Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center
Visit Our Showrooms Welcome to Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center If you've been looking for appliances, chances are you may have been disappointed. Maybe you went to one of those big box stores. You know, where the sales guys wear those orange or blue aprons. They're everywhere. I rely on them for light bulbs and gardening supplies. Plumbing fixtures and appliances? Not so much.

On the other hand, perhaps you've been to one of those boutique showrooms. You feel like you need to get dressed up to shop there.

New plumbing fixture finish from Dornbracht
Breaking news in finishes for plumbing fixtures. Available through Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center We've recently covered Dornbracht's stylish fixture collections in the fashion forward CYPRUM finish, but a color that has this much elegance deserves more attention. So we're showing the new CYPRUM finish below in some different looks, and adding some more detail about this elegant rose-gold sheen. You can find the best variety of Dornbracht plumbing fixtures at the lowest prices at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC).Dornbracht has recently launched this entirely new finish that lends more style to the already stylish Dornbracht line - CYPRUM. Available only in the TARA and TARA CLASSIC collections, and in the single lever mixer PIVOT, here's how Dornbracht describes the CYPRUM finish:CYPRUM is a high-gloss finish produced using 18-carat gold and copper and is now available for the first time for kitchen fixtures. The dominance of cool white and metallic tones is passé in kitchens and interiors and individual style is increasingly characterised by warm tones and earthy, natural materials. Copper in particular is defining quality aesthetics as a contemporary fine metal. Dornbracht is adding a new rose-gold sheen to its fitting icons TARA and TARA CLASSIC, as well as its single-lever 360° range-of-motion mixer PIVOT, which it introduced in 2013. The colour of the galvanized finish is synonymous with elegance and opulence - characteristics which provide kitchens and interiors with emotion and individuality. CYPRUM -

Faucets for your Kitchen and Bath
Brizo Technology FaucetsBeauty meets TechnologyAt Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center One look at the Brizo line of faucets and you know that beauty is their hallmark. But don't let the style fool you. It's more than just a pretty faucet. Brizo's technology is second to none. Just read what Brizo has to say about three important technological advantages they offer - Magnedock®, SmartTouch®, and DIAMOND™ Seal Technologies:Magnedock® TechnologyThe first technology of its kind available, MagneDock features a patented, state-of-the-art magnetic docking system. This system securely holds the spray wand in place when not in use. The durable magnets are made to last forever, while their polarity keeps the spray head perfectly aligned, for a clean, seamless look that maintains the faucet’s distinctive form.SmartTouch® TechnologyThe SmartTouch® Technology touch faucet does nothing less than change the way you interact with water. Simply touch anywhere on the faucet body or handle to turn on or off the water. When you tap the faucet ON, the LED light indicates SmartTouch is active. When you tap the faucet OFF, the light goes off. SmartTouch also works to conserve water by activating flow only when needed, while its flexible operation promotes safe food handling.DIAMOND™ Seal TechnologyOur DIAMOND™ Seal Technology uses a diamond-coated ceramic disc with an extremely smooth, hard and durable diamond coating that eliminates the need for lubricant. There’s nothing to wash away and no sticking—the faucet will operate as smoothly after 20 years as it did on Day One. -

Appliance Features
Get the right features on your new appliancesAvoid costly mistakes in selecting plumbing fixtures and appliances Customers sometimes ask for basic appliances with no bells and whistles. However, it's important to be specific. Here's an example: After purchasing a "basic" dryer from one of the big box home improvement stores, this customer wrote:...no alarm to tell you when it is finished, had nothing but wrinkled cloths from day one because of this. Why would anyone build a dryer without an alarm is beyond me, not like you can stand next to it until it is done so clothes don't wrinkle."The truth is that the difference between a $299 dishwasher and a $399 dishwasher is not just $100. There are likely to be very important features missing on the entry level model such as delay start, heavy wash, or a sani-cycle. The time to find out about the features or bells and whistles on your appliance is before you purchase. If you wait until after your gas range has been in the home and used for a couple of weeks before you discover that you do not have a low simmer setting, it's too late.Here are some basic tips on getting the right features on appliances: Avoid "loss leaders". There's nothing wrong with buying an appliance that is advertised at a good price, but when you see something that is priced way below the market price for a comparable appliance ask the sales associate for an explanation.
