520 years ago Columbus landed on the shores of America. Today we celebrate Columbus Day as a Federal holiday on the second Monday of each October. The earliest recorded remembrance of Columbus' “discovery” of the New World was in 1792 on the 300th anniversary of his journey. However, the first celebration of Columbus Day was organized in 1866 by Italian residents of New York City. It wasn't until 1937 that President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared all October 12th's as Columbus Day, but in 1971 it was declared by Congress that the second Monday in October be recognized as a national holiday.

So Monday October 8th, 2012 is Columbus Day, and it is only fitting that Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center UAKC would have some special offers to help celebrate the Holiday. Join the celebration and save now on these great deals.

This price on a deluxe Stainless Steel KitchenAid dishwasher can't be beat. It's a $350 savings off the regular price! And the Giant 28 cu. ft. Electrolux French Door Refrigerator has a price so low, we can't advertise it here.

Now that there are two great locations to visit, you'll find it twice as easy to save money at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. Here are a few more examples of some of the savings during their Columbus Day Sale.

While lots of guys might be particularly fond of this great deal, nearly half off, on a Viking Gas Grill, it is very hard to beat an $800 savings on a deluxe front loading washer and gas dryer pair. Something for everyone!!

If closeouts are your thing, UAKC has what is probably the largest appliance clearance center around. Here are some really special closeouts buys on Jenn-Air. You won't find Jenn-Air deals like this anywhere but Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center.

Sub-Zero Overlay FD Refrigerators

French Door Refrigerators have become very popular over the last decade. However, there hasn't been much selection of French Door Refrigerators in the built-in category. Not until now, that is. The leading manufacturer of built-in refrigerators, Sub-Zero, has introduced a 36” French door refrigerator/freezer, the latest addition to their line of built-in refrigeration. The French-door style is popular for its looks and appreciated for its functional benefits. Open either of the two, 18”-wide doors independently, or open them together for full access to the refrigerator’s interior even in narrower spaces.

Like all Sub-Zero built-in models, it maintains strict standards for reliability and performance, and is available in timeless stainless steel or ready to be fitted with a custom panel overlay.

Fresh foods need chilly, humid air to stay fresh. Frozen foods require frigid, dry air to preserve flavor. Yet the typical refrigerator-freezer compromises, using a single compressor that lets air circulate between the two sides. Not with Sub-Zero. They don’t compromise food’s freshness and flavor. Their built-in has dual refrigeration — separate, sealed systems for refrigerator and freezer that ensure optimum preservation conditions for each type of food.

Digital controls keep the temperature within 1°F of where you set it. Doors seal magnetically on all four sides, locking in cold air and saving energy. There’s even a “fridge within a fridge,” a lower-temperature, higher-humidity zone that keeps vegetables crisp and flavorful even longer.

To help you make the most of all this innovative food preservation technology, freshness cards inside the refrigerator show you the optimum storage temperature for each type of food. They even tell you which foods not to refrigerate

What is a French Door Refrigerator?

There are four basic refrigerator/freezer categories. They are:

1. Top-mount. This unit has the freezer on the top and a refrigerator below the freezer compartment. Doors are hinged to side swing from either the right or left.
2. Bottom-mount. Bottom-mounts or bottom freezer configurations have the refrigerator on the top and a freezer below. The refrigerator door is hinged like the top mount, but the freezer may be either a side swing or a slide-out drawer.
3. Side-by-Side. Side-by-Side refrigerators are a very popular configuration that have the freezer compartment on the left and the refrigerator compartment on the right. The doors are hinged on either side.
4. French Door. These are bottom freezer refrigerators with a split-door in the refrigerator compartment that allows the refrigerator to be opened from the center. They have become increasingly popular in recent years.

History of French Door refrigerators

Some industry veterans may recall the short-lived appearance of a French Door model refrigerator from Whirlpool back in the '80s. It did not take with consumers, and was soon dropped.

The Amana brand is well-known for its refrigeration and has been a leader in bottom freezer refrigerators for many years. In the late '90s Amana launched the first successful French Door refrigerators. Amana was acquired by Maytag in 2000, and shortly thereafter Maytag's premier Jenn-Air brand introduced a counter-depth French Door model which was a big hit. Soon all the major U.S. manufacturers had French Door refrigerator models. Not surprisingly, the Korean brands were quick to chime in with their own copies.

Today, French Door refrigerators are available in nearly every conceivable configuration including dispenser and non-dispenser versions, built-in models, and others with a variety of doors and drawers, and with capacities over 30 cu.ft.

GE has opened a new facility in Louisville for French Door refrigerators and launched a new series of models with new features coming from this factory. There are now 3 factories in the U.S. manufacturing French Door models: The GE plant, Whirlpool's factory in Amana, Iowa and a new line of refrigerators from SubZero built in Arizona.

Dual Evaporator models. Several manufacturers have added dual evaporator systems to their line. Essentially, this provides consumers with separate airflow to the refrigerator and freezer, enhancing food preservation. Sub Zero has dual compressors as well.

Extra drawers. Maytag has added an extra refrigerator pantry drawer which provides a convenient pull out drawer for quick access. KitchenAid also has a French Door model with a pull out refrigerator drawer.

42″ Built-In. Jenn-Air has a 42″ built-in French Door refrigerator that can accomodate cabinet panels for a fully flush and fully integrated appearance. The unit can literally disapper as it looks just like the surrounding cabinets. This is the largest built-in French Door model in the industry.

Choosing a built-in refrigerator can be a daunting task. Not only is it a major investment, but there are many considerations and options. Simply categorizing and listing the choices may be of some help so let's break it down.

First, what is a built-in refrigerator? It's a category of refrigerator designed to fit in an enclosure as a permanent part of the kitchen flush or nearly flush with surrounding kitchen cabinetry. We should distinguish between built-in refrigerators and counter-depth refrigerators. Built-in refrigerators are designed to be…well…built-in and attached to adjacent cabinets. Counter-depth refrigerators are versions of free-standing refrigerators, but with shallow depths. Their shallow depths allow them to roll in to a standard refrigerator cut out and fit nicely, only sticking out a few inches from a standard 24″ depth cabinet, but of course, they are not built-ins.

In the past, built-in units have typically been 84″ tall with compressors mounted on the top. Some European brands of built-ins now have compressors in the bottom, but are still taller than free-standing or counter depth refrigerators and are fully-flush with surrounding cabinets.

Built-in refrigerators are available in widths ranging from 27″ wide to 48″ wide. Many built-ins have depths that are 24 – 25″ so that they can be installed to fit flush with surrounding cabinetry.

Built-in refrigerators are available in side-by-side, bottom-freezer, french door, all refrigerator, and all freezer configurations.

Side-by-side built-in refrigerators are the most common configuration of built-in refrigerators. With a 48″ wide side-by-side, the combined refrigerator/freezer capacity is nearly 30 cu.ft. Choices include custom panels or stainless steel, and non-dispenser or dispenser models.

Bottom-freezer models up to 36″ wide have glide-out freeezer bins on the bottom and refrigerators on the top. They are purchased with either right hand or left hand door openings.

French-door refrigerators have become a very popular choice in free-standing refrigerators, so built-in refrigerators are now becoming availalbe in a variety of sizes and brands. KitchenAid and Jenn-Air have the largest, 42″ versions of French Door models.

All refrigerator and all freezer models can be purchased in the top compressor variety, or in the new “columns” available from some European manufacturers. They are often bought in pairs with one having a left door swing and the other a right door swing. Placed next to each other, customers can have as much as a 72″ wide refrigerator-freezer combination.

Some built-in refrigerators are available with external ice and water dispensers. Sub-Zero has recently introduced a model with an internal ice and water dispenser. Since built-in refrigerators are built to fit with surrounding cabinetry many models are built to accept cabinet panels. With a fully flush, fully integrated installation these units become indistinguishable from the surrounding cabinetry and sometimes not even identifiable as refrigerators.

Here are the major brand names available in built-in refrigerators:

• Sub-Zero
• Monogram
• Viking
• KitchenAid
• Jenn-Air
• Electrolux
• Icon
• Dacor
• Bosch
• Thermador
• Gaggenau
• Miele
• Liebherr

Sub-Zero is a pioneer in built-in refrigerators. They're famous for their two compressor system. The Pro 48 below is one of the most distinctive built-in refrigerators on the market.

Jenn-Air's non-dispenser models accept custom door panels that can be attached to provide a fully-flush, fully integrated installation. A Jenn-Air built-in refrigerator has been rated #1 in the leading consumer reporting magazine for three years in a row.

The French Door Refrigerator is a Refrigerator/Freezer with the freezer on the bottom and split refrigerator doors on the top. Just about all the major manufacturers offer versions of the French Door Refrigerator. Some are standard depth, some are counter depth, and some are even built-in. Some French Door Refrigerators have water and/or ice dispensers either internal or external, and some offer multiple bottom (horizontal) drawers of freezer and pantry configurations.

GE has a new French Door Refrigerator manufacturing facility in Louisville, Kentucky where it is producing a state-of-the-art line of French Door Refrigerators. Loaded with convenient features like a hands-free dispenser, the new GE refrigerator(see pictures) also has innovative Twin-Chill evaporators to give separate cooling of refrigerator and freezer optimizing freshness and eliminating odor transfer.
