Its matte look completely hides fingerprints. It holds magnets. It's available on over 50 products.

New Kitchen Appliance Trend
Get trending appliances at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterBuilt-In Coffee MakersThe booming business in built-in coffee makers has caught many industry experts by surprise. Built-in coffee makers have been around for quite a while, but there has been limited demand until recently. European luxury appliance brands such as Miele, Gaggenau, and Thermador have had built-in coffee makers for many years. But now, U.S. competitors in the luxury space such as Wolf have added coffee makers, and other super premium brands such as Jenn-Air and Bosch have also entered the space.While built-in coffee makers are hardly a necessity, customers are stretching their appliance budgets to acquire automatic coffee makers in many kitchen remodels, and new semi-custom and custom homes. There are a host of feature differences from one device to the next. Some models can be connected to plumbing while others have water tanks that require filling by hand. One built-in coffee maker even stores your whole coffee beans and grinds them on demand. Other options may include automatic cleaning features, one or two cups simultaneously, frothing features, cappuccino option, and more.It's a good idea to do your research, or consult the experts at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. -

Appliance Finishes and Colors
Are Stainless Steel Appliances on the way out?Don't bet against Stainless SteelEvery so often we hear some predictions that stainless steel is on the way out as an appliance finish. Is that like to happen soon? No. Stainless steel is going to be the top choice for appliance buyers for years to come. Here's how it stands today:New constructionProduction home builders usually offer a base appliance package in white or black with an upgrade to stainless steel. Upgrading to stainless steel appliances continues to be a very popular choice for new home buyers.Custom homesProfessional/Restaurant style appliances are a top choice for custom homes buyers. Several of the top brands in this category only offer stainless steel, though some color selection is an option for Viking and Bertazzoni brands. (BlueStar, a pro-style line of cooking products has a very wide selection of colors.) In addition some elite luxury brands such as Le Cornue offer a selection of designer colors.Remodels and replacement salesCustomers who choose to replace their kitchen appliances from the popular entry level appliance brands, eg. GE, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire, available in white, black or stainless steel will almost always upgrade to stainless steel (except for basic apartment replacement sales). Though premium brands such as KitchenAid, GE Profile, or Bosch may be available in white and/or black, their sales skew heavily toward stainless steel. Kitchenaid has recently introduced a finish called black stainless steel that is getting a lot of attention.Whatever -

Small Appliances are Booming
Thinking Small (small appliances) at UAKCDeluxe 24" Appliances Now Available in SouCalUniversal Appliance and Kitchen Center has long been known for having the best selection of major appliances in all Southern California. That selection has been growing with all the new European sized 60cm. wide appliances that have been launched in the U.S. (60cm. is approximately 24 inches).For decades the standard size for U.S. ranges, cooktops, ovens, and hoods has been 30", and most single family homes today include 30" wide base and upper cabinets. However, for various reasons, there are large numbers of housing units in Southern California that have 24" wall and base cabinets that need 24" wide appliances. All the popular U.S. brand 30" wide ovens, ranges, and vent hoods won't fit in these cabinets, so only basic 24" apartment models have been available. That's all in the past, as new products are now available for 24" cabinets at a variety of price points and with a variety of features. For example, here is a new Bertazzoni stainless steel 24" wide gas range, a nice upgrade from a U.S. standard model. If you're looking for a full suite of built-in appliances in this category, you might start with Bosch, a European appliance manufacturer with a great reputation. Bosch is a premium brand, that has great quality, and at a price below the luxury category. Miele is also a European brand with a good selection of European size (60 cm) wide appliances. -

Navigating Through Appliance Rebates
UAKC Can Help You Save MoneySaving Money on Appliances with Rebates or FreebiesWhether it's just a basic washing machine or a full suite of luxury appliances, everybody wants to save money when buying major appliances. Here are some tips on how to save the most money when you purchase home appliances: Research appliance manufacturer offers. Do your homework. Find out what saving offers are out there. I just reviewed the Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center rebate page and discovered that there were nearly 50 separate manufacturer offers listed. Review them by clicking on this link:APPLIANCE REBATES Plan (group) your purchases. The more you buy, the more you save. This has never been more true than in the last few years as manufacturers have jumped on the package purchase bandwagon. Focus on a single brand if possible. Some customers prefer to follow a "best of breed" strategy. Looking for what they perceive to be the "best" refrigerator brand, then moving to the "best" cooking brand, "best" dishwasher brand, etc. While this seems to make sense on the surface, it's also a strategy to pay the most in each category, and lose any savings opportunity from making a single brand decision. Here are some of the savings opportunities available to you:Appliance Rebatesare the most common offer among appliance companies to encourage your purchase. They offer a dollar amount, usually in the form of a prepaid debit card, when a consumer purchases a specified number of the manufacturer's appliances. Free Appliance offerscan sometimes -

Speed Queen - an Old Brand that's New Again
A Legendary Brand ResurfacesCommercial Quality Washers and Dryers at UAKCSpeed Queen traces its origins to 1908 when Joe Barlow and John Seeling began tearing down hand operated washing machines with the idea of creating an automatic version. By 1911 they had added an electric motor to power the machine, and began selling automatic washers. By 1939 Speed Queen introduced a Stainless Steel tub, a feature that identified the brand, and is still used today.Speed Queen continued to grow both as a home brand and in commercial and coin-operated laundries. The company became part of McGraw-Edison, Raytheon, and eventually Alliance Laundry Systems. The largest commercial laundry company in the U.S., Alliance re-launced Speed Queen as a residential brand for home several years ago. It's built with their commercial quality, and includes many of Speed Queen's signature features including an industry-leading warranty. Here's what they have to say about their warranty and a run-down on a featured Speed Queen laundry pair.THE LONGEST LASTING WASHERS WITH A WARRANTY TO MATCHThe best top load washer on the market also comes with the best warranty.
