New Years Appliance Resolutions
Planning Your New Appliance Purchases Considerations for Buying New Appliances Here's a New Year Resolution list for planning your appliance purchases in 2014: Take inventory of your potential appliance needs by determining the age and condition of your existing appliances. If your washing machine is 12 years old, and has been making funny noises, you should anticipate that you'll be needing a new washer sooner rather than later. Budget for appliance replacement. Begin setting aside money to replace that clunky old washing machine. Even if you can fund part of the purchase from this appliance reserve fund, it might mean the difference between getting a "bare bones" product versus the one you really want and need. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) carries most major brands and models. For example, you can select a new washer from among great brand names such as Frigidaire, GE, LG, Maytag, and Whirlpool. Some appliances get replaced before they have failed, such as in a new kitchen remodel project. Here too, you can do some advance planning. If you're working with a design firm, they can help you get started. The professionals at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) are always there to answer your questions and guide you through the process. Appliances are a big part of a kitchen remodel. Don't blow your budget on granite countertops and fancy cabinets only to find out you can't afford the appliances you've always dreamed of. Allow sufficient upfront order and delivery time for special orders. -

Appliances and Plumbing Fixtures in 2014
More Great Appliance and Plumbing Values in 2014 Best Selection and Prices at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center What can customers expect in appliances and plumbing fixtures in 2014? The industry will continue to feature products which represent tremendous values for consumers. If you look at the price of a refrigerator thirty years ago, you'd find that a really good price on a side-by-side refrigerator with ice and water dispenser would be between $1300 and $1500. Today, you can get a side-by-side refrigerator with dispenser for around $1000, AND it will cost much less to operate than ever before! Think about that. Consider the cost of a new car thirty years ago and compare it with the cost of a new car today. The cost of cars has increased many times over! While luxury appliances can be very expensive, the range of prices and selections in appliances has never been wider. At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC), customers can select from the finest appliances the industry has to offer, but they can also find major brand appliances to fit any budget. Popular priced mass appliance brands such as Frigidaire, GE, Amana, and Whirlpool are regularly featured at UAKC sale prices.

GE Slate or Frigidaire SmudgeProof™ Appliances
Solutions for Cleaning Stainless Steel Appliances UAKC has new appliances that don't smudge If you search the internet, it's unbelievable the amount of content and debate about cleaning issues with stainless steel appliances. There are some really bizarre cleaning recommendations too! The truth is that although stainless steel IS stainless - meaning that it doesn't rust - stainless steel does smudge and show fingerprints. The good news is that those smudges and fingerprints can be easily removed if you follow these 3 rules:Always clean in the direction of the grain. Nearly all the true stainless steel used in appliances is a #4 Brush stainless. It has a visible grain. You must wipe the surface in the direction of the grain - not against it. Use long smooth strokes. You'll hear about all sorts of miracle cleaners including olive oil, baby oil, furniture polish, etc. Try a simple household window cleaner. It won't put an oily coating on your stainless steel surfaces. Clean the entire surface. Stainless looks best when the entire surface is cleaned. Cleaning just one area doesn't seem to work. It shows. If you really hate the thought of cleaning stainless steel, maybe a finish such as the new Slate finish from GE is for you. It's a classy looking grey finish.

Choosing an Appliance Brand
Get the Appliance Brand that Fits UAKC Has Great Selection and Low Prices If you are building a home or remodeling, you'll need to think about selecting the appliance brand that best suits your needs. Just like clothing or automobiles, appliance brands make a "statement" and the brand you select should be a good fit for the house you are building or the kitchen you are remodeling. At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center, (UAKC) the sales associates will help you select the appliances that are the right "fit" for you. Appliance brands can be categorized along dimensions such as price, lifestyle or even generational such as millenial, Gen X or Y, boomer, etc. To make it easy we combine and simplify along mass brands, premium, super premium, and luxury brands. Think of mass brands as including Frigidaire, GE, Maytag, and Whirlpool. Premium brands would include Bosch, GE Profile, GE Cafe, and KitchenAid. Among the super premium brands are Electrolux, Jenn-Air, and Thermador. Luxury brands include GE Monogram, Wolf Sub Zero, Gaggenau, Miele, and Viking. These are broad categories are there are no hard rules here so some appliance professionals will argue for example that Thermador could be included in the luxury category, and that Maytag laundry should be considered a premium brand. But you get the idea. These are ALL good respectable brands, but they are positioned by their companies with pricing and features to fit in certain niches. The reason it's important for consumers to have a general idea
