Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Ratings and Reviews (15)
Customers Write (15) Lindsey loves Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Lindsey S. Los Angeles, CA I have been a customer of Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center for several years now. I do live in the neighborhood, so convenience is a plus. But besides, Universal being close to my house I must say, that they have a great selection of products of various brands and a very wide range of prices. I did some shop around before I made my final purchases at Universal. Last time I shopped there they competed with two other quotes that I brought from other stores. Among the appliances that I have purchased from them over the period of a couple of years are a washer and dryer, refrigerator, hood, dishwasher, induction cooktop and an amazing Miele vacuum cleaner that I absolutely love and that I got for FREE as a part of a deal! All of my purchased appliances work excellent and I am thankful for the help of the sales people at Universal that helped me make my right choices. I enjoy shopping at this store. Call or visit today. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center is your headquarters for new appliances and plumbing fixtures.

Duct-Free Downdraft Solves Ventilation Problems
Powerful cooktops require effective ventilation. Today's cooktops offer more powerful gas burners and electric elements than ever before. As a result of all that power, it's important to have good ventilation. Few appliance manufacturers know more about ventilation than Jenn-Air. The founder of Jenn-Air, Louis Jenn, was a ventilation expert long before he entered the appliance business. Jenn-Air introduced the first self-ventilated cooktop in 1961, and recently has introduced an exclusive breakthrough duct-free downdraft. Jenn-Air's selection of JX3™ downdraft cooktops are the most powerful downdraft units in the industry - AND - they have the most powerful blower to efficiently remove all the smoke and steam directly from the cooking surface. But that's not all. Locating and installing ductwork for a ventilation system is often problematic. Not any more. Jenn-Air offers an accessory duct-free downdraft kit for its line of JX3™ electric and gas downdraft cooktops. There is no need to run ductwork outside so you can place your cooktop anywhere. You can easily install this cooktop and vent unit in an island over a concrete slab or in a high-rise apartment where there is no place to duct out. The exclusive *Jenn-Air JX3™ duct-free downdraft accessory kit attaches to the blower on the cooktop's downdraft unit, and has a unique **high airflow particulate air filter (HAPA) that captures smoke, steam, and grease thus eliminating the need for outside venting.The Jenn-Air JX3™ collection of cooktops consists of 6 different models. There is -

Replacing an odd size cooktop
Finding the right size cooktop 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.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 -

New Design Trend: Appliances where you need them
There's an old kitchen design principle called the work triangle. Refrigerator, range, and dishwasher make up a triangle and need to be located within a certain proximity of each other. But rules are made to be broken and there is a new trend in kitchen design that has appliances being located in new and sometimes unusual locations. For example, Sub Zero and other manufacturers now offer undercounter refrigerator and freezer drawers, beverage centers, ice makers, and wine cellars. Families can now use a small refrigerator in a refreshment area so the kids to get cold snacks when they come home from school. Freezers drawers in the pantry area can be used for long term food storage. The entertainment area can feature an ice-maker along with the wine cellar, and dish drawers next to the sink in the wet bar. Microwave drawers, warming drawers, built-in coffee makers, and duct-free downdraft cooktops also open up new location opportunities. The key is that design should be about how you want to live, and not follow outdated rules.

3 things you should know before buying a new glass ceramic cooktop.
Congratulations! Whether you're purchasing a new smoothtop range or a separate ceramic cooktop surface unit, you can expect many years of great cooking results. Here are 3 key facts that you should know. Glass ceramic cooktops are fast. Back in the '70s appliance manufacturers introduced smooth cooktops made by Corning. Corning cooktops were very thick and slow to heat. Aided by ribbon elements, today's ceramic glass cooktops can quickly reach and maintain high temperatures. Glass ceramic cooktops are easy to clean. As with any surface, it's best to clean before spills bake on, but if that doesn't happen clean any hardened food off using a scraper. The surface can then be cleaned with a few drops of cleaner. Polishes designed for ceramic cooktops are readily available. Glass ceramic cooktops are durable. Laboratory tests show that these surfaces have great mechanical strength and can withstand substantial impacts. Low horizontal conductivity means heat is transferred directly to cooking vessels, and nearby areas remain reasonably cool. If you have any questions or comments about glass ceramic cooktops feel free to use the comment section below. As always, you can also contact the experienced folks at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center at 877-696-2982. Some material above was taken from http://www.us.schott.com/hometech/english/products/ceran/index.html. Schott Glass is a leading manufacturer of Ceran ® ceramic glass.
