The World's Finest Coffee Maker?
Most Unique Coffee Maker EverTopBrewer available at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center There are many fine coffee makers available today. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center carries a complete selection of built-in coffee makers as well as the very fine countertop European brand, Nespresso. Built-in coffee maker brands include big names such as Bosch, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Gaggenau, Jenn-Air, and most recently Wolf. However, the unique and exclusive TopBrewer brand is certainly worth writing about. Truthfully, there is just nothing like it. The coffee maker itself remains hidden under the counter and the tap that delivers the coffee or espresso or cappucino is the only thing visible to the user. If you had to guess where a coffee maker with such a minimalistic design would come from you'd probably have Denmark near the top of your list and you'd be right on the mark. Here's what the makers of this amazing luxury product have to say about the design:Simply RevolutionaryThe beautiful, patented stainless steel tap is designed to be built into any tabletop.

Buying a Clothes Dryer
When to buy a clothes dryer1. When Purchasing a Washing Machine: There is no question that more dryers are purchased in connection with washer purchases than at any other time. It makes sense to have a matching dryer to go with your washer. So, it's not a surprise that around sixty percent of laundry buyers choose a matching laundry pair. A matching dryer will have the right capacity to handle a full load of clothes from the washer. Having this kind of throughput is important. When you're washing multiple loads of clothes it's nice to have the dryer available for use when the clothes are done washing. And, it sure perks up the laundry room to have a matching washer/dryer pair. 2. When you can save money:Washer/Dryer pairs are often promoted as sets. If you can get a great deal on the pair, take advantage of the savings. Ask the experts at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center for any manufacturer specials on laundry pairs. 3. When the old dryer breaks down: Assuming "old" means 12-15 years old or more, if your dryer breaks down, there's a good chance the repair bill will exceed the value of your dryer. Time for a visit to Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. 4. When switching from gas to electric or vice versa: If you move into a house with only a 240v receptacle for an electric dryer and you bring a -

Buying a New Dishwasher
Choose the RIGHT Dishwasher for your needs.4 Dishwasher Buying TipsA customer was shopping for a new dishwasher at the big chain home improvement store. A dishwasher priced at $399 was next to another dishwasher priced at $499. He asked the sales associate, "What's the difference?" The orange aproned salesperson replied with a smirk, "A hundred dollars". Funny, but sad. How helpful is that kind of answer when you're investing hundreds of dollars on a product that you hope to have for 10 or more years? The first tip in buying a new dishwasher is to work with appliance specialists. Don't expect to get expert advice on appliances from a salesperson who also sells tools, lumber, lawn and garden supplies, and light bulbs. At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) you'll receive expert help from appliance professionals. The associates at UAKC are factory trained and have years of appliance sales experience. Assess your needs. Spend some time thinking about what you want in a dishwasher. A person who lives alone, doesn't entertain, and eats most of his or her meals in a restaurant will need a vastly different dishwasher than the head of household for a family of 6 who entertains regularly, serves food on fine china, and uses premium glassware. Consider water consumption and energy savings. A dishwasher with a higher initial cost may in fact have a lower lifetime cost than a cheaper dishwasher that uses more electricity and more water.

Dishwasher Cycle Times
Dishwashers to get your dishes clean quicklyAvailable now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterOne of the most common issues that comes up on dishwasher reviews is the amount of time that it takes for a dishwasher to complete a full cycle. Customers report their frustration with dishwasher cycle times that can exceed three hours.Over the last decade dishwashers have radically reduced the amount of energy that they use, the amount of water that they consume, and at the same time dishwasher noise levels have dropped dramatically. However, these fantastic improvements have not occurred without tradeoffs. For example, instead of washing dishes in both racks simultaneously, several dishwasher brands now have spray arms that alternate washing dishes on the top rack and then switching to the bottom rack. With only half the dishes getting washed at any given time the sound levels go down, but naturally the wash times go up.So now, to address the consumer complaints of extended wash times, some dishwasher brands have quicker wash cycles for lightly soiled dishes or glasses.Jenn-Air touts a one hour wash for quick cleaning on the new Jenn-Air Trifecta™ dishwashers.Frigidaire's new dishwashers with the OrbitClean® wash system include a 30 minute Quick Wash.Miele trumps both Jenn-Air and Frigidaire with a 19 minute cycle on its model G7859. How can they get dishes clean with such a short wash cycle? Well, this Miele model is a commercial dishwasher that works on 208v. It's really designed for a community center, a day care facility, etc. -

Past and Present Appliance Innovations

Microwave ovens.Although the first microwave ovens date back to the 1950's, it wasn't until the late '70s that they became commonplace. Today, microwave ovens are considered a standard appliance in homes across America. While we could still debate some of the pros and cons of microwave cooking, the vote is in and microwave ovens will continue to be offered by the full line major appliance brands for the forseeable future.Microwave oven drawers.A valuable design alternative to the microwave hood (which some consider ergonomically unsound), the microwave drawer adds additional opportunities for the placement of a microwave. Under the counter, the microwave drawer is easily accessible and already has become commonplace in universal design schemes. There are a large selection of brands with microwave drawer options. Sharp is a leader in the category, but Dacor, Jenn-Air, Thermador, and Viking are just a few of the other brands avaialble.2. Convection ovens.This is a product that has been around for a long time and has gradually become a popular cooking method. Cooking with convection has been proven to save time and cook more evenly.
