my laundry room I visited several different stores. My last stop was Universal. First of all their store looks great and has a great variety of brands in a very wide price range. The atmosphere at their showroom is friendly and has a kind of homey feel to it. The sales person knew the products very well and helped me make the best choice possible for the most durable washer and dryer. I live in Santa Monica by the ocean and unfortunately everything getting rusted within a few years. I didn't get my products right away, they had to be ordered from the manufacturer, but I received everything and had it installed few days later, which I think is very fair and standard. I enjoyed my shopping experience with Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center and I am recommending them to everyone. Call or visit today.
