Coming Soon - New Professional Style Appliances
Surprising New Pro-Look Appliances from Frigidaire See them Soon at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center One big surprise at the 2015 Design and Construction Week (KBIS/IBS) was the "pre-launch" of a new line of professional style appliances by Electrolux's Frigidaire brand. The look is definitely "pro-style". It's much more than we've seen in previous attempts at professional looking appliances by entry level mass brands. From a design perspective, we're predicting that this is going to be a home run. The industry could really use some attractive professional looking appliances in the mass brand categories. However, as always, consumers are the ones who make any new product launch a failure or a success. Pricing and features are key as Electrolux will need to keep the Frigidaire brand properly aligned with the other brands in their portfolio. Ranges debut first with retails from $1599 to $2699. The new Frigidaire Professional dishwasher is slated for a $1099 retail price, and has a 30 minute quick wash cycle. The Frigidaire Professional French-door refrigerator has all the sex appeal you'd expect in a free-standing pro-look model including the bulky tubular stainless handles you might find on a big built-in pro refrigerator, at a fraction of the price. The retail on this refrigerator will range from $3199 to $3499. All this means that you could outfit a kitchen with new Frigidaire Professional appliances (range, dishwasher, and refrigerator) for a bit less than $6K, or as much as $7.3K. As a nice bonus, all these appliances will -

Building a Wet Bar
Here's some help with your new wet barFrom Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Think of what you need for a wet bar. You need a bar area. That implies cabinets with storage for glasses and bar supplies. And if you want it to be "wet" it needs a working faucet and sink. Depending on your habits, you'll probably want a beverage center and/or a wine cooler of some kind. It's also possible you'll want to substitute or add a beer cooler. Finally, many wet bars include built-in icemakers.Here are some bar examples and some of the options that Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center can provide. The below "wet" bar is not a wet bar at all since it has no sink. It's entirely possible there is no water connection at all, but it does have a wine unit, and appears to have separate beverage storage also. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has a large selection of both wine coolers and beverage centers from entry-level up to luxury units. Though we can't see all of the above wet bar, it clearly has a bar sink and faucet. It also looks as if it has a built-in dishwasher on the right with a cabinet panel, another nice touch for a wet bar if there is room.The wet bar below fits in a compact space, but is well equipped with wet bar sink and faucet in the center, a Viking icemaker on the left and a Viking wine unit on the right.

Dorm Room Appliances
Back to School Appliances Appliances that fit in a Dorm Room at UAKC If you've sent your son or daughter off to college and are wondering how they're doing, you might check to see if they have a fridge and microwave for those late night snacks when they're up studying. Most college dorms don't allow any type of appliance with heating coils such as a toaster or hotplate, so they'll have to stick with a microwave for cooking anything. The Whirlpool model below might work well since it's designed to fit in a corner. For a refrigerator, the Danby can easily fit under a countertop. It's perfect for beverages and fruit (or candy bars), but doesn't have a freezer. That could be a good thing as it shouldn't need defrosting. For other choices, check with the folks at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC). Danby 2.50cu.ft Compact All Refrigerator DAR259BL All Refrigerator, Auto Cycle Defrost, Energy Star®, 2 1/2 Adjustable Wire Shelves, CanStor® Beverage Dispenser Click below for more information: Danby Compact Refrigerator Whirlpool Microwave Model No: WMC20005YD Quickly set this Whirlpool® countertop microwave to cook for 30 seconds at 100% power with the Add 30 Seconds option. You can also press it to add 30 seconds to a manual setting that is already in progress. With 0.5 cu. ft. capacity, there's enough room for a dinner plate without taking up valuable counter space. Plus, the controllock feature helps you avoid unintended use or other changes to your cooking settings -

Checking Appliance Dimensions
Getting Appliances that Fit Your Space Measure Twice - Install Once When buying new appliances it's a good idea to double check dimensions and openings. Width, height, and depth are just the beginning. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) can help you get appliances that fit in your space. Here are a few tips to get started: Refrigerators In the case of a refrigerator, consider also how much clearance you will need for air circulation. Will the doors open fully without banging into a wall or cabinet? Even if the refrigerator door will open 90 degrees with an adjacent wall, make certain the refrigerator door swings out wide enough to enable you to open the crisper drawers. Some 72" tall counter depth refrigerators could have a clearance issue with upper cabinets. Not only does the refrigerator case need to slide in the space, but the hinges need to clear if the upper cabinets extend forward to the front of the refrigerator Dishwashers In tight spaces, avoid putting dishwashers with handles near a corner. You'll quickly find that adjacent cabinet drawers cannot open because they are blocked by the dishwasher handle. The same problem could occur with other appliances so make sure that there is sufficient clearance when appliance doors and cabinet doors open into each. Cooking Appliances Ranges and cooktops should not be placed at the end of a cabinet run. Placing cooking surfaces against an adjacent wall is a fire hazard. A wall oven next to a refrigerator -
