Celebrate the Fourth of July with made in USA Appliances
Good News for Buyers of Made in the USA Appliances Get US Brand Appliances at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center If you are looking forward to the 4th of July holiday season with all the attending appliance sale events, you might think about buying American, and you might be surprised to find out that there are many good choices of high quality US brands made in the USA. Below is a blog we published last year detailing your options. It might be interesting and worthwhile to look at the landscape of appliance brands and manufacturing to identify the brands by nationality and by where they are manufactured. In other words, which brands are "American" brands and what is manufactured in the U.S. By the way, we mean "made" or "manufactured" to also include assembly. Most manufacturing facilities today are primarily assembly factories where parts are attached to a chassis. American brands of major appliances include Whirlpool and GE as full-line manufacturers. Whirlpool is the largest appliance manufacturer in the world though over half their sales are in the U.S. Their headquarters are in the U.S. and they are listed on the U.S. stock exchange. Whirlpool also makes and sells U.S. appliances under these brand names: Amana, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Maytag. They claim that over 80% of the appliances they sell in the U.S. are made in the U.S. Though listed on the U.S. stock exchange, GE is a true multi-national, doing business all over the world making and selling everything -

3 Appliances that keep your kitchen cool
Want to keep your kitchen cool this summer? Try these appliances from Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Summer is here and hot kitchens are the norm. How can appliances help keep your kitchen cool? Take a look at three appliances that will do the job: Maytag Double Oven RangeThe Maytag Gemini double oven range features a small oven over the main oven. The convenience of cooking meals in the smaller upper oven has the added benefit of not needing to heat up that big oven for a small meal. It will cook a pork tenderloin, roast a chicken, or even bake a lasagna. All in the same time or less than the big oven. GE Advantium® Speed Cook Micro-HoodWhile microwave ovens cook quickly without heating up the kitchen, their performance can leave you cold. Breads and other baked products tend to dry out. Meats don't brown or carmelize. There is a new generation of "speed cook" appliances that combine microwave cooking with other methods to get the best of both worlds. GE's Advantium® system uses a combination of microwave power, halogen lights, and conventional elements to cook faster than a conventional oven, yet produce oven quality taste and texture that cannot be achieved with microwave alone. The Advantium® is available as a micro-hood and a built-in oven; in both 120v and 240v versions. Understandably, the 120v Advantium® is not quite as speedy as the 240v -

Choosing a New Range
3 Fuel Types and 3 Types of Ranges If you're building or remodeling and thinking about your new range, here are some options to consider. Fuel Types Before we look at the different style types, let's consider the different fuel types of ranges. Electric and gas ranges are the basic choices. Practically speaking, however, you may not have a choice. Some homes are total electric. Even if you have both gas and electric, you may not have a gas stub or 220v electrical service near your range location which will limit you to one or the other unless you choose to pay to have a gas or electric line brought in. An option that is becoming increasingly popular is Dual-fuel. Dual-fuel ranges have gas cooking surfaces and electric ovens. Types of Ranges Freestanding RangeA freestanding range often has controls and/or clock located on a back panel that rises above the surface of the range. It also has finished side panels that allow it to be installed at the end of a cabinet run. The above Maytag freestanding range has two ovens, a configuration that is growing in popularity. Slide-in RangeSlide-in ranges have controls in the front, no back panel, and have a lip on the top which slides over the adjacent cabinet countertop on each side of the range. This gives the unit a built-in look. Slide-in ranges typically have unfinished sides. Drop-in -

When is the best time to buy new Appliances? Most appliances are purchased as replacements.

Choosing an Appliance Brand
Popular Name Brands vs Unfamiliar Brands 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.

Microwave Ovens in a Kitchen Island
Installing a microwave in a kitchen Island. Utilizing an island for kitchen appliances is often just a case of good space planning. Designers are increasingly installing microwave ovens in the kitchen island. Microwave ovens can be problematic against a wall where upper cabinets a) may not make sense ergonomically, and b) don't fit in a standard 12" deep cabinet. The island turns out to be a logical and convenient location for a microwave oven. The easily accessible microwave oven under the counter is a good example of universal design at work. Consumers can choose from an inexpensive countertop microwave with trim kit, or if they don't like the side swing door, several manufacturers offer built-in options with drop down doors. Some companies even have microwave ovens which have a motorized drawer. Here are three brands that offer good options for island microwaves: KitchenAid KitchenAid offers a choice of built-in microwave ovens that can work nicely in an island. The oven below is a 24" wide oven that comes with a 27", and 30" trim kit so that it can work in a 24", 27", or 30" cabinet. KitchenAid also offers a very powerful built-in Micro-Convection oven that is available in a 240v. version.Sharp Sharp is a leader in microwave ovens and pioneered the microwave drawer. They also source microwave drawers for a number of other leading brands. The Sharp microwave drawer is available in both a 27" and 30" version. [caption id="" -
