New Refrigerators Inside at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center
What's Inside Your Refrigerator?Materials used inside today's refrigeratorsThe interior of a new refrigerator is most likely to have a sturdy plastic liner made of material called ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Between the ABS liner and the metal exterior of the refrigerator is foamed polyurethane. Some refrigerators may be made with metal interiors such as stainless steel. Once standard for refrigerator interiors, porcelain is no longer used to line the inside of refrigerators. The latest trend for the inside of your fridge appears to be new colors. Visit Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center to review all the new refrigerator interiors and options.

Sizing a Room Air Conditioner
Get the Right Sized Air ConditonerAt Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterSo, you need a new room air conditioner. How do you make sure you get the right size? Below are a few tips from the folks at energystar.gov. Once you get the right size, the right place is Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC). They carry the full line of both Soleus-AIr and Friedrich air conditioners, and are sure to have the right air conditioner for your needs at the best price.While you don't want to get an air conditioner that is too small, it's also important that the air conditioner is not too large. While an over-sized room air conditioner will cool a room quickly, it also will not run long enough to do a good job of removing the humidity, leaving you with a cool room that is also damp.Here is the chart published by energystar.gov If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person. If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 BTUs. Consider where you install the unit. If you are mounting an air conditioner near the corner of a room, look for a unit that can send the airflow in the right directionTo learn about the different types of room air conditioners available refer to our previous blog:Choosing a Room Air ConditionerFor expert advice on room air conditioners, major appliances, and plumbing fixtures contact the professionals at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center today.Two locations -

Discover GE Appliances at UAKC
GE WorldWide Industrial Giant Makes and Sells Major Appliances What's UP with GE at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center It's hard to imagine major appliances in the U.S. without General Electric...but then it's hard to imagine a lot of industries without GE. From Jet Engines to Lightbulbs - From Plastics to Powerplants, GE seems to be everywhere.In appliances, General Electric covers the gamut from the mass market GE brand with the famous logo or "bug" right up through upscale line extensions such as GE Profile and GE Café to their luxury GE Monogram lineup. You can get them all at one of Southern California's leading retailers of major appliances and plumbing fixtures Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC). Only Whirlpool with it's Amana, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air brands and perhaps Electrolux with Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery, Electrolux, and Elextrolux Icon have offerings that come close to covering the gamut of price points and market variety that GE Appliances presents.

Cabinet Depth Refrigerators vs Full Depth Refrigerators
What are cabinet depth or counter depth refrigerators?Appliance manufacturers may build similar freestanding refrigerators in both a full-depth version and a cabinet or counter-depth model. Most of the major brands such as Frigidaire, GE, Bosch, and Whirlpool offer cabinet depth models. Premium brands such as KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, GE Profile, and Electrolux also offer a wide selection of cabinet-depth refrigerators. Of course, all of them are available for you at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC), Southern California's premier appliance showrooms. However, these refrigerators with a shallower depth will have less capacity and cost more than their full-depth counterparts. Why then have cabinet-depth refrigerators become so popular? First let's examine what we mean when we describe a refrigerator as being cabinet depth. Cabinet depth refrigerators are refrigerators that have roughly the same depth as cabinets. Cabinets are normally 24 inches deep or a bit more if the cabinet door is not inset, and countertops are likely to extend an inch beyond the cabinet. Therefore, cabinet or counter-depth refrigerators are designed to fit within the surrounding cabinets so that they do not not protrude into the kitchen much beyond that 24"-25". In practice, counter-depth refrigerators are likely to measure around 24" deep not counting the doors, and about 27" including the door, but not the handle. They look good and fit well into a standard space, only sticking out a bit. In contrast, their big full-depth counterparts could easily extend into the kitchen aisle another 6 or -

Read more below about Ol' Lonely and today's top-rated Maytag appliances.Remember Ol' Lonely, the Maytag Repairman? The first Maytag Man was actor Jesse White, followed by the lovable Gordon Jump (aka station manager, Arthur Carlson of WKRP in Cincinnati). Now, Maytag is launching Maytag Man v.5.0, Colin Ferguson. Here's what Maytag has to say about the latest ad campaign and the re-incarnation of the iconic repairman."Since the first introduction of [the Maytag Repairman] in 1967, we're finally undergoing an evolution of the brand...for generations, he's represented durability, reliability and power. These virtues are still alive and we need to remind consumers of him and stay contemporary with [them]," says Heather Jones, senior brand manager for Maytag."This campaign introduces new creative that evolves the Repairman into the Maytag Man. He's actually a human embodiment of the machine and brings the motto to life...while our appliances are machines, they have human virtues of strength and dependability, which we bring to life by portraying him as the actual machine."Whether it's Love him or Leave Him, Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down for the new guy, Maytag's -

Jenn-Air® 24-Inch Steam and Convection Wall Oven
UAKC is Headquarters for Combi Steam Convection OvensUniversal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has long been at the forefront with the new generation of Steam Convection Ovens. While European brands Miele, Thermador, and Gaggenau have had steam convection ovens for a while, American brands such as Wolf and Viking have only recently introduced their versions. Jenn-Air is among the most recent to enter the field."Our latest ovens are engineered to deliver precise results and offer a range of cooking modes from steam cooking to proofing,” notes Juliet Johnson, Jenn-Air Brand Experience Marketing Manager. “Aesthetically, they’re designed to seamlessly integrate into a variety of contemporary kitchen layouts.”More details from Jenn-Air are provided below about the new oven. A couple of important details that we'd like to point out are: The new Jenn-Air Steam Convection oven operates on a standard 110v. 15amp. circuit. This could be critically important, because your electrician will not have to pull a new 240v. wire just for this oven. The unit fits a standard 24" wall cabinet, but Jenn-Air is making available trim kits to finish out the oven to make it also fill a 27" or 30" wall cabinet.OverviewThis versatile wall oven uses steam to preserve nutrients in vegetables and tenderness in meats, and convection for evenly-baked pastries and roasts. Use steam and convection together for food that’s tender inside and roasted or crisped outside.Steam Plus Convection ModeTo keep meats tender and juicy inside and magnificently browned on -
