Purchasing a Garbage Disposer
Food Waste Disposers at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center When shopping for kitchen appliances it is easy to overlook the disposer. Yet, this is an essential appliance for the kitchen. At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center you can choose from these top brands: Franke, Frigidaire, GE, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool. When buying new or remodeling, a disposer should be part of the kitchen package. Also, whenever you are replacing a dishwasher, it's usually a good idea to replace your disposer at the same time (unless the disposer happens to be quite new). By replacing the disposer along with the dishwasher you can save on a second trip charge, and it is an easy switch out since the plumbing is being worked on at the same time. Disposers have motors of 1/3 hp, 1/2 hp, 3/4 hp, and 1 horsepower. Naturally, the disposers with higher horsepower will cost more. The larger hp disposers are also likely to have larger chambers meaning they will chop up more food quicker. Other features to consider are stainless steel disposer blades and chambers, and anti-jamming capabilities. There are two types of disposer systems - continuous feed and batch feed. A continuous feed disposer will have a separate switch usually located on a nearby wall. In a batch feed disposer, the motor is actuated by a locking cover on the disposer. While continuous feed disposers are by far the most common, some people prefer the safety and convenience of having the disposer only start when the disposer -

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.

Get up to $2000 back from GE
GE's biggest rebate ever at Universal Appliance and Kitchen CenterMIX OR MATCH & GET MORE BACK.Save up to $2000 when you purchase 2 or more eligible GE Profile™ Series, GE Café™ Series or GE® appliances. Includes kitchen and laundry appliances.Buy any 8 save $2,000Buy any 7 save $1,250Buy any 6 save $1,000Buy any 5 save $750Buy any 4 save $500Buy any 3 save $300Buy any 2 save $100Offer valid for products purchased May 22 – July 7, 2014.What does it mean when GE says this is their biggest rebate ever? At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) it wouldn't be unusual for a customer to get $2,000 or even more from Viking, Sub Zero, or Thermador on a luxury kitchen appliance package. The appliances can easily cost $25,000 or more.However, earning up to $2000 in rebates on a GE kitchen package is really quite a special offer. Considering that most appliance rebates among the popular brands such as GE, Frigidaire, and Whirlpool are in the $50 to $100 range, earning up to $2000 on GE appliances is a really good deal. For example, purchasing an upscale KitchenAid dishwasher, range, microwave, and refrigerator under their current rebate offer will on average work out to $500. What all of this amounts to is that if you're shopping for appliances in the popular/mid-level brand category you should take a hard look at GE, GE Profile, or GE Cafe for pricing and rebate savings. These are great brands -

Laundry Centers at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center
Washers and Dryers for Small SpacesLaundry Centers are an All-in-One SolutionWhen space is at a premium you may not have room for a full-size, side by side washer and dryer pair. A laundry center may be just what you need. Laundry centers feature a washer on the bottom and a dryer above. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) carries major brand laundry centers from GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Speed Queen, and Maytag.Just like side-by-side laundry units, these laundry centers are available with either gas or electric (240v) dryers, and need to be vented outside. Compact models are 24" wide, while 27" wide laundry centers will give you full-versions of both washer and dryer in a stacked configuration. The 27" models not only have larger capacity, but will also have most of the same features and cycles that you'd find on their separate counterparts. Carefully check all dimensions (height, width, and depth) to make sure that the laundry center will fit in the space you have available. You'll need hot and cold water connections, as well as 240v. electricity or gas line for the dryer, and a dryer vent.If you don't have either 240v. electricity or gas available for the dryer there are special models designed to work on 120v. but they will take longer to dry. There are also dryer models that are designed to work without an external vent, but there are tradeoffs to be made with these dryers as well. Finally, you may -

Reasons to Buy an Induction Cooktop or Range
4 Good Reasons to Consider InductionHere are four very good reasons you should consider induction if you are purchasing a new range or cooktop. If you think Induction might be for you, be sure to contact the cooking experts at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC). They carry all the major brands and have excellent selection and prices.1. Fast to heat Induction will heat faster than gas or conventional electric heating. One manufacturer has even touted that their induction cooktop will boil water in 90 seconds. Powerful electric coils under the glass surface create magnetic induction energy causing the metal cooking vessel to quickly heat up. The pan itself is what will cook your food in record time.2. Responsive Induction cooking is very responsive. Since the power turns on and off instantly and doesn't need to ramp up or down, you'll see boiling water stop boiling almost immediately when you turn off the power.3. Very little heat transfer to cooking surface Unlike traditional heating methods, the intense heat doesn't spread to the adjacent cooking surface, making cleanup a breeze. 4. Prices are the lowest ever.Just in the last year or two induction cooktops and ranges have dropped considerably in price. There are models for nearly any budget. Most appliance brands in the popular price range such as GE, Frigidaire, and Whirlpool now have induction models in their lineup. Upgrade brands such as KitchenAid, Bosch, GE Profile, and Electrolux have some great features and represent terrific values. For top of the line
