Speed Queen - an Old Brand that's New Again
A Legendary Brand ResurfacesCommercial Quality Washers and Dryers at UAKCSpeed Queen traces its origins to 1908 when Joe Barlow and John Seeling began tearing down hand operated washing machines with the idea of creating an automatic version. By 1911 they had added an electric motor to power the machine, and began selling automatic washers. By 1939 Speed Queen introduced a Stainless Steel tub, a feature that identified the brand, and is still used today.Speed Queen continued to grow both as a home brand and in commercial and coin-operated laundries. The company became part of McGraw-Edison, Raytheon, and eventually Alliance Laundry Systems. The largest commercial laundry company in the U.S., Alliance re-launced Speed Queen as a residential brand for home several years ago. It's built with their commercial quality, and includes many of Speed Queen's signature features including an industry-leading warranty. Here's what they have to say about their warranty and a run-down on a featured Speed Queen laundry pair.THE LONGEST LASTING WASHERS WITH A WARRANTY TO MATCHThe best top load washer on the market also comes with the best warranty. Our industry-best 5-year warranty covers all parts and in-home labor on electronic control models. That’s right.

Advances in Refrigerators
We've Come a Long WayGE Refrigerator with Keurig Coffee Cartridge at UAKCGeneral Electric (GE) recently launched a new French Door Refrigerator that sports a Keurig Coffee Cartridge. Owners of this refrigerator can clear their countertops of coffee makers. The GE refrigerator with the Keurig Cartridge will brew up a fresh cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. just like a Keurig coffee maker.Frankly, when I first saw GE's new fridge being demonstrated at a trade show, I smiled and dismissed this as just another gimmick. Recently, I asked myself if I was giving this a fair hearing. Back in the 70's manufacturers added water and ice dispensers in the doors of refrigerators, I'm sure that someone like me thought that was silly. After all, how hard is it to open the door of your refrigerator to access ice and water. Jeez!!Seriously, making a fresh, hot cup of coffee or other hot beverage, quickly with no muss or fuss is pretty cool. So, here's the scoop direct from GE on this new innovative refrigerator feature.GE CAFÉ™ SERIES ENERGY STAR® 22.2 CU. FT. COUNTER-DEPTH FRENCH-DOOR REFRIGERATOR WITH KEURIG® K-CUP® BREWING SYSTEMCHOOSE YOUR BREWThe single serve brewer is designed to accept a variety of K-Cup pods so you can enjoy coffee, tea, cider, and hot cocoa all from the refrigerator.

Luxury Range now Available with LP Gas
You CAN get a Pro Range that operates on Propane!Order this New Jenn-Air at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Most of us who cook with gas ranges use Natural Gas, BUT for a surprising number of households LP (Propane) is the only gas fuel type available. Not a problem for standard gas ranges, since they usually can be converted from Natural Gas to LP. However, Pro-Style ranges often cannot be converted. Customers must order specific models that are preconfigured for LP gas. Unfortunately, every model of every brand is not always built in both Natural and LP versions.Good News! Jenn-Air has just released a new version of it's popular JGRP430WP 30" Gas Range in a LP version model JGLRP430WP. Here's a key feature rundown:This commercial-style Jenn-Air® Pro-Style® LP range offers power and precision. Its four burners include a 14,000 BTU Dual-Stacked PowerBurner for high-heat cooking and a simmer burner for more delicate cooking. Six different convection cooking modes like bake, roast and broil distribute heat evenly and thoroughly, for beautifullyconsistent results.Dual-Fan MultiMode® True Convection SystemThis system features an oval heating element and two round fans that distribute heat evenly and thoroughly throughout the oven.

Paralysis by Analysis
Deciding on a new appliance.UAKC can help you make the right decision.Recently, I wanted to buy an additional monitor for my office computer setup. I shopped around, and knew the prices, features, and sizes that would work for me. Yet, I agonized endlessly over this model or that, and I just couldn't decide. Suddenly, it struck me that I spent less time deciding over a new car that costs tens of thousands than over an inexpensive electronic device that cost only a few hundred dollars. Why was I spending all this time debating back and forth over something that cost so little?This is called paralysis by analysis. To one degree or another, we all have it. If you need a new refrigerator, a washer and dryer, or even an entire suite of kitchen appliances, you don't want to make a mistake....but, you also don't want to needlessly deny yourself these new appliances just because of your paralysis by analysis syndrome.Here's a suggestion: Call or visit Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center. I've know these folks for a long time (long before I began writing these blogs). They won't waste your time. They are very knowledgeable. Tell them what your situation is, and in no time at all they'll make a few recommendations. They'll try to match your requests for brand, quality level, pricing, etc. with the best overall choices that fit your needs.With their large selection of brands, and great pricing you really won't need to be shopping around.

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
