Thinking about a trash compactor?
Should you buy a trash compactor?Trash compactors first became popular in the 70's. Today, trash compactors are part of the lineup for most appliance manufacturers. The pros of buying a trash compactor include: 1) the convenience of having fewer trips taking the trash out, and 2) the benefit of a smaller footprint at our waste disposal sites by compressing your trash 5 times. However, there is the thought that recycle bins are more environmentally helpful. It's worth pointing out that these solutions are not mutually exclusive. In fact, if you typically recycle, you might consider using a compactor exclusively for recyclables. How trash compactors work.Trash compactors have a powerful motor that will compress trash as much as 5:1 when activated, compressing loose contents into a small package. Typically, compactors will fit in a standard depth 24" deep cabinet, and at 34 1/2" tall will fit nicely under a standard 36" countertop. The most common width is 15". Most compactors also have a deodorizer or charcoal filter. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center can help. UAKC sells all the major trash compactor brands, as well as the premium and luxury brands, from the popularly priced Whirlpool brand to a luxury Viking brand compactor and everything in between. One super-premium brand, Jenn-Air has just launched a new compactor. Below are the details on Jenn-Air's new compactor:Efficiently reduce your trash by up to 80% with the Jenn-Air® Trash Compactor. It's equipped with Anti-Jam and Tilt Sensors for smooth operation on large waste products. Features:5:1 -

While it's great to clean the closets and scrub the floors, let's not ignore our appliances. They need periodic cleaning as well. Cleaning the Outside. Clean the outside of your refrigerator thoroughly. Soap and water is good to start with. Non-abrasive liquid household cleaners are generally fine, but check the contents since some cream type cleaners have a type of grit in them. Elbow grease will help with most that is stuck on, but for tougher smudges try first soaking to soften-up and then carefully use a plastic scraper with a smooth edge to avoid scratching. Remove the shelves or racks, and clean them thoroughly with soap and water. Use an antibacterial soap or cleanser if you have one. Empty the crispers and any other drawers or compartments, and remove them if you can. Clean the crispers thoroughly, just as you did the shelves. While the shelves are still out of the refrigerator wipe down the interior walls of the refrigerator. Deep Cleaning Pull your refrigerator away from the wall. Refrigerators have wheels, but they may be inoperable when the leveling legs are lowered after installation. Look for the turnscrews and use them to raise the leveling legs so that you can roll out the refrigerator without damaging your floor. Clean the floor behing the unit, and if necessary, the wall behind the refrigerator. If there are -

See blogs below:Two Viking Range Events Will Save You MoneyLuxury Appliances on a BudgetHow to Get Free AppliancesHowever, today we're offering 5 tips on saving money on the operation of your appliances. Clean appliances operate more efficiently. A dirty gasket on your refrigerator can create air gaps and let cool air escape, causing the refrigerator to run more. Clogged up ports in your dishwasher spray arms make dishwasher run longer to get dishes clean. If possible run appliances during off peak hours to save on electricity. Many appliances have delay timers that allow users to set start and stop times. Use energy saving cycles. It's not enough just having a light wash, a vacation mode, or a cold water cycle on an appliance. In order to actually save energy/money appliance owners must select and utilize these cycles when appropriate. Clean filters regularly. Range hoods, dishwashers, refrigerators, and dryers, all may have filters that need to be either cleaned or replaced periodically so that they can operate properly and efficiently.
