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 -

When to Buy New Appliances
When is the best time to buy new Appliances? Most appliances are purchased as replacements. That usually means that there is an old dishwasher or refrigerator that is creaking and groaning or has already quit creaking and groaning and has given up entirely. Should you wait until this happens and max out your Mastercard at the least convenient time, or is there a better way? Here's an idea. How old are your appliances? If your dishwasher is nearing 10 years old and your refrigerator is a few years older than that, they're getting darn close to the end of their useful age. Rather than wait for their impending death, why not take advantage of opportunities to save money? There's a Memorial Day Sale going on right now at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC).

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. While all the brands referred to above are well-known and well-positioned in their market segments, there are other lesser-known brands that deserve consideration as well.

Featured NEW Product from GE
New GE 30" Self Cleaning Range Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) is known for its great selection of luxury appliances and plumbing fixtures. But, did you know that that UAKC is one of Southern California's leading suppliers of mainstream appliances? They feature great brands for all budgets such as Frigidaire, Amana, Whirlpool, and of course GE. The GE range below has traditional coil elements, but is updated with a huge self-cleaning oven, big window, and a PowerBoil™ coil element. While radiant smooth top ranges and gas burners have many advantages, coil elements have been proven to boil water faster than any current cooking method except induction. Also, coil elements are a favorite of home canning aficionados. And some traditionalists just prefer using the electric coil elements with which they are comfortable. GE® 30" Free-Standing Electric Range *Self-clean ovenCleans the oven cavity without the need for scrubbing5.3 cu. ft. oven capacityEnough room to cook an entire meal at oncePowerBoil™ coil elementProduces rapid, powerful heatHeavy-duty roller rackProvides easy access to oven interiorBig view windowEnjoy a clear view of the food you’re cookingDual element bakeUpper and lower elements produce even heat and great results *Self-Clean Ovens Baking is often a messy process, with spills, spatters, boil-overs, drips and drops. When the baking is done the cleaning begins. Luckily, GE Appliances invented and patented the first self-clean oven in 1963. The self-cleaning process cleans the oven interior conveniently and automatically, eliminating the need for messy hand-cleaning. While Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) -

How important is a brand name?
Name brand appliances tell a story. Marketers use the term brand equity to describe the worth of a brand. Brands are built over time and firms invest millions in their brand image and reputation. A brand has meaning. It stands for something. A marketing executive once said, "A brand is a promise." When considering appliance brands, the brand tells a story. Major appliance manufacturers segment their brands to fit different buyers. For example, some brands are considered value brands. Value brands are built and priced to represent a value to entry level buyers who need performance at a price, i.e. good value on a tight budget. At the other extreme of the price spectrum are luxury and super luxury brands. These are the Cadillacs and Bentleys of the appliance industry and they carry a luxury cache' and a luxury price tag as well. In the middle are core or mass brands such as Whirlpool and GE that represent a wide range of choices and prices in the broad middle of the consumer market. Above the mass brands are premium brands that don't quite fit in the luxury category, but are a step up from the mass brands. Some marketers refine these brands even more adding for example, super premium brands, brands that are between premium and luxury. In any case, the story brands tell is related to the segment of the population that the brand is trying to represent. Customers sometimes self-select their own market category. Often demographics and income -
