Most appliances are purchased as replacements. That usually means that there is an old dishwasher or refrigerator that is creaking and groaning or has already quit creaking and groaning and has given up entirely. Should you wait until this happens and max out your Mastercard at the least convenient time, or is there a better way?

Here's an idea. How old are your appliances? If your dishwasher is nearing 10 years old and your refrigerator is a few years older than that, they're getting darn close to the end of their useful age. Rather than wait for their impending death, why not take advantage of opportunities to save money? There's a Memorial Day Sale going on right now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC). It's true that there a few Holidays each year that are opportune times to buy appliances.

Make your choice at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center

When it's time to shop for appliances, choosing the right brand is an important part of the decision process. In spite of what you may have heard, they're not all made by just a few manufacturers. To sort this out let's first discuss the big brand names. GE, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire are the big 3. These are mega companies, home to a host of other name brands as listed below:

General Electric

• Hotpoint
• GE
• GE Profile
• GE Cafe
• GE Monogram

Whirlpool

• Amana
• Whirlpool
• Maytag
• KitchenAid
• Jenn-Air

Frigidaire

• Frigidaire
• Electrolux (Parent company)
• Electrolux Icon

At the luxury end of the market some of the big names include Wolf SubZero, Viking, Thermador, and Miele. While all the brands referred to above are well-known and well-positioned in their market segments, there are other lesser-known brands that deserve consideration as well. Here are just 2 examples:

1. BlueStar

BlueStar is a brand of high-end cooking products – ranges, oven, and cooktops. The brand is focused on serving the consumer that wants restaurant style appliances for the home. A unique capability of BlueStar is the ability to customize your range. Over 190 colors are available and burners may be configured to your liking. Even though BlueStar is not a household name, their factory in Reading, PA. has been building stoves since 1880.

2. Speed Queen

Speed Queen is a laundry company headquartered in Ripon, Wisconsin. They are a leading manufacturer of washers and dryers in the coin laundry/laundromat industry. Laundry equipment is the only thing Speed Queen makes, and they provide an exclusive three year warranty on their washers and dryers made for your home. Like BlueStar, they may not be a well-known name to consumers, but they've been making washers in Ripon, Wisc. since 1908.

Certainly, it can get confusing when comparing the big name brands to the specialty manufacturers. A good idea would be to seek the advice of appliance specialists such as those at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center.

People often ask, “Is there a season or time of year when appliance prices are the lowest?” Regardless of when they ask this question, there is an answer that is always right:

“To get the lowest prices on appliances the best time to buy is now.”

Here's why. Regardless of sale events, which are also good times to buy appliances, the best prices on appliances are now because of the general increase in manufacturing costs. Consider the fact that the major component of appliances is steel, and steel prices have been rising since WWII with few if any interruptions (even during recessions). Factories have wrung all the cost savings out of manufacturing that are likely to be had for a long time to come, and productivity is at an all time high. This means that prices are likely to increase even in times of low inflation such as now because the demand for steel is not lessening.

Looking specifically at the US appliance market going into 2013, most manufacturers are likely to have price increases in early 2013. Promotions such as rebates and cash backs will continue, but appliance firms will look for ways to reduce the amounts and time lengths of their promotional offerings.

It's a safe bet that if you take advantage of a purchase opportunity now you'll be glad you acted sooner rather than later. Here's an example of an opportunity to save up to $2500 on a Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchen. Until recently, rebates from Wolf Sub-Zero were unheard of. It's anybody's guess if this promotion will be extended or what the terms are likely to be in the future. Nearly all of the rebates currently available in the appliance industry are going to expire either on 12/31/2012 or early 2013.

The vast majority of cooktops sold in the U.S. are either 30″ or 36″ in width. However, there has been a very good market over the years for cooktops ranging from 42″ – 48″, with a 45″ width being the most common size in this X-Large cooktop category.

In an effort to reduce their model lineups, some manufacturers have discontinued 45″ cooktops. This has created a problem for consumers needing to replace their old 45″ cooktop since there is now a very limited selection of cooktops that will fit the hole left when the old cooktop is removed. Here are some suggestions and workarounds if you find yourself in this situation.

Viking RDECU2566BSB

Dacor SMG466

The Viking Range Company does still make a 45″ wide electric cooktop model RDECU2566BSB. Dacor makes a 46″ wide gas cooktop model SGM466, and Miele makes 42 1/2″ wide cooktops in both gas and electric. While these options may or may not provide the perfect fit for your existing cooktop there are some workarounds for you to consider. If you are replacing a 45″ wide cooktop with a 46″ wide cooktop, you may be able to just cut the existing whole a bit wider to accommodate the larger unit. On the other hand, if the replacement cooktop is not quite wide enough to fill the hole, there are companies that make filler kits such as Micro-trim. Also, It might be feasible to just replace the entire countertop. That way you can cut the opening to fit a new cooktop.

Some of these 45″ cooktops were installed in islands and peninsulas and have downdraft ventilation systems. Jenn-Air still makes 45″ downdraft cooktops in both electric and gas.

Jenn-Air JED8345ADB

The electric model JED8345ADB comes with a grill in the left bay, and two open bays that will accept 2 element radiant or coil cartridges, as well as a griddle that will fit over the grill element. The grill may also be removed and replaced with a coil or radiant cartridge to provide a total of 6 electric cooking elements.

Jenn-Air JGD8345ADB

The gas model JGD8345ADB comes complete with a gas grill in the left bay, and fixed gas cartridges in each of the two right bays. The grill is removable and can be replaced with an additional gas cartridge giving the homeowner a total of 6 gas burners. The Jenn-Air center downdraft eliminates the need for an expensive rear downdraft or island hood, and provides effective, economical, and unobtrusive ventilation. This is a great solution if you are replacing a Jenn-Air or other downdraft vented cooktop. If you have a traditional overhead vent system, you would need to reconfigure your ducting and remove the overhead system.

Wolf Cooktops and Modules

Finally, another interesting possibility for replacing a 45″ cooktop would be to combine 3 – 15″ cooking modules or a 30″ cooktop and 1 – 15″ cooking module. Wolf has a good selection of modules and also has trim pieces to make them fit together.

If this all sounds a bit complicated and confusing…well, it can be. It's a good idea to get some expert advice. First, measure your existing cooktop outside dimensions. If you have the old installation instructions with the model number and cutout dimensions that would be helpful also. Then call or visit the experts at UAKC, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. They'll be able to recommend the best solutions for your specific situation.
